Peacejam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The PeaceJam program was launched in February 1996 by co-founders Dawn Engle and Ivan Suvanjieff to provide the Nobel Peace Prize Laureates with a programmatic vehicle to use in working together to teach youth the art of peace.
To date 12 Nobel Peace Laureates, including the Dalai Lama, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Rigoberta Menchú Tum, President Oscar Arias, Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, Mairead Corrigan Maguire, Betty Williams, José Ramos-Horta, Aung San Suu Kyi, Sir Joseph Rotblat (Emeritus), Jody Williams and Shirin Ebadi serve as Members of the PeaceJam Foundation.
On September 15, 2005 ten of the Nobel Laureates launched the PeaceJam Foundations Global Call to Action with the youth of the world as a part of PeaceJam's 10th Anniversary Celebration.
