Peace Cafés are Community Centres for Teaching Peace manifested (appearing) as a Café (or local alternative), accessible to all peoples. It will have all the usual attributes of a Café (food, drinks, atmosphere, accessibility to all), plus it will be a resource centre for peace education of all sorts (including books, videos, arts and crafts, music, posters). It will include related activities such as: conversation cafés, live music and the arts, guest speakers, workshops, a “storefront” access to related peace events and resources, video screening, internet access, community outreach and such other activities as chosen by the local Collaborative, intent on maximizing utilization of the facilities

The Centre will provide a space for local peace-related groups to advertise, meet, network. In addition to our personal development, we have a community development goal:
• To significantly reduce the incidents of violence in our community, and
• To significantly increase the peace and well being at home, in our community and beyond.

It is our mission to facilitate Peace Cafes/Community Centres for Teaching Peace in every community throughout the World. For more information, please visit our web site at http://www.peace.cafe.ca
