  • Inaugurated by His Excellency Late Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam in 2015, The Bangalore Peace Project is Imbroglio Productions’ ongoing project aimed at inculcating the value of peace in society.
  • The Bangalore Peace Project is a unique attempt to unite various schools and professionals to join hands in a series of events to achieve the special and common goal of peace.
  • This attainment is no global conference or ceasefire but rather a means to stop and reflect on what is more important - our inner peace.
  • Through this project, Imbroglio Productions joined hands with the World Peace Flame Organization (The Netherlands) and reputed schools from across Bangalore to deliver a practical and workable means of implementing peace at an individual level, especially for students.
  • The idea was to involve the youth to be a part of Bangalore’s message of peace as they holistically benefit from the events.
  • With students exposed to the violence of video games, television, peer pressure and more so to addiction, the need of the hour is to draw up an approach that helps them discern and act with calm, no matter what the external conflict.
  • A series of events such as a poetry competition (Bards of Peace), a photography competition (Pixels of Peace), a resource collection drive, a marathon for peace (Run for Peace!), a brass band performance, street plays, poster making, flash mobs etc. led to the finale of the show in January 2015 with the lighting of the World Peace Flame for the first time in India with over 400 performers performing live at the UB City Amphitheatre.
  • The successful ‘Inner Peace Education Workshop’ has now been completed in over 16 schools for 5500+ students.
  • Each school received a special ‘Certificate of Peace’ validated by The World Peace Flame Organization (The Netherlands).
