The National Peace Academy’s National Dialogue Dinners are intended to foster thinking and conversation on critical issues related to peace, justice, community well-being, and change. These dialogues are motivated by the National Peace Academy’s understanding of peace that is found in the Earth Charter: “peace is the wholeness created by right relationships with oneself, other persons, other cultures, other life, Earth, and the larger whole of which all are a part.” 

We hope these dialogues will encourage participants to critically inquire into the possibilities and obstacles of living in “right relationships” with themselves and others that might lead toward new visions and actions for establishing peaceful, just, healthy, and sustainable communities in the United States and around the world.   

A key aspect of these dinners is to collect the important exchange of ideas that your gathering will generate.  We ask that you share with us some of the highlights of your community inquiry that will be gathered with highlights from others into a national report that we will publish on the National Peace Academy website.
