We envision a world in which everyone, everywhere has the right to a dignified life, a world in which human rights are respected and all persons are free to develop themselves without distinction of origin, religion, political opinion, race, gender or sexual orientation.
CPC intends to bring people and organisations together from all levels of society, by providing them a platform, the tools, resources, and opportunities, to ensure everyone can help to make a positive difference for human rights.
We focus on pragmatic and solutions-based approaches to promoting and protecting the respect for human rights, for everyone, everywhere. We believe in innovation, and through our projects and initiatives, we create new ways to effectively address challenges, incite positive change, ensure long term sustainability and create a real impact on human rights.

Teaching peace to youth is about more than just avoiding conflict; it's about empowering them to become active peacemakers in their daily lives. It begins by helping young people understand that peace starts with themselves—with the ability to manage their emotions, practice empathy, and solve problems through communication instead of violence.
Our initiatives include: Conflict Resolution Workshop, Community Dialogue Sessions, Peace Education Programs, Cultural Exchange Programs, Leadership Training Through these programs, we aim to build a foundation of mutual respect and collaboration, creating environments where peace and harmony can thrive
