Pathways To Peace

The eight paths are peace through:

  • Culture
  • Economics/Business
  • Education
  • Environment/Habitat
  • Governance/Law
  • Health/Relationship
  • Science/Technology
  • Spirituality/Religion

Pathways To Peace (PTP) is an international not-for-profit peace building, educational, and consulting organization. The mission of Pathways To Peace is threefold: to expand the comprehension and substantive expression of "PEACE" and peacebuilding practices at all levels; to build Cultures of Peace by uniting and enhancing the strengths of existing organizations and programs along eight paths to Peace; to contribute, through consultation and direct participation, to the evolving mission of the United Nations and to citizens’ worldwide participation in the International Day of Peace (Hear The Children Day). The mission of Pathways To Peace is accomplished through its projects and consulting services.

Current projects which demonstrate the practical aspects of Peace include:

  • PeaceBuilding Inquiry for the 21st Century (PB21),
  • Peace Within Organizations,
  • People4Peace,
  • Cultures of Peace Education Project, and
  • Events with Peace Leaders.
  • PeaceBuilding.com

The PeaceBuilding Inquiry for the 21st Century, inaugurated and coordinated by PTP, grew into an international collaboration with organizations such as the Center for Int’l. Peace-Building, Fetzer Institute, Foundation for Conscious Evolution, H.M.S. Associados, Institute of Noetic Sciences, Institute for Multi-Track Diplomacy, Schumacher Projects and World Business Academy.

Examples of collaborative projects with other organizations include: Rights of the Child Caucus, the World Summit of Children, Action Coalition for Global Change, Global Youth Action Network; Affiliate with IMTD and United Religions Initiative

On a global scale, PTP serves as International Secretariat for the "WE THE PEOPLES" INITIATIVE (http://wethepeoples.org) This citizens’ Initiative is a multicultural and intergenerational movement of established groups and organizations cooperating to make peace a practical reality in the 21st Century. Granted "Peace Messenger Initiative" status by the U.N., this peacebuilding Initiative contributes to the evolving mission of the United Nations and to the direct participation of young people in strategic decisions which impact the quality of life for the children of this and future generations.

The International Day of Peace is the annual Day on which Participants high-light local/global progress to peace in its multifold expressions. Starting in 1995, this Day is also known as Hear The Children Day.

"Peace", as it is defined by Pathways To Peace, is both an innate state of being and a dynamic, evolutionary process. Peace begins with ourselves, living in harmony with one another, the Earth and all Circles of Life. PTP’s operating principle-in-action is:

Acting in concert, we do make a difference in the quality of our lives, our institutions, our environment and our planetary future. Through cooperation, we manifest the essential spirit that unites us amidst our diverse ways.

Envisioned in 1945, Pathways To Peace initiated research and development in integrative decision-making in 1962 and began its consulting in the early 1970’s. It was incorporated in 1983. Pathways To Peace has Consultative II Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council, and works with the U.N. Centre for Human Rights, U.N.

BigMindMedia

It is amazing, but Internet technologies actually support curiosity, social thinking, deep learning and sympathetic and meaning ful involvement in the world - a world where good conversations are the pathway to action and creation. Organizations are increasingly places where people talk, and need to talk and listen more - over a wider social, cultural, and geoplotical landscape.

BigMindMedia is at home with social and organizational issues and technical enhancements available through Internet technologies. The result is that people separated in time and space (and the barriers of their own office doors and hallways)can be much more intimately connected, getting to know each other, and having more meaningful, strategic and heartfelt communications.

Creating open conversational environemnts in organizations works when social and community values are openly discused. We think that real wealth requires trust and openness and the full development and participation of owners, workers, clients, and impacting political and governance folks.

We see ourselves as working with clients to integate technologies of communication and presence into their internal organization and external relationships - web pages and conversations can be integrated in an elegant way that builds identity and good feeling. BigMindMedia.com
