For nearly a decade, Tony Jenkins has relied on GravityKit to support the operations and outreach of two leading international peace education initiatives: the Global Campaign for Peace Education (GCPE) and the International Institute on Peace Education (IIPE).
The Global Campaign for Peace Education (GCPE) is a worldwide movement uniting peace educators, NGOs, universities, schools, and government entities with a shared mission—to promote cultures of peace through peace education.
Members actively contribute within their own communities and capacities, all working toward the campaign’s overarching goals. While grounded in local efforts, GCPE also encourages cross-border collaboration to address global challenges to peace.
To help drive its initiatives forward, the GCPE leverages GravityKit as the backbone for several key projects. These include the Mapping Peace Education research initiative and the Humans of Peace Education advocacy campaign. In addition, GravityKit powers the GCPE’s events calendar and databases of coalition partners and supporters, ensuring seamless organization and engagement on a global scale.
With GravityKit powering their underlying digital infrastructure, the GCPE has been able to deepen their impact and expand their reach, growing to encompass over 380 organizational and institutional coalition members spanning every world region!
