Peace Revolution - World Peace Initiative Foundation

PEACE REVOLUTION

Objective

Established in 2008, Peace Revolution is a global project that strives to bring peace to the world through supporting individuals to find peace within: Peace In Peace Out. The core principle of the program is that when individuals first experience inner peace (Peace In) a sustainable world peace can happen (Peace Out). Peace Revolution has an online social platform that aims to address that imbalance by providing an opportunity for young people from around the world to learn and share positive messages and activities relating to peace. The project also aims to empower young people via a unique process related to youth development to make informed and moral choices about how they live their lives and actively participate in society.

Peace Revolution Project Methodology

The program therefore aims for youth’s “personal and moral” development. Participants of the program denoted as Peace Rebels will be inspired and trained to create a transformation for themselves and then the society they belong to. The Peace Revolution’s Youth Development Process is centered on the following key terms: inner peace education, self-development program, Special Ops and fellowship program.

1. The inner peace education allows Peace Rebels to attain peace at both the individual and community levels starts with self development.
2. The online self-development program includes three sections: inner peace education previously mentioned, self-discipline and daily entry. Peace Rebels are asked to maintain the acts of self-discipline during the 42-day program. The daily entry has set of questions to encourage peace rebels to look more closely at themselves and their relationships with others. Each Peace Rebel is allocated a group of Peace Coaches who follows the rebel’s progress and provides encouragement and support.
3. Peace Rebels are encouraged and to share inner peace with their families, friends and community through various offline activities “Special Ops” so they learn how to combine Peace In with other Peace Out activities for their society.
4. Peace Rebels who have completed the online program are invited to join offline fellowship to attend one of the meditation retreats in Thailand. After joining the fellowship, they will become agents of peace or “Peace Agents” who devote themselves for the causes of peace in their society and the world.

Peace Revolution Project Outcome

Launched in July 2008, Peace Revolution now has over 200 Peace Agents worldwide. In 2013, there will be fellowships in Europe, Thailand and Peru.
