Institute for Global Education (Grand Rapids, MI) Details
Our mission IGE supports the non-violent resolution of conflicts and the pursuit of justice as the best way to achieve true, lasting peace through conscientious individual and group education and action. We call for accountability of officials in our own and other countries when their actions work against peace. We are a meeting place for community groups that share our concerns about human rights and education for multicultural and religious awareness. The Institute for Global Education was established in 1980. Throughout our many years of serving the local and global community, we have addressed the pressing – and at times controversial – social issues of the day. Never afraid to ask questions, seek deeper understanding or spark community conversation, our work has focused on: Environmental awareness Global economics Media literacy Sexism Racism Militarism Classism In every issue we focus on, we promote peaceful conflict resolution through training, workshops with youth and adults, and ongoing community discussion.
