PEACE STUDIES CENTER
Import
Myanmar Institute of Theology has launched a program of the Peace Studies Center (PSC) in 2006 as a response to the desperate needs and burning issues in the churches and societies. The PSC have been dealing with various programs on issues of Peace and Reconciliation. It has become a recourse center for the Institutes, Groups and Organizations interested in conflict transformation.
Vision
The Peace Studies Center concept grew out of the vision to help our constituents and others focus specifically on how greater peace and justice can be sewn and grown within and between our churches, our organizations and our people groups in Myanmar.
Objectives
The objectives of PSC are to promote the understanding of Peace in today’s Myanmar context, to introduce new skills in building peace and transforming conflicts, to enhance the knowledge of human rights and human dignity, to convince that violence is destructive not only to renounce violence but also to adhere nonviolent living, to propagate the idea of restorative justice and promote justice making society, to encourage general public to be aware of the concept of peace and its practicability through publication
of peace studies in Burmese languages and to develop Peace studies Curriculum and thereby to establish Master’s program in Peace Studies.
Publications
The center has published booklets from Little Book Series of Eastern Mennonite University in Burmese translation for the readers of Myanmar.
