Organization Details:

PASOS is a nonprofit organization established to advance peacebuilding through education and the arts.

Description and/or History:
PASOS' mission is to establish an interactive peace museum where individuals, families and groups can gather to experience and learn aboutt peacebuilding. Through art collections, music, film, interactive exhibits, speaker series and workshops, PASOS will invite every visitor to explore how he or she can integrate into his or her life new understandings, outlooks, motivations and conceptions about the relationship of human beings to each other and to their planet. PASOS will also challenge every visitor to identify one thing he or she can do in his or her personal life, in their family or in the larger community to promote peace.
PASOS was incorporated pursuant to the Not-for Profit laws of New York State in April 2006. The organization seeks to undertake all the appropriate procedures to be chartered as New York City's first museum of peace where it can provide educational programs on peacebuilding through use of all artistic mediums. On February 22, 2009, the organzation rents space at the Schomburg Center and held it's first program on peacebuiling. We look forward to continued programming events in 2009 and beyond.
