Drawing on the creative media and technology expertise available in Canada, it is envisioned that a UPEACE International Centre in Canada would play a key role in UPEACE's Sharing Knowledge for Peace (SKP) initiative to develop and disseminate multimedia learning resources to partner institutions worldwide. This would provide a significant multiplier effect, expanding the impact of our activities far beyond Canada to a global audience.

Planned pilot SKP projects for 2006 include:

• Building Urban Peace: Case Studies of Community Innovations
• Capacity Building for Peace and Development: Role of Diaspora
• Peace Education in an Islamic Context
• Media and UN Peacekeeping Dilemmas
