The Peace Boat creates a unique environment in which people can live, learn and relax together while visiting some of the most fascinating regions on earth. During each voyage, Peace Boat organizes a range of educational activities, including language classes, peace education workshops, lectures, and cultural programmes. The themes of these activities link Peace Boat’s fields of work with contemporary issues in the countries we visit.

In order to achieve a global culture with values reflecting a genuine desire for peace and a rejection of violence, peace education must be more widely promoted and access to it increased.

Since our foundation in 1983, Peace Boat has been active in peace education through the organization of educational voyages, and study and exchange programmes all over the world.

On each voyage, Guest Educators are invited onboard to give lectures about the history, culture, and contemporary issues of the countries that Peace Boat visits, as well as present on global justice issues including human rights, peace education, the environment and sustainable development.

Participants can take part actively in lectures, workshops and discussions with specialists from diverse learning backgrounds, as well as exchanging ideas and opinions with members of the Global University and International Student programmes.

Sports, music, dance and art transcend language and cultural barriers onboard a Peace Boat voyage. The outdoor sports deck is a venue for basketball, soccer, karate, volleyball, tai-chi and also a rehearsal space for dance or musical performances. Art and craft groups form on each voyage, often working to create something to be presented in a port of call or used as part of an advocacy campaign. The open-air decks are also spaces to watch the roll of the ocean, take a swim in one of the pools or chat and meet with other participants.
