A think-and-do tank for peace
Peace is learned. We teach it for life.
Global Peace Institute, London (GPIL) is an independent peace and policy institute. To build a harmonious world, we raise a generation of peacemakers. To prevent conflict and foster compassion, we mentor children from the age of six to young adults, and, work with their mentors and teachers. To promote moderation, toleration and coexistence, we enhance specialist understanding and raise public awareness. Humanity, first!

Golden Wing of PeaceWhat makes us different
Research and practice, side by side. Founded in 2016 and based in London.
We believe conflict is best prevented long before it begins. So we do two things together: we study what builds peace, and we teach it, in classrooms, communities and councils, to every generation.
