The goal of the Institute of Global Education is to educate those who desire to participate in a world where peace is a way of life. Individuals will be empowered to cultivate an attitude of world citizenship where international thinking is the norm. We live in a world of abundance in which we need to improve our skills for accomplishing the changes needed to correct inequities and shortages. Students and participants will develop the abilities to promote food sufficiency, reverse environmental degradation, mentor social justice, and maximize self realization within the global community.
The Institute for Global Education incorporated December 12, 1980. Non profit status was granted March 1, 1984 under USA 501(c)(3) regulations. Radio For Peace International was created November 2, 1985. The Institute nurtured the international shortwave radio station, broadcasting from Costa Rica, until it became an independent corporation on April 9, 1992.
The Institute of Global Education was granted status at the United Nations in 1998 as an “NGO in Special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations”. The Institute has permanent Representatives at United Nations Headquarters in New York and in Geneva. Efforts are made to strengthen and empower the United Nations to fulfill its global mission.
