Peace Clarified Through Education, To Teach Through 12 

▎ Washington, D.C., the City Planting Seeds of World Peace, and HWPL’s Peace Education

Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States and a global hub of politics and economy, holds immense international influence. As a city densely populated with international organizations and embassies, it is not only a political center but also a prominent stage for global peace and cooperation. Amid this, the global private peace NGO Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL) has drawn attention by planting seeds of peace through its peace education and seminars in Washington, D.C.

▎ HWPL’s Peace Education: Spreading Hope Worldwide

HWPL has been expanding its peace education efforts through its Washington, D.C. branch, reaching both local and international audiences. In particular, HWPL has collaborated with teachers from Caribbean nations, including the Bahamas, the Dominican Republic, Antigua and Barbuda, and Haiti, to implement peace education, which has positively impacted both teachers and students.

Josianne Floreus, a teacher at RM Bailey Senior High School in the Bahamas, praised HWPL’s peace teacher training, saying, "The various aspects of peace have become clearer." She highlighted HWPL’s approach of turning abstract concepts into practical education. Her colleague, Renee Bethel, also emphasized that HWPL’s education helps students learn to live harmoniously as children of God, significantly contributing to character development.

▎ Transformations in Students Learning Peace

HWPL’s peace education has had a profound impact on students as well. Shakina, a student at McPherson Primary School in the Bahamas, shared how the training taught her ways to live harmoniously and helped her discover the value of peace in herself and her surroundings. She mentioned experiencing harmony and peace through collective dances and worship, realizing the importance of HWPL’s beautiful approach to life.

▎ Collaborators for Peace: Partnering with HWPL

In Washington, D.C., HWPL is joined by numerous collaborators committed to the mission of peace. Human rights activists like Sirley Avila DeLeon from Cuba, Troy Clarke from the Bahama, and Mitsan Burrows initiative are working alongside HWPL to promote peace education and awareness.

Troy Clarke emphasized the importance of incorporating conflict resolution and human rights education into school curriculums, stating, “Teaching students how to handle conflicts and respect human rights from elementary to high school is crucial for building a more peaceful and safe society.”

▎ HWPL and Washington, D.C.: A Bridge for Peace

HWPL’s peace initiatives go beyond education. In 2021, HWPL Chairman Man Hee Lee visited Washington, D.C., and shared insights on the Mindanao Peace Agreement in the Philippines, garnering support from local leaders. Inspired by Chairman Lee’s efforts, many pledged to join HWPL in advancing peace globally.

▎ Washington, D.C.: A Global Center for Peace

Washington, D.C. is not just a hub for politics and economics but also a vital platform for global peace initiatives. As a city hosting international organizations, embassies, and various institutions, it plays a crucial role in addressing global challenges. HWPL’s peace education and activities further enhance the city’s value and influence.

We look forward to HWPL’s peace education spreading worldwide, fostering harmonious living and global peace. May the efforts of HWPL and Washington, D.C. in planting seeds of peace continue to gain the attention and support they deserve.
