☕ A Tea Party for Peace

Steeped in Peace is more than an event — it’s a gathering of hearts and hopes. Together, we’ll share tea, stories, and solidarity as we raise critical funds for the Disarmament Education Program, a collaborative effort to bring peace education to secondary schools across Canada.

This program is a visionary partnership between Canadian Voice of Women for Peace (VOW) and IPPNW Canada, designed to equip educators with the knowledge and skills to seamlessly integrate institutional disarmament education into their local contexts. This involves interactive discussion on subject matter in the nexus of nuclear disarmament, nonviolent conflict resolution, Indigenous justice, and climate justice. Through engagement, education, and empowerment, we aspire to contribute to the creation of a more peaceful, sustainable, and just world— grounded in feminist values, creating a culture of peace, and the urgent need to eliminate nuclear weapons.

✨ What to Expect

🫖 Tea & Networking – Bring your own tea or favourite beverage and connect in small virtual groups with fellow peace builders from across the country.

🎙️ Powerful Storytelling – Hear intergenerational voices — from youth activists to elders — share how peace and disarmament have shaped their lives and why this work matters more than ever.

📚 Presentation of the Disarmament Education Program – Learn about our bold vision for a national program in Canadian high schools, and how your support makes it possible.

💞 Call to Action – Become a member (annual or monthly), make a donation, or simply spread the word. Help fill our cup — so we can pour peace into classrooms and communities.
