235 graduates from last year’s training became peace educators, who with dedication have conducted more than 100 sessions of Peace Education in 49 NGOs and academic institutions within just six months. In Nigeria, peace education has been delivered in 13 states (out of 37).
HWPL peace educators who led peace education in classes expressed their testimony of discovering positive changes in the students’ values, which allowed them to realize that PEACE IS POSSIBLE. We hope the light of peace would spread even further in Africa through this year’s training.

In 2021, HWPL Southern Seoul & Gyeonggi Branch, together with NGOs, academic institutions, media, etc. in Africa, established a practical initiative for peace, the “Peace Educator Empowerment Training” through a series of fruitful meetings and discussions to achieve sustainable peace in Africa.
235 graduates of the program became peace educators, who have passionately conducted more than 100 sessions of Peace Education in 49 NGOs and academic institutions within 6 months. For Nigeria, peace education is being run in 13 out of 37 states.
Peace Educators constantly emphasize the transformation in students’ lives as they’ve come to value peace. More so, peace educators share that their values in life have changed through the course and are pledging to work endlessly for the peace of Africa.
Upon numerous requests from Peace Educators, “2022 Peace Educator Empowerment Training” will commence for the seeds of peace sown to grow as a tree of peace and for more seeds of peace to be spread all across Africa.
We hope you’d take on this valuable journey of peace with us and be empowered to become a peace educator and a peace messenger, to achieve peace in Africa together as “One.”
If you were unable to complete the training in 2021 due to circumstances, we hope to see you again this year.
Let us work with one heart for peace to be achieved at our time. We are One!
