Daisy is the symbol of our Conference this year. Why?
Daisies are often seen around the world as a symbol of peace. Through the activities and messages of The Universal Peace Connection, we hope to plant as many seeds of peace as possible in people’s hearts and see the flowers of peace bloom in the world. We posted this picture of the daisy to express our hope.

Message from the Universal Peace Connection
Peace has not come to the people of Ukraine, and today, the international community seems to be heading in the opposite direction of the Functioning Society*, as defined by Professor Peter F. Drucker.
Making society peaceful and functional is a prerequisite for all individuals to fulfill their lives to the fullest. In order to realize this, it is becoming increasingly essential to accept diversity, forgive one another, and connect with each other.
Why do wars happen? How can we prevent them? How can we stop those that are currently happening? How can we achieve and maintain a peaceful and functioning global society?
The second annual Universal Peace Conference will be held at Claremont Graduate University and will focus on education as the key to peace, functioning societies, and equitable prosperity.
Education has a great impact on those who will create our future. From elementary school to graduate school, however, today’s educational programs about peace are not sufficient for the pressing needs of today’s world.
Instead of waiting for someone else to start, it is important to start what we can start here, today.
At the second Universal Peace Conference, examples of pilot peace education programs in the United States and Japan will be presented. We shall also discuss the current situation in Ukraine and how we can effectively realize universal lasting peace.
This event, which is open worldwide to the public, welcomes students, alumni, and faculty members from The Claremont Colleges.
*In a functioning society, people have status as citizens, with freedom and responsibilities, and functions that give an element of personal control and dignity.
