Ubuntu. I am because we are. Leadership for peace

The Leadership for PEACE community is comprised of global members: practitioners, NGO’s and corporate leadership, government and public sector, educators and researchers and those who are committed to sustainable Peace building.

Since “PEACE is not a spectators sport,” in the spirit of “UBUNTU, I am because WE are,” come join us.

Our monthly UBUNTU Conversations held the third Thursday of every month at 11am (EDT/EST), are where we invite guest speakers from our community and outside to come and share their global perspective, insight, work, and knowledge with the community to co-create and promote sustainable PEACE Leadership.

PEACE Chat — Join us for a weekly space for members to come by as you can, participate in the conversation, in a safe space share your thoughts and concerns and ideas as we discuss Peace Leadership in this challenging global moment.

Volunteering — Join us in-person or virtually as our community also affords members the opportunity to volunteer and get involved.

Building Community — Join our new and exciting PEACE project. L4P wants to engage and grow our Young Voices. If you are an educator or work with young voices, we welcome your participation in fostering with us the next generation of PEACE LEADERS.
