[HWPL] HWPL's Peace Educator Training Graduation Ceremony in Pakistan!

Chairman ManHee Lee is the head representative of the global peace organization HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light), which is striving for the enactment and implementation of the international peace law 'Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW)'. The  DPCW is a legal instrument comprised of 10 articles and 38 clauses that can end wars and hostilities throughout the world. HWPL is also spreading a culture of peace and implementing peace education.

Chairman ManHee Lee experienced the cruelty and tragedy of war as a veteran of the Korean War. This is one of the reasons why he founded a global peace campaign as the head of HWPL. He has traveled the globe more than 35 times to meet and persuade politicians, legal experts, journalists, professors, peace activists, civil organization leaders, heads of tribes and others to unite them for the work of peace. The significant fruits borne out of his hard work are the World Alliance of Religions' Peace (WARP) Summit and HWPL Peace Committee. The DPCW was drafted and finalised by the HWPL Peace Committee.

How, you may wonder, do I know this? About 10 years ago, when I had just been discharged from military service, I came to know HWPL and Chairman ManHee Lee while researching the topic of civil conflicts to satisfy my curiosity in ongoing global issues. At that time, the island of Mindanao in the Philippines was suffering from a major civil conflict that lasted more than 40 years, and Chairman ManHee Lee and HWPL resolved this conflict through non-violent means.

Chairman Lee brought an end to the conflict in Mindanao by holding a peace talk between the warring Catholic and Islamic groups. Before the talk, HWPL and Chairman ManHee Lee held a Peace Walk to spread the culture of peace in Mindanao with the many locals who had gathered out of a desire for peace.

Chairman ManHee Lee's pressing appeal today is that humanity unites for sustainable peace in order to pass on the legacy of peace to future generations worldwide. He doesn't just talk peace, but has worked tirelessly for it through practical peace campaigns for over a decade.

I decided to become a supporter of HWPL and Chairman ManHee Lee's peace initiatives because I also desire a world of peace for all posterity.

Today I'd like to introduce an article regarding HWPL's Millenium Education of Pakistan Peace Educator Training Graduation Ceremony:)

Millennium Education of Pakistan Peace Educator Training Graduation Ceremony

On December 12, 2024, a peace educator training graduation ceremony with Millennium Education was held in Pakistan. About 40 teachers who participated in this event shared their impressions and thoughts on the curriculum and participated in various activities to promote and spread a culture of peace.

Teachers from seven campuses affiliated with Millennium Education attended the event, which included presentations and discussions on how to effectively teach peace education to students.

Ms. Sara Faisal, a Millennium Education Teacher, shared her vision for peace education:

“My future peace education plans focus on helping students develop the skills and mindsets needed to promote understanding, cooperation, and conflict resolution in their personal lives and communities. I will also encourage students to understand and appreciate the perspectives of others in order to build empathy and understanding. Through storytelling, role-playing, and group discussions, they will explore different perspectives and learn methods to approach disagreements with empathy.”

Ms. Afsheen Navid, a teacher at Millennium Education, shared her thoughts:

“We will reinforce the importance of empathy and unity through group activities such as peace-themed games, banner making, and community service projects. The goal is to instill in our students the values of understanding, tolerance, and non-violence. I firmly believe that peace education is essential to building a compassionate generation, and by introducing these concepts early on, we can help students become advocates for peace in their communities and beyond.”

Mr. Muhammad Waqas Khan, a teacher at Millennium Education, explained the peace education activities, saying, “We will be doing peace-based activities where students will learn valuable lessons about peace and how to be kind and polite to their peers and others.”

The teachers’ reflections were inspiring and encouraging for all the teachers working as peace educators. The teachers who attended reflected on their respective roles and missions, and pledged to fulfill their responsibilities as peace teachers in each country. In this way, everyone promised solidarity and dedication with one heart, and the closing ceremony ended successfully.
