The American University of Peace Studies, a Higher Learning Life Skills Based Educational Institution wasestablished to promote Life Skills teachings to serve as a means to empower people in challenging situations to acquire knowledge, and to develop attitudes and skills, which support the adoption of healthy behaviors. We believe education is one of the key defenses against Conflict, Violence, Abnormal Behavior, HIV/AIDS and ethnic discrimination. A critical response to these challenging issues is to ensure access to compulsory Life Skills of good quality and Life Skills Based Education must be considered part of a quality education. The American University of Peace Studies is dedicated to promoting Life Skills studies that have evaluated skills based programs, practical tools and materials for those ready to implement Life Skills Based Education in: Social Science, Counseling, Health Education, Human Rights, Conflict Resolution, and HIV/AIDS prevention.
