 Tourism For Peace (TFP) brings both "hosts" and "guests" -- those in residence of a particular country,
culture, or business, and those visiting it -- together to learn about peace by understanding & appreciating diverse cultural
beliefs, art, music, foods, stories, spiritual ceremonies, and by connecting with the natural world (waterfalls, mountains,
oceans, and wildlife).
We use this traveling/tourism theme as a way to see our differences in a new light -- that of learning about my "brother
and sister" from another land or area. You may come to our programs as either a host or guest -- or both! Peacemaking
principles are taught and expressed in fun & enlightening activities, meditations, workshops, classes, performances, and
community service projects. The aim is to unite both hosts and guests through these on-site activities..
The Peace Path is built both as a way of life in the minds of participants and as a physical path within the community
- a permanent reminder of the diverse and interwoven roads to peace.
Our clients are: neighborhood residents, public schools, international and domestic travelers, tourism businesses, government
leaders, educators, students, community organizations, and youth -- supporting peace as the foundation for successful tourism,
and all Life.
TFP is based on the success of Education For Peace (EFP) in Bosnia & Herzegovina in teaching children to be peacemakers.
TFP creates funding for peace programs in primary and secondary schools through a Tourism For Peace Donation Fund from international
travelers.
Children are both our present & our future. Youth are an important part of our TFP programs.
Our TFP consultants also provide community ecotourism planning and development services; and personal or business counseling
services.
Peace is all around us, if we would just choose it. Peace is present when we honor our interconnectedness with others - our
interdependence, not our separateness. Peace is expressed through the principles of unity, justice, presence, cooperation,
partnership, creativity, and trust. - we can learn to embody these each day.
Come experience our Peace Retreat®, build a Peace Path, participate in our Community Service Projects, and bring TFP Workshops,
Activities, Academic Programs, and Peace Ceremonies to your neighborhood, school, group, or organization today!
