CALL FOR APPLICATION: Intergenerational Peace Education Leaders Fellowship Program
The Intergenerational Peace Education Leaders Fellowship Program is a 6-month leadership journey designed for school and organizational leaders who are ready to take peace education beyond individual practice and embed it into systems, policies, and everyday culture.
This fellowship is not just a training—it is a commitment to institutionalizing peace. It brings together principals, school heads, founders, executive directors, program heads, and leaders in equivalent roles who hold influence over programs, policies, and organizational practices. Through the fellowship, leaders strengthen peacebuilding networks, enhance their capacity for conflict transformation, and contribute to a growing Community of Peace Education Practice.
Implemented by Teach Peace Build Peace Movement (TPBPM) in partnership with the Rotary Club of Makati San Lorenzo through the Rotary Global Grant, the fellowship supports peacebuilding and conflict prevention by connecting leaders and equipping school and community members with peace education, peace leadership, and conflict prevention and resolution skills.
