Calling for an End to the Conflict in Ukraine

Today, we woke up stunned by Russia’s violent invasion of Ukraine—escalating a crisis in the region that will affect the entire world.

We must stand together and show resolve in the face of authoritarian-led violence. It is never too late for peace to prevail—for de-escalation to overcome acts of aggression and violence. Join us in our condemnation of this war as we call for non-violent interventions that are still possible to end this terrible conflict that is already impacting the lives of so many.

It is exactly this scenario of violence that fuels our steadfast commitment to our mission of training more leaders in peacebuilding, justice, and social change. The need for professionals of peace has never been greater, and we remain focused on the goal of shaping more peaceful and just societies through teaching, research and engagement with peace leaders from all over the world.

Peace,

Kroc School

The Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice (Kroc IPJ) launched in 2001 with a vision of active peacebuilding. In 2007, the Kroc IPJ became part of the newly established Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies, a global hub for peacebuilding and social innovation. The core of the Kroc IPJ mission is to  co-create learning with peacemakers — learning that is deeply grounded in the lived experience of peacemakers around the world, that is made rigorous by our place within a university ecosystem and that is immediately and practically applied by peacemakers to end cycles of violence.
