Let Us Hear Your Plan for Peace!
Dr. Jean Lipman-Blumen, a founding member of UPC, has developed “Peace And Prosperity: Make It Happen A Connective Leadership Strategy for Global, Enduring, And Sustainable Peace and Equitable Prosperity,” which you can read the full document on the Connective Leadershi Institute's website.
Universal Peace Connection has simplified the Peace Plan for more people to easily learn some essences of the Plan to start thinking what they can do for peace. Here is the link to the simplifed Peace Plan (a PDF document). We hope this will be an opportunity for you to read the original document and start your conversation with your friends and families on peace.
Please submit your peace plan. We may share your plan with others.
Submit your peace plan from here (Google Form).
