About CMIP



The Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education--formerly referred to as the Center for Monitoring the Impact of Peace (CMIP)--is a non-profit, non-political international NGO founded in 1998. It is dedicated to fostering peaceful relations between peoples and nations by helping them accept the "Other" and reject violence as a means of resolving conflicts. To this end, it examines school curricula worldwide, especially throughout the Middle East, to determine whether the material conforms to international standards, and to analyze what is being taught with regard to recognition and acceptance of the "Other."

CMIP is run by a group of volunteers in the Middle East and Europe. It is governed by a General Assembly, an Executive Board and an International Advisory Board. CMIP Europe (Paris) was instrumental in publishing "La démocratie en danger. L'enseignement scolaire saoudien. Préface d'Antoine Sfeir" ("Democracy in Danger: Saudi curriculum. Forward by Antoine Sfeir.")
