The Seacoast Peace Academy was organized by three former educators who sponsored New England wide, full day peace conferences for teachers, community members, leaders and students from 2005 - 2007 at the Oyster River High School in Durham, NH.  Upon reuniting after the Aurora movie theater shooting in the summer of 2012, we modeled a new iteration of the Teaching Peace Conference after the National Peace Academy.  Our vision states: We envision a sustainable culture of peaceful relationships. Our mission to do this by developing and encouraging communities of learning that foster and enhance a sustainable culture of peaceful relationships in the Greater Seacoast Region of New Hampshire and Maine.  We understand peace as defined by The Earth Charter, “…peace is the wholeness created by right relationships with oneself, other persons, other cultures, other life, Earth, and the larger whole of which all are a part” (The Earth Charter, 2000).  We adopt a holistic framework to peacebuilding and peace learning that includes the “5 Interrelated Spheres of Peace,” which are the social, political, ecological, institutional and personal dimensions. Environmental health--current climate chaos--is a social and racial justice issue.
