Dear friends of the Peace Education Center,

2005 has come, but not gone...every year we are germinating more and more seeds in our efforts to nurture and advance the field of peace education and a culture of peace around the world. Our significant plantings of 2005 were many, highlighted by a rousing and successful International Institute on Peace Education in Rhodes Greece (hosted by the FAM Network - much thanks and appreciation to Aliki Moschis-Gauget!), an intensive training of educators from the Afghan Institute of Learning here in New York (many thanks to AIL, CHI and Sakena Yacoobi!), and a major national conference on Contemplative Practices and Peace Education (co-hosted by the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society). Of course there is much, much more we could be thankful for in 2005...

We have many hopes and wishes for 2006 and we look forward to doing some gardening of peace education with each and every one of you!

All the best wishes for peace and justice in 2006!

Tony Jenkins and Janet Gerson
