Peace Education Program

The Peace Education Program is an innovative series of video-based workshops that help people discover their inner strength and personal peace.

The program gives participants the opportunity to focus and reflect on their humanity, and their inner resources such as choice, hope and dignity. Rather than describing or defining personal peace, the program empowers individuals to reach their own understanding. Everyone can benefit. The program has proven effective in a variety of settings including community centers, schools, universities, healthcare settings, senior centers, homeless shelters, drug rehabilitation facilities and correctional facilities.

The Prem Rawat Foundation (TPRF) provides access to the program materials and facilitator development free of charge, making the Peace Education Program available to diverse populations in more than 80 countries and 45 languages.

Countries where the Peace Education Program has been implemented

Each workshop features video excerpts of author and peace educator Prem Rawat’s inspiring presentations, speeches and interviews on the following ten themes: Peace, Appreciation, Inner Strength, Self-awareness, Clarity, Understanding, Dignity, Choice, Hope and Contentment.

Facilitated reflection time, participant interactions, workbook activities and reading materials vary the workshops, making them dynamic and enjoyable.

Anyone who participates in the program can apply to become a facilitator of the program. No professional qualifications are required to become a facilitator. TPRF is available to provide support as needed to make the program a success for host organizations and participants alike.

Individuals or organizations can apply to TPRF for a free license to offer the course to interested groups. Learn more about facilitating the program or applying for a free license here.
