May peace be with you, and may God’s mercy and blessings be upon you.
It is a great honor and joy for me to stand before you today as a representative of the graduates of the “Learning for Peace” program.
I am truly honored to share how profoundly this program has impacted both our personal lives and our professional journeys.
First, this training has been a journey of inner discovery. We learned to see our differences not as barriers, but as bridges toward deeper understanding. Through interactive sessions and workshops, we came to realize that peace is not merely the absence of conflict, but an ongoing process grounded in listening, critical thinking, and empathy for others.
Second, one of the most valuable outcomes of this program has been the practical tools we gained. We learned how to manage conflicts through constructive dialogue and how to design community initiatives that promote the values of tolerance and justice.
These lessons were not just theoretical. Through small group projects, we had the opportunity to apply what we learned, gaining confidence that we can create meaningful change at every level—within our families, neighborhoods, workplaces, nations, and ultimately, the world.
Third, this training helped us understand the vital role of education in building a safer and more sustainable future. We realized that each of us can serve as an ambassador of peace in our homes, workplaces, and communities. Therefore, I commit to continuing to share this message and to organizing similar workshops so that more people can contribute to fostering a culture of peace.
Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who made this program possible. My deepest thanks go to Instructor Nagla for her unwavering support and guidance, and to my fellow graduates who made this experience both enriching and meaningful. We will carry these values in our hearts and take steady steps forward to bring them to life.
Thank you. I look forward to meeting you again at future gatherings where we continue to build peace together.
My heartfelt appreciation to IWPG… and thank you in peace.
May peace be with you, and may God’s mercy and blessings be upon you.

Through the PLTE course, I felt myself truly changing.
PLTE was an incredibly impactful and inspiring program far beyond what I imagined.
It provided me with valuable knowledge and skills, and gave me the confidence to spread the message of peace across borders.
After completing the program, I felt a strong calling to become an ambassador of harmony someone who helps foster mutual understanding among communities and embraces differences.

I was given the opportunity to take part in the Peace Lecturer Training Education for women and there is something truly special about this program.
It plants peace in our hearts and empowers us to share that peace with our families and the entire world. And I believe this is absolutely possible.
We desire peace in this world. And through PLTE, we can build a peaceful world to pass on to the next generation.
For this reason, I am deeply grateful for this education, which has taught me so much and inspired me to be part of this meaningful journey.

Participating in the Peace Lecturer Training Education for women has been a true blessing for me.
Through this course, I experienced real change especially in my family relationships.
I now feel ready to begin my journey as one who brings peace to others.
I plan to start by giving peace lectures at our association’s workshops and by educating people through various social media platforms.
I am fully prepared to share the message of peace and inspire action in my community and beyond.

Anju Chaplot, India
Through this education, I realized that planting the seeds of peace is not only a task for countries in conflict or under Cold War tensions it must be a top priority for every nation in the world.
Although I had previously learned about the dangers of the Cold War through books, films, and documentaries, this program allowed me to understand it on a much deeper and more personal level.

Thamashi Naboda, Sri Lanka
The content of this education is especially important for countries like Sri Lanka.
Many women in Sri Lanka face significant challenges both within their families and in society.
With the knowledge we have gained, we can support them and create a positive impact that extends throughout our communities.

Chevle Altanchul, Mongolia
Through this training, I came to understand that planting the seeds of peace should not be the responsibility of only countries experiencing Cold War-like tensions, but the foremost priority for every nation across the world.
Although I had learned about the dangers of the Cold War through books, films, and documentaries, this education helped me feel and grasp the urgency and reality of those dangers on a much deeper level.

Lilian Msaki, Tanzania
I am truly grateful and proud to have become a peace lecturer for women.
As we learn about peace, we begin to see how many women and children around the world are suffering.
As fellow companions who share the same hope for peace, I believe that what women can do to change this painful world is to help spread peace to every nation through IWPG.
That is why I sincerely hope that every woman will never give up, and will complete the PLTE program so that we may stand together as peace lecturers and bring healing and transformation to the world.
