Our Mission

The aims and goals of the Schengen Peace Foundation are:

1. To promote peace into major areas of human life, from business activities to the arts

2. To institutionalize peace by placing it onto the agendas of governments and organizations globally

3. To encourage free discussion on peace issues and related matters between all interested parties and ensure the voices of peacemakers are heard in an increasingly noisy world.

The Luxembourg Peace Prize honors the outstanding in the field of peace.

The categories of the Luxembourg Peace Prize and their celebration amplify the aims and goals of the World Peace Forum.

The World Peace Forum strives to be a global platform and venue for responsible debates, research and analysis of all elements of developing a peaceful world, a place where propaganda for peace can be developed, a home for best practice exchange.

What will tomorrow’s challenges be? What forms of political process and decision-making will encourage the population of the world to escalate issues of peace rather than war? Are governments capable of making peace a reality, a real priority? What is the role of civil society? When faced with multi-faceted challenges, solutions will also need to be multi- dimensional. A revolution in technology accompanied by a globalized economy has created a situation in which some activities are more “peace-friendly” than others. Can we buy peace? How do we invest in peace? Is peace an option for everyone? So many questions that open up the debate and require investigation from a perspective of the social, moral and ethical responsibilities of governments, NGOs, businesses and individuals.

The World Peace Forum is an open and inclusive platform, open to all people of good will and their expressions.

To date we are an all-volunteer organization without support from any government or body. We are self-funding by our own donations of time, money, and those that believe in the potential for positive good when connecting peacemakers and amplifying their voice.

Schengen Peace Foundation fosters the belief that a war-free world makes the most sense in terms of individual health, business, and the environment.
