VISION & MISSION
========================================
Despite the many differences that exist between
individuals, we should all live in harmony in the global village; however, war
and conflict currently threaten the lives and safety of all. In order to end
war and inherit everlasting peace in the future, we must teach the values
necessary for a new era of peace rather than the old ideology that has been
stained by war.
HWPL
Peace Education’s vision is to enlighten students and cultivate talented
individuals with the values and spirit of peace, who can then play a pioneering
role in spreading the culture of peace. This education provides a fundamental
understanding of the basic principles that human beings must observe for peace
to be created. Through the discovery and internalization of these peace values
the inner selves of students and their ability to live together in harmony with
others in their own community, and even the world, is properly nurtured.

In order to successfully
cultivate children and young people as peacemakers,
HWPL Peace Education
first works to erase previously held ideas and values that are corrupt
by directly showing how the world has become evil in the present era, and then
plant the peaceful values needed for the new era of peace in their stead. It
also introduces a new methodology in which the values of peace can be applied
in all environments and real-life situations happening outside the classroom.
The HWPL Peace curriculum has been
developed on the basis of the core values of peace, which include
"Sanctity of Life", "Loyalty and Filial Piety", and
"Coexistence and Sustainability", and demonstrates clearly how these
peace values are applicable on a personal level, as well as within the broader
community. HWPL Peace Education is an innovative education that pioneers the
establishment and propagation of a culture of peace by cultivating talented
individuals with the mindset of peace.
HWPL’s peace education is unprecedented. I sincerely hope it will continue with great vigour, as it seems peace and stability is needed now more than ever in these uncertain times. More than 200 schools worldwide have been designated HWPL Peace Academies, educating today's youth on the importance of peace.
ReplyDeleteMoreover, many heads of state - both existing and former - have publicly declared their support for HWPL's Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW), citing it as the only solution to ceasing all conflict and achieving peace on a global scale. The words of H.E. Viktor Yushchenko, former President of Ukraine, sums up the importance of the DPCW very well: “The DPCW is a perfect and balanced document that can be the basis of solidarity for peacekeeping in all countries of the world. I think all the leaders of the countries should support the DPCW.”
May the words, 'We are One!' ring true in 2021 and into 2022✌️
