2011 World Youth Peace Summit
Overview

"I have been in education for more than four decades. Never have I seen a project with more potential to do good for our world than the 2011 World Youth Peace Summit."
Chuck Hamblet, Former Headmaster, St. George's School, (RI)

In July 2011, the inaugural World Youth Peace Summit will bring together thousands of alumni from the Institute's Scholar-Athlete Games programs. The event's geographic focus will include every country in the world. The purpose of the Summit is to train these current and former scholar-athletes and scholar-artists as community leaders, to help them develop peace initiatives for their home nations, and to give them the tools to successfully implement their programs. These young leaders will create a grassroots global network of peace advocates and foster a more peaceful world. Held in conjunction with the Institute's 25th anniversary and 2011 World Scholar-Athlete Games, the Summit will mark the culmination of the Institute's quarter-century of work with youth toward building a more peaceful world. The Summit will be held every five years.
