The Power of Peace Network
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

The new and emerging technologies of information and communication are shaping the 21st century. We have unprecedented opportunity to learn together and in so doing better understand who we are in our diverse world. The better we know each other and share our diverse cultural realities, the less likely we are to go to war.

Mutual understanding comes from exploring and doing things together. Collaboration is the way ahead. Young people in particular understand this. They are learning and creating within the formal halls of learning, as well as on Facebook, YouTube and other up-and-coming outlets. Given this new environment, how might we best take our young people by the hand so they can lead us into the future?

The University of Waterloo and UNESCO are launching a Wiki-style learning innovation that combines the resources of multiple universities around the world with local stories told by young talent from many regions and cultures of the world. A media and ICT platform called The Power of Peace Education Network (PPN) is the backbone of this multi-partner venture.
