FOUNDER

Welcome to the World Change Academy.

The World Change Academy was founded with a clear purpose: to advance change for peace by supporting the inner transformation of the individual. We believe that sustainable peace cannot be achieved only through external agreements or temporary solutions; it begins within the human being—through awareness, responsibility, and the ability to transform one’s own mind, emotions, and actions.

At the heart of our work is the Art of Peace, a foundational approach that teaches how to dissolve inner conflict and cultivate a stable, constructive state of being. Building on this core, the Academy has developed more than 200 peace-based change programs—structured pathways designed to help individuals move from stress to balance, from fear to clarity, from separation to unity, and from reaction to conscious choice.

Today, the World Change Academy reaches beyond borders through an international network of Change Experts and practitioners who carry this mission into their communities. Through peace-focused personal change, we are creating a powerful global awareness of peace—one that is practical, lived, and visible in everyday life. When individuals change in a peace-centered way, families change, communities change, and society begins to shift toward a more humane and sustainable future.

Our commitment is to continue developing ethical, evidence-informed, and socially responsible programs that empower people to become agents of peaceful change—within themselves and in the world.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

With respect and dedication,
Akif Manaf
