| Abstract | Peter Manniche (1880-1981) founded the International People's College, Helsingor, Denmark, in 1921 as an experiment in peace education, "a miniature League of Nations." It is a folk high school, and in many ways from its inception up to today is still in the maintenance of the Grundtvigian folk high school, except that it is the only Danish folk high which teaches English and that it is specifically international in emphasis, reflected in the content of the curriculum and the composition of the staff. This paper explores Manniche's educational ideas, and how they were put into practice through curriculum, teaching, and daily life of the college. The history of the college since Manniche's retirement is briefly brought up to date. More than 50,000 students have participated in the college courses, and in 1988 the college was designated a "Peace Messenger" by the United Nations. Schools founded with a specific peace and international understanding emphasis are not common, and by examining International People's College, which celebrates its 75th anniversary in 1996, a contribution can be made to understanding peace education in practice.
