CSR Profile of Pathways To Peace (PTP)

Pathways To Peace (PTP) is a non-profit international Peacebuilding, Educational and Consulting organization. Envisioned in 1945, PTP initiated research and development into integrative decision-making in 1962, began consulting in the early 1970’s, and was incorporated in 1983. PTP has Consultative Status with the United Nations (ECOSOC), (DPI). PTP was granted official UN Peace Messenger status in 1987. Pathways To Peace introduced the idea to create the International Day of Peace to the UN in 1981. Over the years, PTP has nurtured this day from a single event of 400 people in San Francisco to more than 10,000 events involving thousands of organizations and millions of people worldwide. The International Day of Peace is Sept. 21st annually. Pathways To Peace serves as the International Secretariat for the Culture of Peace Initiative, a UN affiliated Peace Messenger Initiative, and is in contact with thousands of organizations worldwide. PTP and many organizations within the Culture of Peace Initiative work with the UN to promote and coordinate activities for the International Day of Peace. The result of a recent initiative by Pathways To Peace is that calendar publishers all over the world are including the International Day of Peace in their calendars beginning in 2009. Because of this action over a billion people will know about the International Day of Peace. This opens the doors for an annual worldwide observance of peace, involving governments, religions, educational institutions, humanitarian and civic organizations, businesses, professionals, the media and people from all walks of life. Our children will grow up observing ‘Peace Day’ and incorporating its meaning into their lives. This will have both global and historic significance.
