WELCOME TO PEACE PARTNERSHIP INTERNATIONAL
. . . learn about our work to forge partnerships with and among government, civil society, and business, to help create a culture of peace. We recognize that such partnerships and healthy relationships are essential for and thus the norm in a sustainable and vibrant culture of peace. We further recognize that the seeds of a culture of peace already exist and that the principles and the processes of peace are of paramount importance to the development of a sustainable and productive future.
These understandings motivate our mission and our work.
Peace Partnership International is proud to be officially associated with the United Nations Department of Public Information.

Corporate Reports
Peace Partnership International's latest Annual Program Report describes our activities and accomplishments over the fiscal year August 2007-July 2008 in our three strategic initiative areas: National Peace Academy, Structures in Government Supporting a Culture of Peace, and Building Bridges of Peace.
Advancing the Culture of Peace: Is Peace a Human Right?
Led by Peace Partnership International’s UN representative Anne Creter, the Culture of Peace Working Group of the NGO Committee on Spirituality, Values and Global Concerns at the United Nations organized a workshop entitled “Advancing the Culture of Peace: Is Peace a Human Right?” that took place at the UN on 21 October 2008. The workshop featured a keynote by Ambassador Hilario G. Davide, Jr., of the Philippines, a panel moderated by Peace Partnership International’s President and CEO Dot Maver, and closing remarks by Ambassador Anwarul K. Chowdhury, Former Under-Secretary-General and High Representative of the United Nations. Anne Creter reports.
Peace Partnership International has participated in International Day of Peace activities every year since 2005. In 2008 we also supported the nomination, and eventual selection, of Gabriela Posada to speak at the UN’s International Day of Peace Youth Observance (photo left). In her speech, Gabriela encouraged youth from around the globe to become peacemakers and peacekeepers.
Juan Pacheco of Barrios Unidos provides this profile of Gabriela, which led to her being selected, as well as the text of her speech.
Mary Lee Morrison, Founding Director of Pax Educare, Inc., offers this Profile of Peace. Both Mary Lee Morrison and Elise Boulding are on the Advisory Board for the National Peace Academy.
"Elise Boulding has been called the “matriarch” of the twentieth century peace research movement. Boulding, sociologist emeritus from Dartmouth College, is noted for her scholarly accomplishments in three key academic areas of study -- peace, women and futures. She was in “on the ground floor” of each of these emerging disciplines and eventually played pivotal leadership roles within each."
Treasures of Discovery and Peace along the Silk Road
Marla Mossman travels the ancient Silk Road in search of her roots. Along the way she finds peace. Marla shares her discoveries through her photography and writings. She says: “People involved in the culture of peace hold notions of peace as practical and necessary. We don’t have to be a perfected deity in order to achieve a sense of enlightenment. We are already divine in the moment. That’s the kind of positive energy we should start from in our institutions. That’s what the culture of peace is about.”
Robert M. Weir provides Marla Mossman's Profile of Peace.
Peace Partnership International has signed a memorandum of understanding to serve as fiscal sponsor for Cascadia Peace Development Fund, a for-profit enterprise working to promote "practical peacebuilding." Cascadia funds financially viable products and sustainable programs worldwide that promote peace, and it supports individuals and organizations who are working to bring about peace. All revenues are invested back into funding further peace projects, including those of Peace Partnership International.

Peace Day Magazine
The International Day of Peace is September 21, 2008. In celebration of that day, World Peace Emerging. has published an on-line e-zine, Peace Day Magazine. The article entitled “Quest for a New World” describes the work of
Peace Partnership International, including our National Peace Academy
initiative and engagement with the Global Alliance for Ministries and
Departments of Peace. A sidebar presents the model of the Icebergs of
Violence and Peace and invites readers to an on-line forum, called Global Mastermind,
to share thoughts about that model and its implications for the general
shift to a culture of peace that is taking place worldwide.
