The Institute of Peoples, Territories, and Pedagogies for Peace (IPTP) is a non-governmental, non-partisan organization that sets out to foster decolonizing, intercultural dialogue, educational and diplomacy efforts across territorial, regional, national, and international organizations and grassroots movements in Colombia, Canada, Bolivia and is expanding its scope to include South Africa, Ghana, and Senegal.
The IPTP works towards deepened recognition of the ethno-territorial rights, governance, and ways of being of Indigenous and Afro-descendant peoples, women, diverse, and rural and urban communities. The IPTP seeks to support those affected by and address determinants of, racial and gender discrimination, displacement, and multiple forms of violence, including the disproportionate effects of armed conflict, as in the case of Colombia, South America.
​
The IPTP aims to advance agendas for global peace and environmental governance through collaborative education with First Nation, Indigenous, and Afro-Descendant groups globally, focusing on the importance of buen vivir, mino-bimaadiziiwin, Ubuntu, and other significant Indigenous teachings.
