The International Peace and Security Institute or IPSI is a division of Creative Learning an international nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status headquartered in Washington, D.C. Founded in 2009, IPSI was acquired by Creative Learning in November of 2016. The Institute's objective is to train young peacebuilding and International Justice leaders in the skills needed to effectively intervene in violent conflict scenarios in pursuit of sustainable peace.
Currently IPSI has two flagship symposiums in Bologna, Italy, and The Hague, The Netherlands. Between 2009 and 2014 more than 400 young professionals and practitioners from over 100 countries have received training from the Institute.
Since 2010 and in cooperation with Johns Hopkins University SAIS, IPSI hosts a 4-week symposium in Italy, each year attended by more than 50 young professionals. Participants learn directly from world leaders, and undergo very intensive training from experts, notable academics, and advocates.
In partnership with the Netherlands Institute of International Relations Clingendael, this symposium brings together young leaders in the fields of international law, Human Rights, international relations, and the military, to participate in a month-long training on restorative justice, post conflict development and security, reconciliation, among other topics.
Panelists and speakers in this symposium have included:
The Peace and Security Report or (PSR) is free a weekly electronic publication researched and distributed by IPSI. The report reaches about 40 thousand readers per week in most countries around the world.
IPSI coordinates regular meetings of influential personalities and panels on relevant contemporary events.
The International Peace and Security Institute was founded by some of the world's foremost leaders in the fields of conflict resolution and security to address critical unfulfilled educational priorities.
