Every year the Goi Peace Education Foundation develops educational programs and contests to promote global awareness in young people, emphasizing the leading role they can play in promoting world peace.

Together with UNESCO and the Earthwise Society, the Foundation has organized a series of International Essay contests for young people to take part in. Years 2005-20014 have already been designated by the United Nations as the "Decade of Education for Sustainable Development." Through this, the UN hopes that young people not only benefit from global initiatives, but are also empowered to play a part in them any way they can.

The theme of this years' International Contest Essay is "My project to create positive change in my environment. How can I foster sustainable development in my community?" Young people from around the world are invited to submit innovative ideas and concrete plans to address the social, cultural, environmental or economic problems faced by their community. read more »
