• The following is a brief description of the Global Peace Festival. To learn more, visit the official Global Peace Festival website.

The Global Peace Festival is much more than just a festival.

Founded in 2006, it is quickly spreading around the globe uniting people as one family under God.

This revolutionary way of approaching socially relevant issues in partnership with all sectors of society is quickly transforming traditional approaches to problems.

Programs have already developed in many nations including the Philippines, the United Kingdom, Benin, Germany and France. GPF promotes and celebrates people and programs that contribute to reconciliation, mutual respect, harmony and cooperation among the members of the whole human family.

In partnership with faith-based organizations, non-governmental organizations, government agencies, educational institutions, and the private sector, GPF encourages programs that strengthen God-centered marriages and families, facilitate intercultural and interreligious cooperation, and foster a culture of peace and service.

Ongoing programs culminate in the Global Peace Festival that consists of three main components: an international leadership conference, a social impact program, and a public celebration.

• Building a movement involving all sectors of society.
• Strengthening and raising God-centered marriages and families.
• Facilitating intercultural and interreligious cooperation.
• Fostering a global culture of peace and service.
• Advocating and contribute to the achievement of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals.
• Celebrating and demonstrating achievements of ongoing efforts for peace and human development.
• Inspiring innovative approaches to peacebuilding.
• Bringing together the human family on every level of society.
