For thirty years, IIPE has brought together educators, professional workers and activists in the field of peaceeducation,gathered from around the world to exchange experiences and learn with and from each other in an intensive short-term learning community that embodies the practices and principles of critical, participatory peace pedagogy. IIPE 2012 participants, many whom will be drawn from Japan and S.E. Asia, will join with representatives from all other world regions. This residential learning exchange will weave together experiential and theoretical contributions of participants to illuminate diverse views, explore educational applications, and assess possibilities for practical steps toward a less violent and more just world security system.

Application Information
Apply today via the IIPE website: www.i-i-p-e.org/apply.html.
Applicants can also request and submit a hard copy of the application. Applications must be submitted by April 10, 2012 for full consideration.
To assure that notices of acceptance are sent to all applicants in a timely fashion we strongly encourage applicants to apply early, preferably by April 1. Notices of acceptances will be sent in late April.
The IIPE attempts to practice the principles of peace education by engaging all participants in our short-term learning community in an experience of participatory learning in which all can learn from each other. Therefore the IIPE is limited to 65 total participants. Having more than 65 participants diminishes the effectiveness of this aspect of the institute. The IIPE requires full-time participation from all participants. You must be able to participate in the full period of the IIPE (August 11-19) for your application to be considered.
Acceptance for participation in the IIPE is based upon applicant’s potential contribution to the goal of developing and strengthening peace education in the host region and toward a more global perspective on peace education among all.
Participation FeesParticipation fees are still being calculated. They are estimated to be between $500-750 USD. Participation fees cover all onsite costs including food, housing (double occupancy), local transportation and excursions. Single rooms are available at an additional cost. We are currently seeking other sources of funding and support that may later reduce the participation fees. Updated fees will be posted on the IIPE website. |
ScholarshipThe institute operates on a self-sustaining basis in which all participants, including the organizers and presenters pay their own travel and participation fees or find their own funding. The IIPE attempts each year to raise a small scholarship fund. If you think you will be in need of scholarship please review the scholarship guidelines on the IIPE website and complete the additional scholarship application when applying. We also hope you might consider a contribution to the IIPE to fund scholarships. Your generosity will help ensure that those potential participants in greatest need of training and solidarity will be able to attend the institute. Click here to donate. |
