The Education for Peace Committee is a vital part of the Mahatma Gandhi Canadian Foundation for World Peace, dedicated to advancing a culture of peace through education. Guided by the principles of nonviolence and social justice this committee works to inspire and support educators, youth, and community members in building a more peaceful and equitable world.

Through professional learning opportunities for teachers, the committee helps educators integrate peace education into classrooms across disciplines and grade levels. It also supports community-based initiatives that promote peace, dialogue, and understanding, fostering partnerships that extend the reach of this important work.

A key focus of the committee is empowering youth. By creating opportunities for young people to engage in social justice initiatives and peace-building efforts in their communities, the Education for Peace Committee nurtures the next generation of change-makers.

Rooted in Gandhi’s vision of nonviolence and active citizenship, the committee’s work strengthens the collective effort to build a more just and peaceful society—one classroom, one conversation, and one community at a time.
