What kind of hero do you want to be?

What kind of hero do you want to be?

When we were young, most of us have dreamed of being a hero who has super power. It looked cool to have one of those powers and save the world. What kind of super power did you like the most? Being invisible? Flying? Teleport? No matter what power they have, the reason people like them is because they are helping others. In contrast, even though some bad guys have super power, people hate them instead of respecting them. They are different than others but the real hidden power that motivates them is their warm heart. It seems like having super power is magic and impossible to have it, but being a hero is not difficult. We all have our super powers hidden in our heart. Being a hero depends on showing them or not. Whenever we hear the news telling us there is a victim caused from the war, we feel sad and sorry for them. However, if this feelings just stays in our mind, then we will be the normal citizen among the thousands of people. However, if we stand out and try to save them, that who we call super hero. It doesn't mean that we have to go out in the battlefield fight with the weapon. We can cease the war by doing the peace work. International Peace Youth Group is one of the hero group who tries to save the world. We are ready to save the war with the strongest super power which is warm-heart and hope to achieve world peace. As you know, one super hero is not enough to save the world. If all the heroes get together and gather our power, it will be easy to win in this battle. Are you ready to fight with us? Are you ready to be a super hero?

Let's change our future history with IPYG

Let's change our future history with IPYG

When we look back and learn about human history, most of them are about the wars and some events that has affected by the war. Someone could think it's natural to have war in our history because we have different culture, language, race and religion. Or could think war is one of human development. However, is it really necessary and unenviable to have war? What was the advantage that's left for us? The things derived from the war is high-tech weapons that can kill thousands of people at once. Also, because of that, lots of innocent soldiers has been sacrificed their lives. Once again, was it unavoidable? Was it the best way for our human? The only thing that we can teach to our next generation is wars that has been taken away our lives. It cannot be the good model to our descendants. Past is past what has been already happened and can't change. However, we can still change and plan for our future. Let's pass peaceful world down to our children. It will be also a tragedy if we leave on this wars and worrying about our descendants. The most valuable present for next generation that we can give is peaceful world that they can live happily ever after. International Peace Youth Group is now working on the front to change this world. We are gathering together so that there won't be any other students and youth soldiers sacrificing their lives.

What kind of hero do you like to be?

What kind of hero do you like to be?

There are lots of heroes in the world. When we think about heroes these days, we usually think of Iron man, Spider man, Thor and etc, someone like abnormal. Image about the heroes are more like someone who has super power. However, there are not just heroes with super powers. There are also heroes with super heart. For example, when we were young, we used to think our parents as a super hero. It's because of the heart of loving their children which is their secret super power. Most of us once have thought about being a hero but we just regard them as a dream. Yet, we can still go for that dream. How? We can be a super hero who bring world peace. Our super power is our passion of achieving peace. Among people who just dream to be a super hero, how about we really be a hero to all the people living on the Earth? Like Avengers, when we gather our hearts, our super power will be much bigger and strong enough to change the world. Youth super heroes are now gathering in International Peace Youth Group to shine their super powers.

Peace is understanding the difference

Peace is understanding the difference

Have you heard about the campaign 'Humanae'? It's a project finding out all the different skin colors and records them. I think it's quite interesting project. We usually establish a standard that there are three different skin color which is white, yellow and black. Talking about skin color might seems radical discrimination but that's normally how it is. However, according to this project, each person has their own skin color. We cannot just set up a standard with three different colors and put in all of those skin colors. The most important thing here is knowing the difference and understanding each other. We cannot ask why we have different colors. It's just how we are created. I think Peace is the same. Discussing about why we are different doesn't make any difference. It will only make big gaps between us. However, if we talk about our different culture and environment, and talk about how we can understand each other to make peace will make changes in us. This change will be the seed of peace and bring us world peace. We cannot just argue which way is the right way to world peace but it will give us the answer if we gather and share our thoughts about peace. There are lots of youth gathered in International Peace Youth Group and we are now one step forward to achieve peace in this world.

Peace cannot be with War

Peace cannot be with War

What do you think about peace? What is 'Peace' to you?

People have their own definition for peace. Some might think inner peace of each person is peace. There are also other definitions such as love, understanding, being together and etc. All of these meanings are not wrong. with these, we can achieve peace. However, in the dictionary, it says, peace is where there is no war or fighting. Like it says, if there is a war, peace cannot be there together. Which means, even if some countries are not in the war, if there is a war happening in other country, they cannot say they are in peace. World cannot have peace with a war. That's why we need to work this out together. Because we are the one living in this world, we should take responsibility and bring peace in this world. Peace cannot be with war, but when peace comes, happiness will follow with it.

It's because youth are the one who makes change in this world. Youth makes changes and it becomes shape of the world. That's why youth is so important to work for the world peace.

We should act up to what we say and want!

It's hard to act up to what we say sometimes. Saying something is easy and doesn't take lot of effort. However, acting up to the word is hard to keep it. This also determinate someone's trust. We rather trust whom really show with their action not just with a word. At first, it's tempting to those attractive words but at the end, we turn to ones who keep their words. Are you one of those who act up to what you say? Do you want world peace? We all want world peace but there are not many people who really keep their word. However, just saying we want world peace won't make changes in this world. We should make an action to these, so that we can bring our wish come true. International Peace Youth Peace Group is a group where we act up to what we want. We are working as hard as possible and we will make our wish come true!

