What is Peacetopia?
People have always dreamed of a better world. In the 16th Century, Sir Thomas More described an imaginary place called Utopia, whose inhabitants lived in a much more sustainable and egalitarian society than those which existed in Europe at the time. His vision inspired centuries of Utopian literature in which writers shared their visions of a better world. However, Utopia literally means 'No place.' Paxtopia, meaning 'Peace Place', is a much more accurate description of a vision of peace on earth. Peacetopia would be an even more apt contemporary description.

In times like this, peace on earth may seem like a naive fairytale. In many ways, it does appear that we're very far away from creating a world at peace. But we also now have the potential to help create a much more peaceful, just and sustainable world, if we work together to make it a priority, for ourselves and our societies. At this crucial pivotol time, we need, more than ever, to focus on the dream and wish for peace on earth.

Peace on earth will not come in a magical moment, but it is something that we can strive together to create and sustain, if we can convince the world to make it a priority. But if we want peace on earth, we can't wait until everyone wakes up and realizes that a world that strove to live in peace would be so much better for everyone. Peace on earth must start with us. We must strive to envision it, and do whatever we can to make this dream of peace on earth come true.

What is Peace on Earth? Peace is not just the absence of war. In a Peacetopian World, nations and the people of the Earth will strive to live in peaceful coexistence. The world will share a common goal - to make life better for ourselves and those we care about, while respecting each other and the planet we share.

Every reality begins with a vision. If we, the Dreamers of Peacetopia, the cultural creatives, can share our vision of peace on earth in art, books, music, television shows and movies, we can help transform our culture of violence into a culture of peace, and inspire the creation of a better world.

The primary focus of this website is to highlight the visions of peacetopia found in art, music and literature and the blueprints to create a more peaceful, just and sustainable world that can be found in documents such as the Earth Charter.
