CPSC Vision

To be a world leader in accreditation of Peace Professionals -- professionals with a new kind of courage, the courage to wage peace.

CPSC is professionalizing peace work. Like doctors, lawyers, engineers, soldiers, environmentalists, etc., it is time for peace workers to establish and apply standards to the practice of their skills and the application of their expertise. We must:

apply appropriate values and principles critical to this field of practice,
build credibility for peace practitioners with the wider public and decision makers in order to effectively influence national and international policy and action, and
distinguish between those who have taken a few weeks of peace related training and those who have years of related training, experience and evidence of results in the field.
