The Peacebright Institute

The Peacebright Institute is a professional body of peacebuilders and educators engaged in peace research and training. As a nonprofit organization, the Institute is dedicated to the cause of societal peace and security.  Its programs are designed to connect diverse communities of peacebuilding professionals, including law enforcement officers, policymakers, legal professionals, and research scholars to foster dialogue and promote sustainable peace.

The institutional focus is on advancing peace as a public good, through a combination of methods that include research, educational advancement of nonviolence, dispute resolution certification; and inclusive community dialogues across racial, religious and gender divides to curb violence, build unity and social harmony. Public engagement through events, such as panel discussions on safety and security concerns is an important part of this Institute’s educational drive to strengthen social cohesion.

Mission

The Peacebright mission is to build sustainable peace.

• The Peacebright Institute serves as a peacebuilding and peacemaking institution across cultural and communal divides, while being firmly grounded in human rights, and legal mechanisms for peaceful resolution of conflicts.
• The peacebuilding mission is inseparable from advancing human security, environmental security, national and international security.

Peacebuilding remains essential, even in thriving cities. It is not just about post-conflict projects. Peacebuilding is integral to prevent crime, conflicts and violence. In this sense, peacebuilding is a civic function and civic investment that supports public safety, economic resilience, and social cohesion.
