OUR VISION

To Make Peace a Verb

PeaceJam is a global youth movement led by 14 Nobel Peace Laureates. Through education, mentoring, service learning and action, it helps young people build the skills and confidence to respond to the challenges facing their communities and the wider world. PeaceJam Taiwan was established in 2024 under the leadership of Dr. Shen Hsin-Ling, extending this work into the Chinese-speaking world.

“PeaceJam gives hope to so many young people. It is one of the most transformative programs I have ever seen.”

OUR MISSION

To Awaken the Peace Laureate Within Us All

1. Youth Leadership: Award-winning programs help young people develop purpose, inclusion, compassionate leadership, peacebuilding, global citizenship and action.
2. Nobel Laureate Mentorship: Young people learn from powerful examples of courage, resilience and practical leadership.
3. Learning Through Action: Participants do not stop at discussion—they design service-learning projects and turn ideas into measurable community action.

“When young people discover and use their gifts, they can become peacemakers with the courage and determination to serve others.”

Betty Williams

about

Dr. Shen Hsin-Ling, Executive Director

Dr. Shen Hsin-Ling is a Taiwanese social innovator, educator and long-time public-interest practitioner. Growing up in a rural, low-income family in Yunlin, she began using technology at a young age to solve practical problems and has continued community and educational work for more than two decades.

Her work has taken her from rural schools and farming communities across Taiwan to international forums and humanitarian initiatives. She has focused on education, social innovation, youth leadership, global citizenship and practical ways to connect local action with wider global challenges.

As the leader of PeaceJam Taiwan, she works with the PeaceJam network and the experience of 14 Nobel Peace Laureates to bring peace education, leadership development and action-based learning to young people in the Chinese-speaking world.

Across her public-interest projects, one idea remains constant: meaningful change begins when people turn empathy into action.

Honoring Dr. Kate Cumbo’s 22 Years of Service to PeaceJam

Members of the PeaceJam community from around the world came together to celebrate Dr. Kate Cumbo and her decades of dedication to peace education. Nobel Peace Laureates and PeaceJam partners shared messages of gratitude for the leadership, curriculum development and global relationships she helped build.

PeaceJam Taiwan joined the celebration with a special creative tribute. Dr. Cumbo’s work—especially her contributions to youth leadership, anti-bullying education and educator training—has helped shape programs that continue to reach young people across cultures and borders.

Her legacy is a reminder that peace education grows through long-term commitment: one learner, one educator and one community at a time.
