The Culture of Peace Initiative (CPI) is a co-operative Peacebuilding Initiative to unite the strengths of existing organizations, projects and peoples in building a Culture of Peace for future generations. CPI serves as a vehicle for bringing to light the previously unseen and unheard Peacebuilders working towards Peace along diverse pathways.

Established in 1983, CPI enables global Peacebuilders to instantly network, share inspiration and collaborate on projects and events. Working in partnership with the United Nations, non-governmental organizations, local communities, grassroots organizers, and individuals, CPI unites our voices into a powerful worldwide movement for peace.

Your CPI Web site now offers more ways to connect with other Peacebuilders around the world. Read our new Quick Guide to CPI, sign up below, and get started today!
