Mission Statement for the Campus Peace Centers Working Group
The purpose of the Campus Peace Center project is to foster the development of a global, interconnected peace movement on college campuses. Members of the UN NGO Committee for Spirituality, Values and Global Concerns are exploring the means to encourage autonomous Campus Peace Centers by maintaining a website for the purpose of coordination among various Centers in the United States and worldwide, and will offer the resources available to us at the United Nations to widen the scope of peace-oriented collaboration.
What is a Campus Peace Center?
A campus Peace Center is a gathering place for students to share information, inspiration, ideas, and projects for creating a culture of peace.
Each center is unique, developed by the students according to the character of their own college or university. Taking a holistic approach, the Peace Center welcomes students involved in many different aspects of peace-making, from environmentally oriented activities, to political affairs, to the arts, sports and culture.
All Peace Centers may choose to be part of an on-line network of campus Peace Centers worldwide, and to join with the Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) Community at the United Nations.
