About The Peace Foundation

The Peace Foundation (Foundation for Peace Studies Aotearoa/New Zealand) offers innovative and quality programmes, services and resources that are used in many schools, homes and communities - both in New Zealand and overseas. It helps to establish and maintain peaceful and non-violent relationships by teaching skills that encourage better communication, co-operation and non-violent conflict resolution.

The Peace Foundation arranges public events such as the annual Media Peace Awards, which recognise those who are actively contributing towards reducing violence in our society.

The Peace Foundation draws on the knowledge, skills and energy of a team of highly qualified and experienced individuals who are committed to meeting the aims of the organisation - a number of whom are acknowledged both nationally and internationally for the role they have played and are playing in creating a more peaceful world.

The Peace Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation and relies on public support for its work. It has been a membership organisation since it was established in 1975.
