The Peace Education Programme is a video-based workshop series designed to help individuals discover their inner strength and personal peace.
It encourages reflection on themes such as choice, hope, and dignity. Rather than defining personal peace, the programme empowers participants to develop their own understanding.
It has been implemented successfully in community centres, schools, universities, healthcare facilities, senior centres, homeless shelters, rehabilitation clinics, and correctional institutions.
The Prem Rawat Foundation (TPRF) makes the programme materials freely available to volunteers and organisations, offering access in over 84 countries and 40 languages.

Police station gets Mandela Day overhaul
Roodekrans Neighbourhood Watch (RNW) took their Mandela Day community service initiative to new heights this year, spending not only 67 minutes, but a whole two weeks in service of the community, by carrying out extensive maintenance at the Roodepoort Police Station. According to RNW chairperson Andreas Oberlechner, they have, over the past two weeks, tirelessly worked to reach their goal of completion by Mandela Day. 'The initiative was driven by Captain Juanita Yorke and the RNW as part of the Roodepoort CPF,' says Oberlechner. 'It involved the painting of a reserved parking bay for one of the physically challenged officers, so that accessible parking is always available for him. 'We also conducted a much-needed cleanup and maintenance of the police station grounds, cutting back trees and vegetation within the precinct.' Local business Gibson's Tree Felling and Garden Maintenance Services showed exceptional community spirit, and agreed to tender their services free of charge for the drastic cutback of overgrown trees and vegetation and the removal of invasive trees and shrubs. 'Tons of wood and vegetation were removed and the parking area was cleaned and rid of weeds, transforming and uplifting the precinct that, due to severe budgetary constraints, has not been maintained as it needed to be,' says Oberlechner. 'The RNW would like to thank all parties that participated, especially Gibson Chikwanda and his team, Felix de Gouveia of Village Fastfoods, for sponsoring and supplying the refreshments and Captain Yorke for the initiative that made this Mandela Day project possible,' he concludes.
