Why Peace Certification Matters

-

Peace Certification by the Mattie J.T. Stepanek Foundation makes a statement about your choices as an educator, a politician, a community leader, a family member, a school staff member, a healthcare or childcare provider, a member of the clergy, a business organization —  as any person or group who wants to be an agent of lasting and good change for our world. Peace Certification helps you move from “attitude to action” in peace for one’s self, for groups, and for diverse communities of all sizes.

There are three components to Peace Certification. They are rooted in Mattie’s “Three Choices for Peace” concept:

REFLECT: You choose to become a Peace Seeker.  We share materials with you that support you in exploring and reflecting on Mattie’s message of Heartsongs, hope, peace, choice, and other “Pathways to Peace” elements. 

RESPOND: You choose to become a Peace Maker. You shape that message and respond to it through your words and choices, as you create and carry out your own Peace Plan (a Lesson,  Activity, Attitude, and/or Action Plan). 

 

REACH OUT: You choose to become a Peace Bringer. Together, we show others your commitment to peace through our Peace Certification page with your Lesson, Activity, Attitude, or Action Peace Plan, and your ‘What Next?’ statement.
