Course Overview

TPRF offers two course options: Peace Education Program (also known as PEP Collection) and Peace Education Program for Higher Education (also known as PEP EDU). Each is focused on the same ten universal themes: Peace, Appreciation, Inner Strength, Self-Awareness, Clarity, Understanding, Dignity, Choice, Hope and Contentment.

While both courses share the same core themes, each is tailored for a specific context. Peace Education Program for Higher Education is designed for colleges, universities, career and technical educational settings, etc., while the more general Peace Education Program is intended for all other audiences and environments. These courses are not sequential and are taken independently of one another.

Each course’s content is drawn from Prem Rawat’s international addresses, media interviews and interactions with a diverse range of people, and also includes animated stories illustrating the ten themes.

Below are descriptions of the two courses, as well as a sample participant workbook and course videos.
