Synthesis of humanity\u2019s highest Soul expression and evolutionary development. Building life-enhancing cultures of Peace for succeeding generations. Arts, media, communications, and cultural exchanges. Unity in Diversity.<\/p>\n<p>PEACE THROUGH CULTURE is the eighth, synthesizing segment of the Peace Wheel. Culture is integrated into all the other pathways. A great Peacebuilder, artist, and author, Nicholas Roerich defined culture as the cultivation of the creative potential in all people. He said, \u201cPositive creativeness is the fundamental quality of the human spirit. Let us welcome all those who, surmounting personal difficulties&#8230; propel their spirits to the task of Peacebuilding, thus ensuring a radiant future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Culture, broadly defined, is a system of language, customs, rituals, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a nation, people, or other social group. Preserving culture is exceedingly important as historical and current practices have meant the assimilation and obliteration of cultures around our planet, creating a cultural void with affects all of us. \u201cPeace\u201d that ignores the reality of historic and current violence and oppression of cultures and people around our world, is no Peace at all. Peace can only be achieved through authentic justice, equity, and an honoring of differences among all people. Building a \u201cCulture of Peace\u201d recognizes and Peacebuilding needs to be inclusive of all diverse cultures and peoples around our world.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Culture of Peace Initiative (CPI)<\/em> is a UN-designated \u201cPeace Messenger Initiative\u201d with participants in all the world\u2019s regions. The <em>Culture of Peace Initiative\u00a0(CPI)<\/em>\u00a0is a\u00a0cooperative\u00a0local-global Peacebuilding Initiative, uniting the strengths of organizations,\u00a0networks, projects and people to realize a\u00a0Culture of\u00a0Peace for\u00a0the Common Good.\u00a0The\u00a0<em>CPI<\/em>\u00a0also serves as a vehicle for bringing to light many previously unseen and unheard Peacebuilders, working along diverse paths, who are embodying the emerging\u00a0Culture of\u00a0Peace\u00a0within Humanity.\u00a0 The annual highlight of the\u00a0<em>Culture of Peace Initiative\u00a0<\/em>is the\u00a0International Day of Peace (Peace Day), which provides an opportunity for individuals, organizations, and nations to work together, on a shared date, to create practical acts of\u00a0Peace. The goal of <em>CPI<\/em> is to make every day Peace Day.<\/p>\n<p>The United Nations is dedicated to promoting social and economic development and building international Peace. The preamble to the UN Charter (from whose opening lines the name for the \u201cWE THE PEOPLES\u201d INITIATIVE was taken) states: \u201cWe the peoples of the United Nations, determined to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and to reaffirm faith in the fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom, And for these ends, to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbors, and to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security, and to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest, and to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples, Have resolved to combine our efforts to accomplish these aims.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>UNESCO (UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) Director-General Federico Mayor stated: \u201cIt is the cohesion and integration of our societies that must be enhanced&#8230;We need to build not only geographical but spiritual bridges between people and strengthen the intellectual, cultural and communication linkages between our societies. UNESCO stands ready to participate in the effort to promote social integration and create a culture of peace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED LINKS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.internationaldayofpeace.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.internationaldayofpeace.org<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0International Day of Peace<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/ga\/62\/plenary\/peaceculture\/bkg.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/ga\/62\/plenary\/peaceculture\/bkg.shtml<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0UN Decade for a Culture of Peace<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unesco.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.unesco.org<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.peacecorps.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.peacecorps.gov<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Peace Corps<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/culture-of-peace.info\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/culture-of-peace.info\/<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0David Adams, Culture of Peace\u00a0<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peacethruculture.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.peacethruculture.org\/<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Peace thru Culture<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class = \"tatsu-column-bg-image-wrap\"><div class = \"tatsu-column-bg-image\" ><\/div><\/div><\/div><style>.tatsu-row > .tatsu-Sy3K49SeE.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}.tatsu-Sy3K49SeE.tatsu-column > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-column-overlay{mix-blend-mode: none;}.tatsu-Sy3K49SeE > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-top-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-Sy3K49SeE > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-bottom-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-Sy3K49SeE > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-left-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-Sy3K49SeE > .tatsu-column-inner > .tatsu-right-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-Sy3K49SeE.tatsu-column{transform: translate3d(0px,0px, 0);}@media only screen and (max-width:1377px) {.tatsu-row > .tatsu-Sy3K49SeE.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}}@media only screen and (min-width:768px) and (max-width: 1024px) {.tatsu-row > .tatsu-Sy3K49SeE.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}}@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {.tatsu-row > .tatsu-Sy3K49SeE.tatsu-column{width: 100%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tatsu-section-background-wrap\"><div class = \"tatsu-section-background\" ><\/div><\/div><style>.tatsu-rJWnKNcBxV .tatsu-section-pad{padding: 0px 0px 90px 0px;}.tatsu-rJWnKNcBxV > .tatsu-bottom-divider{z-index: 9999;}.tatsu-rJWnKNcBxV > .tatsu-top-divider{z-index: 9999;}<\/style><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pathwaystopeace.org\/peace-wheel\/culture\/\" class=\"more-link style2-button\">Read More<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":994,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-sidebar.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1040","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
