Symbolism

Badge

Blue and white are colours associated with peace. The lines of latitude and longitude symbolize a globe and thus the worldwide mission of the Peace Support Training Centre. The deer is a cautious animal with highly developed senses and is used here as a symbol of communications, peace and mediation. The rock is a symbol of stability and protection.

Motto

This Latin phrase means “Learn, prepare, succeed.”
