Our Mission

Children’s Peace Theatre uses the arts and artistic creativity as critical tools for personal and social transformation. Our mandate is to co-create a culture of peace using an arts based, intergenerational and holistic approach that cultivates ecological, social and spiritual resilience with the individual and the community. We centre the voices of Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPoC) to co-create imaginative solutions for equitable and fair futures for all.

About Children's Peace Theatre

Children’s Peace Theatre is a catalyst for ideas, discussions and actions that make the arts more central and meaningful to people’s lives, in order to promote healthier young people, more vibrant democracies and equitable societies. It is our commitment to provide a space where young people can create and learn from artists and Elders.

Our flagship program Peace Camp provides opportunities for children and youth to work with professional artists to create public presentations that speak to the issues impacting their lives, while learning skills in Conflict Transformation.   You can donate to this incredible program by going to our Campaign tab.

The Youth Arts Space provides mentorship, funding and space for young culture makers to develop their own art for social change projects. Young people have access to a lounge, music studio, commercial kitchen and support from a dynamic team of artists, Elders and peers to help them achieve their goals, while learning participatory leadership and entrepreneurship skills.

CPT also acts a Shared Platform for many youth and community led grassroots projects.  You can donate directly to some of these projects by going to our Campaign tab.
