BUILDING A PEACEFUL WORLD 11/20/07

Tourism is the largest industry in the world today and the one with the greatest potential to bind together the people in behalf of a successfully shared world.

Peaceful World’s mission is to identify a segment of these travelers who are motivated to serve the cause of peace in the world. With these Peaceful World friends, we are redefining what travel can optimally accomplish.

As they move about like bees from plant to plant, from culture to culture, they also identify and support the places and people who are their cultural contact points in the world.

Peaceful World’s job is to harness these already traveling friends to serve as grass roots peace producers. It is they who start and activate World Conversations wherever they travel and live. They are the relationship builders of the world.

ABOUT US
Peaceful World is the sponsoring non-profit foundation which optimizes travel and conversation for peace building.

World Conversations are a project of Peaceful World and are the form which brings strangers together in demonstration of what peace is like. World Conversations nurture our ability for honest understandings of other peoples’ points of view and of common needs and solutions.

The Red Vic is the headquarters location of Peaceful World. It is a welcoming gathering place in San Francisco, specializing in b&b hospitality and food for body and spirit, and offering itself for imitation and partnership throughout the world.

RED VIC PEACEFUL WORLD CENTER
1665 Haight St, San Francisco, CA 94117
