The Bead People

International Peace Project

A Peace Movement You Can Wear, Share & Believe In

We don't just have a missionโ€”we are on a mission. Join a global community of like-minded people who believe we can celebrate our differences instead of fighting wars over them.


We Don't Just Promote Peaceโ€”We Create the Peace Experience

Every time you build a Bead Person or host a project, peace happens. In your hands. In your heart. In your community.

Don't just sit there. Read our story, watch our film, and then take action.

WHO ARE WE?

A Global Movement of Creativity, Connection & PeaceThe Bead People International is on the move as we approach our 20th birthday!

Together, we are reaching for a bold new milestone: growing from 16,000 Bead People to 20,000 by 2027 across the globe.
