An Interesting "New Year's Resolution"

January 3, 2012 January 5, 2012 PathWise Support

“The Education for Peace Integrative Curriculum is designed on the premise that the over-riding prerequisite for peace is the consciousness of the oneness of humanity within the operation of a unity-based worldview. Not until we realise that we are all members of one family of humanity and that our welfare or ill-health is inseparable, will we become fully commited to and effectively involved in the cause of peace. It is in this context that the other generally identified prerequisites of peace such as respect for human rights, the presence of democratic governance and the rule of law, environments conducive to healing from the impact of conflict and violence, and skills for violence-free conflict resolution and peace-keeping become realistically achievable.”

Let us have a new “New Year Resolution”: to become truly conscious of the oneness of humanity. And it is in this spirit that we wish to salute all peoples and organizations that are working for the cause of peace through their regular activities, conferences, courses, workshops, etc. Among them are:
