Our Mission

IGE supports the non-violent resolution of conflicts and the pursuit of justice as the best way to achieve true, lasting peace through conscientious individual and group education and action.We call for accountability of officials in our own and other countries when their actions work against peace. We are a meeting place for community groups that share our concerns about human rights and education for multicultural and religious awareness.

Our Activities

Established in 1980, IGE presents programs for the public on current issues that increase our understanding and allow for discussion on controversial subjects. We examine the concepts of environmental awareness, global economics, media literacy, sexism, racism, militarism, and class-ism. We encourage action on global and local responsibility. IGE promotes peaceful conflict resolution through training, workshops with youth and adults, and ongoing community discussion.
