Routes 2 Roots Joins Hands with United Nations University for Global Peace

In a first ever, Routes 2 Roots enters into a tie-up with the American University for Global Peace (an affiliate of the United Nations University for Global Peace) to further the initiative of spreading peace and harmony through education. Under UNUGP special focus would be given to peace and conflict studies in order to equip scholars and peace activists by cultivating the development of skills necessary for global peace initiatives. Routes 2 Roots comes in as a critical link in the initiative with its ongoing programs on promoting global peace through the spread of education of art, culture and heritage.

Through this collaboration Routes 2 Roots furthers its objective of spreading peace and brotherhood through culture and education, which the NGO has propagated for over two decades through its initiatives, concerts, student exchange programs and cultural education program. The NGO has disseminated education through its customised infrastructure among over 20 million students in India and many beneficiaries globally (in collaboration with ICCR - Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India) through its partners in more than 75 countries.

Along with the Indian chapter of American University for Global Peace, Routes 2 Roots aims to not only widen the impact of its initiative but also implement the new Indian Knowledge System (IKS) through its centres worldwide. This would include imparting cultural education through its rich pool of instructors who are leading exponents of Indian art forms from across India. This will be done further in line with the National Education Policy 2020.

This tie-up will strengthen the objectives of both the organisations, furthering their aim in creating a peaceful global climate.
