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.” You can read the full document on the Connective Leadership Institute's website.
Universal Peace Connection has simplified the Peace Plan in order for more people to easily understand the main ideas. Please start thinking about what you 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).
