By itself, the word ‘peace’ seems convoluted and unreachable. Sure, the idea of world peace is great, but just like Rome, peace can’t be achieved in a day.

Media Genesis partnered with UNESCO (The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) to create and launch a website – www.ThePowerofPeaceNetwork.com.  The website uses technology as a vehicle for spreading messages of peace, while functioning as a social network to start discussions.

Now we need your help to continue the discussion. We want to hear your thoughts – whether it be about larger issues such as climate change and poverty, or simply what you are doing in your own community to inspire peace and mutual understanding.

The Power of Peace Network has been built as a multi-partner not-for-profit business using television, radio, the internet and cell phone technology worldwide to share locally produced stories in pursuit of peace.

UNESCO will formally launch the PPN website on October 29th at the Power of Peace Global Forum in Bangkok, Thailand. The global forum is dedicated to the Power of Peace Network and its continuing efforts to engage youth and students from university campuses around the world to become leaders in initiating peace.

Please visit www.ThePowerOfPeaceNetwork.com and take five or ten minutes to create a profile, write a few words or upload some photos about peace initiatives that are most important to you.

Also, this website is a Beta and your thoughts are welcomed!  Please share your suggestions by emailing powerofpeace@mediag.com.
