The Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education(IMPACT-SE)
-- formerly referred to as the Center for Monitoring the Impact
of Peace (CMIP) -- is a non-profit, non-political international NGO founded
in 1998. It
is dedicated
to fostering peaceful relations
between
peoples
and
nations
by
helping
them accept the "Other" and reject violence as a means
of resolving conflicts. To this end, it examines school curricula
worldwide, especially throughout the Middle East, to determine
whether
the material
conforms to international standards, and to analyze what is being
taught with regard to recognition and acceptance of the "Other."
It is our belief that education should be utilized to encourage
an attitude of tolerance, pluralism, and democracy, and to promote
peaceful means of solving
conflicts.
IMPACT-SE is run by a group of volunteers in the Middle East
and Europe. It is governed by a General Assembly, an Executive
Board and an International
Advisory Board. IMPACT-SE Europe (Paris) was instrumental
in publishing "La démocratie en danger. L'enseignement
scolaire saoudien. Préface d'Antoine Sfeir" ("Democracy
in Danger: Saudi curriculum. Forward by Antoine Sfeir.")
