The National Peace Academy’s understanding of peace is shaped by the definition contained in the Earth Charter: “…peace is the wholeness created by right relationships with oneself, other persons, other cultures, other life, Earth, and the larger whole of which all are a part.” Building peace begins with the interdependent and dynamic interrelationships between and among all organisms and their surroundings in a living system, and requires that we actively strive to establish right relationships with Earth and its ecosystems.
