One Young World is pleased to offer you the opportunity to become an IEP Peace Ambassador thanks to our partnership with The Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP).
The IEP Peace Ambassador Program is an exciting opportunity for the most dedicated One Young World (OYW) Ambassadors to further their peacebuilding knowledge in learning about IEP’s empirical peace research. The partnership between OYW and IEP offer new approaches and opportunities for individuals to build peace in their local communities. The program brings together leading global research, education and community-based programming as well as the opportunity to engage with the OYW networks. Successful applicants will also engage with existing Ambassadors who have been trained by IEP in partnership with Rotary International.
IEP has pioneered the empirical study of peace, most notably through the groundbreaking Global Peace Index (GPI). The GPI has helped shift the world’s conversation about peace away from a mindset that views peace as the absence of violence towards a peace that is a positive, achievable and a tangible measure of human wellbeing and progress. The Index is included in thousands of university courses, is referenced by international media and used by the world’s major multilateral organizations including the United Nations and the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development. News articles about the 2017 Global Peace Index appeared in 75 countries and reached over 1 billion people, while the Institute’s website, www.visionofhumanity.org, gets over 6 million annual page views. Each year, the GPI report is released with events in key cities around the world and is attended by policy-makers, researchers, civil society, and media.
Benefits of the IEP Peace Ambassador Program:
- Exclusive access to three online webinars highlighting IEP’s core research content, including the methodology of the Global Peace Index and Positive Peace framework, and messages to communicate peace research.
- An overview of Rotary’s Global Grants program and resources to help you apply for Rotary grants.

The IEP Peace Ambassador Program will commence the week of March 05, 2018 and will run until the end of the calendar year.
