Peace Islands Institute Pennsylvania began its journey in 2003 as part of a larger initiative promoting dialogue and understanding. Over time, all dialogue activities were rebranded under the Peace Islands banner. As a branch, we have continued this mission and established in 2020 as Peace Islands Institute PA, now operating as a local nonprofit dedicated to serving our community.
In a diverse world, where even the farthest point is a click away, every culture, race, religion, tradition, and nation become neighbors. We have to live and interact together on this “global island” we call Earth. Peace Islands Institute (PII) serves to act as the soil for fruitful dialogue, peace, and civil service, just as the soil on this “global island” gives forth flowers of different colors, scents and shapes. PII envisions a world becoming an island of peace in the ocean of our universe, a community in which people from all walks of life interact with each other and cooperate to serve their communities, thereby strengthening civil society and promoting the development of human values.
• Build relationships among diverse cultures and traditions.
• Unite different points of view on common issues
• Provide educational platforms for social challenges.
• Encourage people to actively engage in solving social and global problems of humanity.
• Provide an atmosphere of peace and understanding for all people, regardless of race and cultural tradition.
Peace Islands Institute Pennsylvania (PIIPA) is committed to fostering strong, collaborative relationships across a multitude of sectors within our community. Recognizing that true societal growth and peacebuilding can only be achieved through unity and shared efforts, one of our primary goals is to establish and nurture partnerships with schools, universities, justice units, nonprofit organizations, governmental agencies, community organizations, business associations, media outlets, faith-based organizations, and law enforcement agencies. These entities serve as the backbone of our society, and by forging connections, we aim to promote mutual understanding, increase cultural competency, and work together toward our shared objective of creating an equitable, inclusive, and peaceful community. Our joint endeavors are focused not only on addressing current societal issues but also on preemptively building resilience against future challenges. By aligning our resources and expertise, we believe we can cultivate an environment where every member feels valued, respected, and empowered.
