IMPACT-SE

The Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-SE) -- formerly referred to as the Center for Monitoring the Impact of Peace (CMIP) -- is a non-profit, non-political international NGO founded in 1998. It is dedicated to fostering peaceful relations between peoples and nations by helping them accept the "Other" and reject violence as a means of resolving conflicts. To this end, it examines school curricula worldwide, especially throughout the Middle East, to determine whether the material conforms to international standards, and to analyze what is being taught with regard to recognition and acceptance of the "Other."
