***A Survey of Interest and Opinion for a Peace Education Journal***

Anita Wenden, York College, City University of New York, also the Committee Chair for exploration of this journal invited our membership to participate in this Survey.This proposal is the result of an ad hoc committee that joined together at the International Peace Research Association(IPRA) Conference in Finland in August, 2000.At that time Earth and Peace Education Associates International (EPE) presented the proposal for this innovative, scholarly journal.They envisioned that this would include “a holistic approach to education for peace, including : Education for disarmament, social justice, human rights, cultural solidarity and environmental sustainability.”

The purpose of this Survey is to enable the Committee to receive your opinions and hopefully, also your enthusiastic support for the journal.We are also encouraged to make copies of the survey and distribute it to all who are interested or already involved in peace education. In addition to Anita Wenden, the Committee includes:Ilse Haakvort(Sweden), Magnus Haavelsrud (Norway) and our Symposium presenter in 1999, Frank Hutchison (Australia), Syted Mehdi (Pakistan), Swee Hin Toh (Canada), Lennart Vriens (The Netherlands), and Werner Wintersteiner (Austria).
