Peace Circle - Growing Peace in Shared Spaces
What if peace could take root in everyday places — in parks, schoolyards, and neighborhoods?
Peace Circle® transforms urban green spaces into shared environments of connection, care, and renewal. By planting symbolic trees and co-creating open, welcoming spaces, communities grow peace — together. It’s where peace becomes action, and shared values grow into living spaces of care and connection.
Behind each Circle is a compact, scalable model that brings together
nature, technology, and community ownership to foster peace, resilience, and sustainability.
The model
• addresses climate change through local action
• enhances biodiversity and ecosystem services
• promotes holistic well-being — mental, physical, and environmental
• can include a Digital Twin to expand the space into a meaningful, interactive learning environment
Peace Circles are co-created by citizens, associations, schools, municipalities, and partners
— and linked globally through a living platform for shared knowledge and impact.
Peace Circle doesn’t just grow trees — it grows lasting systems of care.

What is Peace Circle®?
Peace Circles® are inspiring green spaces—living classrooms and vibrant hubs for community engagement.
At the heart of each park stands the Central Peace Tree, symbolizing unity and resilience. Surrounding it is the Circle of Guardians, honoring peacemakers and environmentalists who inspire positive change.
Each park follows the ABC for Peace—three symbolic lines that reflect core human values:
-
❤️ A Heart (Hope, Love, Justice)
-
💡 B Head (Knowledge, Science, Wisdom)
-
✋ C Hands (Life, Balance, Diversity)
Adding to this harmony is the Meadow of Life, a flourishing space that celebrates biodiversity and the interconnectedness of all living things. It serves as a reminder of nature’s resilience and the balance between humanity and the environment.
Together, these elements create spaces where nature, learning, and community come together to nurture peace and sustainability
