Outward Bound Center for Peacebuilding Works with leaders, communities and organizations to offer a unique learning and doing experience, rooted at the intersection of people – nature – peace.

Together we seek to build a more compassionate, resilient, peaceful world Outward Bound Peacebuilding uses the Outward Bound approach of experiential learning in the outdoors to challenge and inspire leaders in divided societies to build peace. We work with partners around the world to design programs that embrace traditional Outward Bound values and approaches to learning by doing, with a special emphasis on compassionate leadership, cooperative learning, and creative action. We call this Experiential Peacebuilding. Since 2009, Outward Bound Peacebuilding has challenged and inspired more than 200 peacebuilding leaders from 25 countries throughout the world. We believe that peacebuilding requires investment and support of local leaders, who are best positioned to bring positive change to their communities and societies. We engage with our alumni over the long-term, and we seek to learn and adapt our projects based on the needs of our partners and our participants.

Always proud to be part of the global Outward Bound network - one that is committed to the belief that we can all be more so that we can do more - for ourselves, for one another and for the planet.


Today, September 21st, the International Day of Peace, we reflect on ourselves as peacebuilders.

At Outward Bound Center for Peacebuilding, we believe that sustainable peace is built from the inside out.

Connecting to Self - Knowing Ourselves - building up and out from our own deeply held values, beliefs and core experiences allows us to engage with the potential for peace that is defined by compassion, curiosity, collaboration and care - beginning with care for our self.

✨“Peacebuilding is community building”:

Peace and Peacebuilding are at the heart of RBC’s values and of UWC’s mission statement. What can this mean in practice?

Founded by staff members in 2022, our school’s Anti-Racism Working Group (AR Group) is promoting a more structural approach to addressing issues of inequality, racism, and peacebuilding within our diverse community.

In 2024, the College put in place a steering committee, with both student and staff members of the AR Group, that reports to our school’s management.

In an interview, Natasha, Emilio and Anna, members of the AR Group, speak about their work, learnings and the idea to introduce Peacebuilding Project Weeks at RBC.

👉You can find the interview on our website!

Empathy as a muscle and resilience as a collective - needed today and every day.
