Announcing the First US based CIPE!
"CIPE-VERMONT" *
March 20-21, 2009
Be a part of the first CIPE held in the United States! CIPE-Vermont, coordinated by the Center for Cooperative Principles, seeks to bring
together 40-50 participants to initiate an ongoing learning community. This community will learn with and from each other and explore how education can serve to create a culture of sustainability, well-being and cooperation in Vermont. The CIPE is intended to facilitate transformative and structural change in education and society through inspiring and empowering educators. For more information about CIPE-Vermont click here>>
IIPE & CIPE: Learning Communities for Social Transformation
Peace education is often described as education for social transformation. Social transformation is a process, we believe, best pursued and sustained cooperatively and communally. The IIPE and CIPE embrace community as a central organizing principle for facilitating social change and transformation. The IIPE and CIPE function as “learning communities.” Learning communities are intentionally designed spaces where people become engaged in learning toward a common purpose. More specifically the IIPE and CIPE are non-formal learning communities comprised of peace educators who are collectively engaged into the common inquiry of how peace learning can help prepare individiuals and communities to confront, challenge, resist and ultimately eliminate violence in all its forms and manifestations.
