Pathways To Peace (PTP) is an international PeaceBuilding, Educational and Consulting organization. "Peace", as it is defined by Pathways To Peace, is both an innate state of being and a dynamic, evolutionary process. Peace begins with ourselves, living in harmony with one another, the Earth and all Circles of Life. PTP's operating principle-in-action is:

Acting in concert, we do make a difference in the quality of our lives, our institutions, our environment and our planetary future.
Through cooperation, we manifest the essential spirit that unites us amidst our diverse ways.

The mission of Pathways To Peace is threefold:

• to make Peace a practical reality through local and global projects;
• to expand communication and build cooperation among existing organizations;
• to strengthen the United Nations by increasing citizens' participation in its programs.

The mission of Pathways To Peace is accomplished through its projects and consulting services. Current projects which demonstrate the practical aspects of Peace include: "Culture of Peace" Initiative (formerly "We the Peoples" Initiative), Institute for PeaceBuilding, Events with Peace Leaders, and PACEM - Pathways Consulting, Educating & Mentoring Programme.
