Create Peace Project

www.createpeaceproject.org Create Peace Project elevates the voices and visions of youth for peace around the world using the creative arts.

Create Peace Project (CPP) is an arts-for-peace-education organization working to empower children around the world to promote peace through creativity. We achieve this by facilitating collaborative arts workshops and engaging youth in positive peace practices through our arts-for-peace projects. We are founded on the belief that making art is one of the greatest tools for deepening self-awareness

, self-regulation, increasing social-emotional intelligence, strengthening community and fostering connection ~ by building bridges between people that ultimately create peace. Using both individual and collaborative art projects, we have developed a multi-faceted, peace education and peace promotion global initiative. In our work with more than 50,000 children and adults from 50 countries, we have seen that the practice of peace starts with the individual and then ripples outward. The positive change that occurs through those ripples – with individuals, in families, on communities – is acting as a change agent in ways that governmental policies and practices cannot. This is why CPP uses creativity and self-expression as our primary tools to engage participants in promoting uplifting and positive messages while learning how to work together to resolve differences non-violently. In this fast-paced age of over-stimulation, heightened violence, under-nourishment and socio-economic stress, it is imperative that we find ways to empower youth to create a more peaceful world that will benefit us all.