Our strong spirit will make peaceful world

Our strong spirit will make peaceful world

There are many people who are admired by lots of people. The difference between them and others were their spirit. Proved by many examinations, sometimes, the spirit gives effect on our body that it controls and shows amazing power. For example, there was a man found dead in the refrigerator that was not working. Even though the power was off, it was man's thought which killed himself. In additions, for all of us, it's easy to think negatively. However, because those few people thought it is possible and worked hard, that's how they make changes and be different from others. Now, it's time for us to make small but big change in this world. It might seems hard and not possible to bring peace in this world. However, if we change our thought and then try our best to work this out, I am sure we can make peaceful world. Those who have spirit of peace are now gathering in International World Peace Group and we are trying our best to achieve world peace.

Peace has to be achieved in our generation

Peace has to be achieved in our generation

In human history, war has been break out constantly for thousands of years. Even though there were some movements to change the world, world is not peaceful yet. Some people who have lived in peaceful world, they will try to keep that life. On the other hand, people who have experienced the crucial life being in war, they will try to change the world, so that they won't be living in those kind of life again. As a result, there is no one who wants war. Instead, all of us are dreaming about peaceful world. However, even if many people tries to change the world, but if it doesn't change for a long time, then people starts to lose their hope and think this is impossible. So, before people lose their hope and give up working for peace, we need to achieve world peace. Let's not give up and try our best to achieve world peace together! International Peace Youth Group(IPYG) has already started working to change the world and now, we are looking forward to work with you:)

It is our duty to achieve WORLD PEACE

It is our duty to achieve WORLD PEACE

We call on all youth to unite in an effort to stop wars and pursue the restoration of peace by agreeing not to fight one another. For World Peace to become a reality this is the duty of all youth, everywhere. The only way to stop the fighting and pointless, tragic deaths, is to stop fighting. Nobody can ask for anything greater than this, and know now that your efforts – the efforts of the young people of the world today in pursuit of peace – will remain as a never fading light of life for all future generations.
                                                     -Part of the declaration of world peace-

This is a part of the declaration of world peace. You can easily found in IPYG site.
As it is written in here, becoming a peace leader is a duty for all of youth. Youth is the one who can really lead the world into peace. When the war broke out, who go out to the field and fight for the country? Yes, it's the youth. However, if the youth refuse to fight and work for peace, isn't that the way to stop the war? People live with lots of duties, but think about the value of each duty you have. Work for what you really need to do, and what really needs you to do. Let's be a youth who can really be proud of itself. Like the youth before saved each country, now, let us save the whole world. It will not going to be the happening but the history in our life.

WHY & WHAT is IPYG??

As it is showing in the name, it is a huge group where youth groups from all over the world gathers to achieve world peace. It sounds like abstract thing but it's not like other groups. Even every groups, from other countries, has different culture, language and method, but in IPYG, we become one and be a huge international family. Gathering for one reason, world peace, is strong enough to tight all the youth from each countries. However, what we really want to do is not just gather bus achieve actual world peace. There were lots of peace leaders, events and works to achieve it, but as we know, world peace has not achieved yet. This is why we, IPYG, is gathering to achieve actual world peace in the world that has never been in the world. Someone can doubt that this group and work could be like others but we are sure that we can do this. We have confidence because if all the youth from the world gather to stop the war and work for peace why can't it be? Whenever war broke out, youth is the one who go out to the field and fight, devoting their lives. However, if youth unites and work for peace instead, who will be the solider? Not only just preventing the war, but because we do lots of different peace works in each country, this IPYG's way to make world as on.

IPYG IS...

International Peace Youth Group

Man Hee Lee, Chairman of Restoration of World Peace and Culture of Heaven

Du Hyun Kim, Director of International Peace Youth Group

International Peace Youth Group was formed from groups of young people coming together with the vision and determination to unite people across borders, cultures, languages and races. We aim to foster a spirit of appreciation and respect for the diversity of humanity, as well as for all individuals that create that diversity. IPYG started their work nationally in South Korea and mobilized thousands of youth across the country through their signature peace walk. It didn't take long before youth around the world recognized the efforts and importance of IPYG’s purpose and they too started hosting the peace walks with their youth.

IPYG has recently merged with the MANNAM International Youth Coalition (MIYC) which consists of a untied body of youth organizations from all around the world, bringing over a hundred more international affiliates to join forces with IPYG through their powerful peace-driven projects.

Organizations affiliated to IPYG will engage in collaborative projects throughout the year, meeting once or twice annually to participate in youth summits aimed at developing practical and sustainable solutions to the challenges facing us in the pursuit of peace. Everyone wants peace, so why has it not yet been attained? This is the kind of topic IPYG will address. We recognize that it is only with all of our seemingly small efforts combined that we can begin to see big results.

It is our goal to become a platform were all youth will be able to meet and encounter one another in a meaningful way through IPYG, and go on to make a great difference in the lives of people we meet in turn.
