Rebecca Irby's Company Details
PEAC Institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, with Special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the UN and partner organization of International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons ICAN, 2017 Nobel Peace Prize.PEAC stands for Peace, Education, Art, Communication. Through transformative educational projects, we strive to reach the most marginalized youth and use art and communication activities to help them explore and express. We use an intersectional lens and make sure our solutions are grounded in self-determination and decolonization. We know we must look at climate, peace & security, and inequity as one issue, for none can be solved in a silo. They are all interdependent and require us to work collaboratively, in an intersectional way, to solve them. Through workshops conducted with partners worldwide, PEAC broadens minds, opens hearts, builds self-esteem, and nurtures healthy relationships.PEAC's Mission:We have witnessed the power of art, offering young people exciting ways to find and express themselves and change the hearts and minds of some of the most hardened politicians and diplomats. Art can cut through all the noise in a way a report simply can't. Our mission is to help raise the voices of the most marginalized by providing training, a platform, and structure for their stories.
