IWPG Busan Eastern Branch Holds Women’s Peace Education... Inspiring Women to Become Agents of Peace
The 7th Online Women’s Peace Education Program, hosted by the International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG) Busan Eastern Branch, recently concluded its two-week journey. Held from October 2nd to 12th under the slogan “The First Teacher in Our Lives is You, Women and Mothers,” the program aimed to help participants recognize their role as agents of peace. Throughout the course, women developed both awareness and teaching skills to spread a culture of peace.
The eight-session program awarded participants with an official IWPG Peace Lecturer Certificate upon completion. It emphasized that peace begins with self-respect and love — when these are absent, conflict arises, but when they are present, peace can grow. Participants were reminded that peace is cultivated first within oneself, then naturally spreads to others.
Participant Ha Mi-yeon shared, “I realized that peace is not something grand, but something that starts from my small actions and attitude. I will first change myself and practice respect and love. I hope that small seed of peace spreads like a dandelion fluff to those around me.”
According to IWPG, from 2018 to 2025, 6,532 women from 95 countries participated in the Women’s Peace Education program. Among them, 4,099 have completed the course, and 411 certified peace lecturers are now sharing the value of peace across the globe. This demonstrates how women are taking an active role in teaching and spreading peace worldwide.
Jang Myeong-ok, Director of the IWPG Busan Eastern Branch, said, “This education was not just about sharing knowledge — it was a process that encouraged participants to think and act on their own. I hope the participants realize that women can be both the foundation and the bridge of peace.”
Meanwhile, the International Women’s Peace Group (IWPG) is a UN-registered international NGO under ECOSOC and DGC. With 115 branches in 122 countries and over 800 partner organizations, IWPG promotes peace education, cultural exchange, and the legislation of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW). Its vision is to achieve sustainable world peace by empowering women to plant seeds of peace across the globe.
