Peace Circle® – A Living Ecosystem for Peace and Sustainability
What if peace could take root in everyday places — in parks, schoolyards, and neighborhoods?
The Peace Circle®, born in Finland, is a model that turns values into visible actions – in schools, communities, and cities. It connects nature, people, and technology in service of peace and a sustainable future.
Peace Circle Parks are the most visible expressions of the model – living places
where peace, connection, and responsibility take shape through shared action.
But the Peace Circle® is more than a park – it’s a growing ecosystem of care, learning, and participation. Educational activities, symbolic rituals, environmental action, and digital tools expand each Circle beyond its physical boundaries, creating a self-renewing system where values become everyday practice.
Rooted in universal values and aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals,
each Peace Circle invites people to reconnect with nature, with one another, and our shared future.

What is The Peace Circle®?
The Peace Circle® is a model that turns values into visible actions – for people and for nature. It invites individuals and communities to pause, reflect on their values, and transform them into practical action.
The Peace Circle operates on three interconnected levels:
🔴 Physical level – a park, a pedagogical and symbolic place where the model is alive and growing. Pop-up Peace Circles can also be created in schoolyards or other spaces – light, participatory versions of the same idea.
🔵 Digital environment – a global learning platform that connects people and communities across borders.
🟢 Symbolic practices and actions – creative methods that bring values into everyday life and make them visible in shared spaces, such as schools and classrooms with their own Peace Circles.
Together these levels make the Peace Circle® both local and global, concrete and symbolic – a simple and lasting way to live in harmony with one’s values.
The Peace Circle® creates a spark that renews itself. Good deeds nurture the Heart, build motivation, and inspire new actions – powered by inspiration and connection.
The Peace Circle® Model
The Peace Circle® is a living model that unites values, understanding, and action. At its heart is the idea that peace and sustainability arise when the Heart, Head, and Hands are in balance – compassion guides, knowledge illuminates, and action leads the way.
The model can be applied in schools, municipalities, communities, and organizations.
It offers practical ways to make values visible through everyday actions –in protecting nature, building community, and fostering responsible decision-making.
The Peace Circle® is not only a place but a process and a culture of practice that grows in every community in its own way – with the Heart, the Head, and the Hands in harmony.
