UNESCO’s initiative to foster a global Culture of Peace has evolved over decades, aiming to instill values, attitudes, and behaviors that reject violence and endeavor to prevent conflicts by addressing their root causes. This paper examines the historical development, achievements, challenges, and future directions of this movement, incorporating insights from Dr. David Adams, Director of the Unit for the International Year for the Culture of Peace 2000. Additionally, it highlights the significance of the International Day of Peace 2024 and anticipates the role of MONDIACULT 2025 in advancing the Culture of Peace agenda, including the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a tool for fostering peace.
