“The ultimate goal of peace education
is the formation of responsible, committed, and caring citizens
who have integrated the values into everyday life
and acquired the skills to advocate for them."
Dr. Betty Reardon, scholar, writer, activist and founder the Peace Education Center and Peace Education at Teacher’s College, International Instititute for Peace Education.
Seacoast Peace Academy is comprised of a group of committed, concerned local and national peace educators, community activists, young people, and mentors.
We envision a sustainable culture of peaceful relationships.
Our mission is to develop and encourage communities of learning that foster and enhance a sustainable culture of peaceful relationships in the Greater Seacoast Region of New Hampshire and Maine.
The Seacoast Peace Academy is a non-partisan, principle-based community of learning that believes that peace is the wholeness created by right relationships with oneself, other persons, other cultures and the earth. These relationships are inclusive, non-violent, respectful and enduring. They are expressed as the Five Interrelated and Interdependent Spheres of Peace which include the personal, the social, the political, the institutional and the ecological. We are inspired by the National Peace Academy.
