Once in a lifetime opportunity to achieve inner peace and engage with fellow change-makers in Thailand (February 2017) in order to propose a new paradigm in peacemaking activism.

We live in a time where conquering and keeping sustainable peace appears to be a challenge that is hard to achieve. Constant conflicts occur at different scales in the world, which inevitably obstruct attempts to establish peace processes. Although living in peace is a common and widespread interest, it seems that we are increasingly unable to do so.

But, what prevents us from achieving peace? The great conflicts that threaten our time are often so complex that they escape our understanding and even the ability to see a possible solution to them. However, what would you think if you were told that the origin of all these problems is simpler than it seems and that its solution therefore, also should be easier to achieve? Would you believe the fact that the key to a peaceful life lies within each and every one of us as individuals?

We aim to create a unique opportunity to gather a thriving global community of peace activists and visionaries from different fields, such as entrepreneurs, artists, philanthropists, photographers, filmmakers, bloggers, scholars, teachers, students, civil society and professionals, in order to share their stories, brainstorm ideas, launch initiatives, and share an unforgettable experience of solidarity in unfolding our vision of world peace.

Apply for Peace Revolution Summit 2017 that will bring about a disruptive idea that peacebuilding starts from within and discuss the ways of achieving and sustaining inner peace in order to “Empower minds for a sustainable future”. PRS 2017 is a unique global gathering organized by World Peace Initiative Foundation that  will gather like minded individuals to empower, network and inspire.
