U.S. Association for the University for Peace
an article by Nick Martin

The U.S. Association for the University for Peace (UPEACE/US) is pleased to announce the launch of its new website: www.upeaceus.org. The site offers interactive web 2.0 features like videos, blogs, photos, and even an e-store for special contributions and logo merchandise. Our staff & volunteers built the entire website from scratch without the help of a developer using a content management system called Joomla. Check it out for information on the latest developments in all of our UPEACE/US programs and events as well as updates on UPEACE worldwide activities.

UPEACE/US projects include DCPEACE, an initiative to empower teachers, youth, and families with the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively serve as peacebuilders in their communities, and PeaceRooms, a program that connects classrooms of students from Costa Rica and Washington D.C. through the use of innovative virtual networking technology for the purpose of developing core concepts of global citizenship and peace education.

If you interested in learning more about our work or would like to get involved and provide ideas, relationships or resources, please email Nick Martin at nmartin@upeaceus.org. Finally, please join us later this month for fundraisers with Pizza Hut (April 8th) and California Tortilla (April 29th) in Washington D.C A percentage of sales go to support our peace education programming in the DC elementary schools. More information is on our events page.
