This paper is about the early history of the Hague Appeal for Peace Global Campaign for peace education (HAP/GCPE), an ambitious attempt to create a global movement of peace educators to advance and disseminate peace education in their own localities and engage when possible in transnational cooperation. This Campaign has developed outstanding activities, including pilot projects in peace education in four post-conflict regions and has published three useful books between 2000 and 2005. In 2006, this phase as a project of HAP ended when the GCPE was transferred first to Peace Boat and later to other organizations. This is the period described and discussed in this article. Thus, I make a distinction between the HAP Campaign and the Campaign as such. Today, the Campaign is lead from the joint headquarters of the International Institute on Peace Education and the National Peace Academy, a US institution founded in 2009. Its activities and those of hundreds of other peace educators throughout the world are reported in a regular newsletter of the GCPE. While the original advisory group no longer functions as such, a number of its members, in conjunction with other networks, continue to engage in common activities. This paper relates the origins and the philosophy of the Campaign, enumerates and assesses its achievements, and discusses the lessons we can learn from this experience for future efforts in order to develop and disseminate peace education. 1 1.
