MISSION
Inspired by U Thant’s vision of "One World", the Institute’s mission is to advance peace by supporting educational projects related to conflict prevention, poverty alleviation and public health.
In so doing, the U Thant Institute will use its unique position to form alliances with United Nations organs, non-governmental organizations, educational establishments, philanthropic institutions, scholars and individuals.
GOALS & OBJECTIVES
The Institute aims to achieve, in small and large steps, its goal of peace through education to enable comprehension of conflicts, discernment of causes, and healing of ills.
To this end, the U Thant Institute will work to reach a wide audience by bringing together people of differing cultures, faiths and religions in educational, civic and social forums that address the diversity, challenges and possibilities of our world.
