UPEACE is the only institution in the United Nations system with a global mandate dedicated exclusively to peace education. Since its establishment in 1980, the University has brought together people from across the globe to study, understand, and address the complex challenges affecting peace, security, and sustainable development.

But what truly makes UPEACE unique is its people.

Our community brings together students, faculty, alumni, practitioners, and changemakers from different countries, cultures, and backgrounds, creating a space where diverse experiences, ideas, and perspectives meet. It is a community built on dialogue, collaboration, and the belief that we can learn as much from one another as we do in the classroom.

Through interdisciplinary learning, hands-on experience, and a shared commitment to peace and sustainable development, members of our community challenge assumptions, build meaningful connections, and turn ideas into action. Their work and contributions extend far beyond our campus, making a difference in communities, institutions, and organizations around the world.

Together, they bring the mission of UPEACE to life, each in their own way.
