What We Promote

BMW is a pioneering UNESCO-affiliated organization that promotes inner peace and self-awareness among generations through physical, emotional, and mental balance. BMW was founded with the common goal of making the global community healthier, stronger, and more stable by utilizing unconventional sources of art and culture around us. We work with individuals and communities and envisions creations of traditional art and craft that symbolize harmony and peace. It also works towards enhancing the support of our ecology and the sphere of world peace and habituating Eco-friendly practices.

We help people help themselves.

Our Vision Mission

Our vision mission encompasses three main goals and engages people of all ages, especially the youth- improvement of the inner ecosystem, enhancement of inner creativity through arts and crafts and lastly, encouragement of inner peace on a global level.

UNESCO BMW strives for and implements Eco-friendly strategies and choices with individuals and communities to achieve the first goal. As part of the “Pearls of the Peace Land Projects,” we support the Ecosystem Protection Project, Smart Business Sponsorship, and a Lecture Series-STEAM to achieve the heart revelation of the 2030UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We also support all initiatives involving biodegradable concepts that can promote resilience and communication through after-school activities, mentor-ship, support groups, skill training, and Eco-friendly businesses.

However, it is impossible for the human being to ignore his emotional and artistic soul in life. Thus, our second goal of incorporating the arts in different forms has allowed diversity and inclusion in our environment.

Our Workshops

Before Covid, UNESCO BMW created Art & Craft in-person showrooms, workshops, and exhibitions, and more recently, it provided online Art of Inclusion and Cultural Diversity programs as part of the “Pearls of the Peace Land Projects.”

Since 2014, our programs have included the global communities and indigenous artists, with an emphasis on family as well as the individual through various methods to protect the quality of education, such as Quality Education and art & craft programs, as well as cultural diversity programs.

Achieving Inner Peace

UNESCO BMW has provided inner peace, Zen, Tao, Confucius, Zarathusrian, and Sufism style practices based on the 2030 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to achieve an awakening of the soul as well as peace for the global society. Since 2014, such stress relief and creative programs have included the Frederick community and beyond, with a focus on individual and family reintegration using methods such as chakra meditation, Feldenkrais, and inner wisdom. Each one-hour guided session focuses on inner awareness, introspection, relaxation, and Thoughtlessness meditative practices to coach, support, and uplift the emotional and mental well-being of all. We recently also held the “Meditation for Life’s Chaos” 9 Day Meditation June 2022 Program through which global youth pioneers provide insight into topics that may affect many people in achieving inner peace such as bullying, mental health etc.

Through these goals and our efforts, we hope to provide a platform of inner peace and awareness to the table in order to achieve total wellness of body, mind, and spirit. And in doing so, allowing people to express themselves through traditional crafts and performing arts. while also remembering the importance of free and balanced living, we hope to uplift our ecosystem and the  world around us. 

At Our Core

” UNESCOBMW is a non-profit full of kind-hearted people. Some things that we do to benefit the people of this world are yoga and meditation and this has helped a lot in my day-to-day life. It has helped me to improve my confidence, mental clarity and has just helped my overall well-being. We are also focused on the arts which are VERY important to me, being a creative soul myself. We help with the education of the environment helping to educate the people of the future to help make this world a better place and protect our home so it will still be here for future generations. Focusing on mental health, nutrition, social media, bullying, and family/friend connections are probably my favorite programs because in life we all need to help each other. Weather you come from a broken home or not these programs can help to strengthen your bond.” Testimonial by one of our volunteers, Sara Wise.
