Identity Manual with Guidelines for Usage

Why Identity is Important

Cities of Peace, Inc., parent company of the association named International Cities of Peace®, is contributing to the historical work of laying the foundations for world peace. The “identity” of International Cities of Peace is the result of the many ways volunteers communicate information about the Association to the world.

Elements of identity gives a sense of the culture of the organization.

It is a responsibility we share. We hope that all volunteers take good care to follow the guidelines expressed in this Identity Manual.
