PeaceGeneration (PeaceGen) is a social enterprise dedicated to promoting peace education since 2007. For over 17 years, PeaceGen has focused on Peace Education Training, Educational Media Development, and Peace Message Advocacy. Through creative and engaging media, we collaborate with educators, students, and young changemakers to build a peaceful and inclusive society. PeaceGen was founded following a conversation between Irfan Amalee and Eric Lincoln in 2006. At the time, Eric, an English teacher, asked about global politics. Irfan responded by blaming the U.S. for many world issues. Eric, in turn, labeled Irfan as a Taliban. However, through deep discussion, their prejudices dissolved. They began to understand each other and created the 12 Basic Values of Peace module. In 2007, they established PeaceGeneration Indonesia to spread peace values using this module. PeaceGen focuses on handling social issues that contribute to polarization—where differences between groups lead to prejudice and division, preventing mutual understanding and fostering intolerance, extremism, and violence.
