What is the Main Objective?
Our goal at this conference is to transform the conference into a dynamic forum for learning, sharing, and sparking conversations on how we, as educators, can effectively lead our children to become “Ambassadors for Peace”.
What defines a child as an “Ambassador for Peace”? Such a child naturally embodies:
-
Problem-solving abilities and skills in conflict resolution.
-
The capacity for non-violent communication.
-
Mutual respect and empathy towards others.
-
Self-awareness and a strong sense of responsibility.
-
Self-help skills that extend to assisting others.
Who should participate?
Early childhood educators, practitioners, and professionals working with children, including preschool teachers, heads of departments, policymakers, university faculty, and researchers.

We welcome submissions of original research papers, articles, case studies, and abstracts that resonates with the conference theme and address topics including, but not limited to:
-
Practical strategies for integrating peace education into early childhood curriculum
-

-
Empowering children as agents of positive change and peacemakers in their communities
-

Contributors will be invited to speak at the conference and to use the conference as a platform to share their knowledge, insights, strategies, research, and/or experiences and be instrumental in shaping a global movement towards integrating peace as a foundational element in education.
Practical
"Action Plans"
This year, we're broadening our call for participation to include not just the submission of scholarly papers but also the development of "Action Plans" by our very own conference participants.
We are inviting preschool teachers and professionals who work with children to participate in the creation of an “Action Plan” with their classroom children, based on the conference theme.
The "Action Plan" can be outlined as follows:
-
A learning activity spanning 3 to 6 months, tailored to be age-appropriate for the children involved and reflective of the conference's theme.
-
Comprehensive documentation of the learning activity's processes and progress, capturing all phases including planning, implementation, observation, assessment, and any necessary adjustments to the plans.
-
Compilation of these documentations into a video or other portfolio formats to be presented to the conference's judging panel.
After evaluation, the top 6 “Action Plans” will be shared and presented at the conference.
Contributors of the selected "Action Plans" will be invited to share their projects at the conference, and stand to win attractive awards and prizes.
Why Participate?
Your participation offers an unparalleled opportunity to spotlight your work at an international platform, inspiring a wide audience of educators, professionals, and practitioners. Beyond sharing your research and strategies, it's an opportunity to influence the next generation of educators and, more importantly, the children who represent our hope for a peaceful world.
