CONCEPT OF PEACE OF THE INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR PEACE THROUGH TOURISM
IIPT’s concept of “Peace” from the start has been a positive concept that goes beyond the notion of simply the absence of war.
It embraces seven dimensions:
- Peace and tranquillity within ourselves
- Peace with others, from our neighbours next door to our neighbours in the global village
- Collaboration among nations
- Peace with nature and our common home – planet earth
- Peace with past generations – by which we honour our respective cultures, heritage and achievements of past generations
- Peace with future generations – through sustainable lifestyles and practices and
- Peace with our Creator – by practicing the universal principle of all faiths and humanists: do unto others as we would have them do unto ourselves
Bringing us full circle to “peace and tranquillity within ourselves”
