2026 Peace Practice Alliance Application

The Peace Practice Alliance is a peace leadership education and training program. The program is open to individuals with interest and/or experience in peacebuilding, community building, and social change on a local and global scale. An international cohort will journey together through an intensive virtual learning and community-building experience, exploring and developing peace leadership theories and practices.

The program guides participants through the integral peace leadership model and how to apply it in our work and lives. This includes personal peace, interpersonal peace, community peace, and global peace practice. Following a model of inform, inspire, and transform, participants will have opportunities in each module to gain knowledge and skills, actively engage and apply learnings in their own lives, and deeply reflect. Materials will be delivered through an online learning platform with readings, discussions, and assigned activities, as well as virtual cohort meetings and facilitated workshops.

The 2026 program will take place from August through December 2026, beginning with a 2-hour virtual onboarding call on Wednesday, July 29. Live cohort meetings will be held on the first and third Wednesdays of each month at 2:00 PM UTC and will last for 90 minutes.
