Dear
It is a privilege and honor for me to share my thoughts with you today as the recipient of the 2021 Honorary Degree in Environmental Arts and Peace Sciences from the International Center for Environmental Arts (ICEA).
This year presented a total of 15 candidates from 7 countries: India, Pakistan, South Africa, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland and the United States.
All the Worlds Children congratulates these Recipients as human rights defenders, environmentalists, artists committed to peace, and creators of initiatives for reconciliation, non-violence, justice, solidarity and peace, at local, national and international levels.
The CLEVELAND NATIONAL PEACE PLAN is being implemented and it is needed that since people have been working in many unimaginable ways, it’s time we begin to heal and overcome - together - in solidarity. The 2021 Recipients have all succeeded in developing particular approaches incorporating Iceality that integrates justice, economics, culture and technology in one way or another to meet the challenges of today's societies.
Their holistic and collective initiatives will become lighthouses that mobilize one's hope to build a future American Culture of Peace with the Great American Peace Trail. They bring with them a world of tolerance and harmony that builds relationships between People, their Environment with respect to the Fauna and Flora living here: the Worlds Children.
This distinction is unique to Cleveland and is designed to recognize efforts that Northeast Ohio is the global home of the Environmental Arts Movement and will serve as an ongoing reminder of achievements through Iceality in making Northeast Ohio the 'Universal Cradle for a Culture of Peace' for all Living Things that will be an inspiration for future generations to follow.

The WCPM would like to thank everyone who participated in this edition for their openness to the new approach that is more collaborative than competitive. We are pleased to offer visibility to all your community peace initiatives, whether known or not. The only objective of this prize is to make known a maximum of initiatives and artisans of peace to the general public, and this goes beyond any form of competition! We remind you that as we announced in a previous e-mail, in this way we try to give greater visibility to each prizewinner and we invite you to expand the solidarity network of the artisans and peacemakers that the needs to highlight.

With warm good wishes,
Peace Friend,

Ambassador Renate Jakupca

Patriotism makes you feel alive. To the great people, living for the country must be the first goal. A patriot never choose money over country benefit. Be bold, a bright star, and brave heart. Always do proud of your country irrespective of its greatness by embracing your country's art, culture and values. Listen to local music and watch local movies. Make it a priority to visit your own country's destinations before traveling to other countries. Youth can also teach and encourage children to love and respect their countries, in order to grow their national pride. The true measure of a Patriot is when a person lays down their life with the knowledge that those he saves... will never know.

Section 3: Summary of Post-Military Achievements

After his honorable discharge, David Jakupca co-founded the International Center for Environmental Arts (ICEA) in 1987, transforming military experience into civic action. His core mission became using art and culture to forge a sustainable and peaceful society.

Key milestones include:

Developing the Theory of Iceality – a framework combining environmental responsibility with civic engagement through arts and culture. Jakupca's Theory of ICEALITY was enthusiastically embraced by the United Nations by 1990 and was featured in many of their World Conferences;

1- 1992 Earth Summit on the Environment, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
2- 1993 World Conference on Human Rights, Vienna, Austria
3- 1994 World Conference on Population and Development, Cairo, Egypt
4- 1995 World Conference on Women, Beijing, China
5- 1996 Habitat II- UN Conference on Human Settlements, Istanbul, Turkey
6- 2000 World's Fair, Expo2000, Hannover, Germany
7- 2001 World Conference on Racism, Durban, South Africa
8- 2002 World Summit on Sustainability, Johannesburg, South Africa
9- 2003 World Conference on Peace, Verbania, Italy
10- 2005 World Conference on Peace, Verbania, Italy
11- 2007 World Peace Conference, Santa Fe, New Mexico
The result of this major global public promotion at the United Nations level, is that the Theory of Iceality on Environmental Arts is now considered as the cornerstone of the modern global sustainable culture of peace movement and this concept is now replicated by artists, architects, urban planners and sustainable organizations throughout the World, reflecting a still growing global audience. However, it must be noted that not all of Jakupca's contemporaries did accept the new theory at once.

Representing the U.S. as a Cultural Ambassador at EXPO 2000

Founding the Worlds Children Peace Monument (WCPM) – a global symbol for peace and nonviolence recognized by

Section 5: Summary of Education and Training Accomplishments

Associate Degree in Liberal Arts, Tri-C West Community College, Cleveland, Ohio
Bachelor of Science in Business Management, Dyke College, Cleveland, Ohio
Air Traffic Control Radar Certification, Federal Aviation Agency, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Developed the Iceality Methodology is a goal-directed type of education/learning principle for the Worlds Children based on the assumption that ideas and experiences reinforce one another and can be linked to enhance the innate holistic learning process. It refers to the capability of people to improve their communities through their own instinctive creativeness by following the same type of positive hands on action. Research has proven that this repetitive type of learning process is based on the principle that related different ideas and experiences reinforce one another and can be linked together and to enhance the whole learning process. Through this collaborative creative process, individuals and communities are not simply beneficiaries of public art or recipients of treatment, but co-creators of the work as they learn new skills, gain knowledge among peers and community members, and play an active role in improving their physical community neighborhoods. The Iceality Methodology is now the main process that organizations are utilizing to promote the United Nations Culture of Peace initiative.

Section 6: Narrative – “From Warrior to Peacemaker”

Nomination for David Jakupca
From Warrior to Peacemaker”

It is with great honor that I nominate David Jakupca for inclusion into the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame for a lifetime achievement and recognition of his pioneering contributions to environmental arts, global sustainability, and humanitarian philosophy.
From Warrior to Peacemaker, The ancient phrase from the biblical Book of Isaiah, "to turn swords to ploughshares," is still in common use today. These plowshares represent David's peaceful use of wartime capabilities after serving honorably in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. David Jakupca began a lifelong mission that would carry his service beyond the battlefield and into the global realm of peacebuilding, cultural diplomacy, and environmental justice.

David Jakupca is a visionary American philosopher, artist, and activist whose work has profoundly shaped the global conversation around environmental responsibility and cultural sustainability. As the creator of the Theory of Iceality, alongside his wife Renate, Jakupca established a groundbreaking framework that unites aesthetics, ecology, and humanitarian values. His Theory, widely adopted by artists, architects, and organizations across the world, promotes a holistic approach to creative expression aimed at achieving peace and sustainability for all living things.

Often referred to as the "Spiritual Father of the Environmental Arts Movement," Jakupca’s legacy includes influencing major institutions such as the United Nations and the National Endowment for the Arts, where his Iceality Methodology has guided policy and practice in cultural and ecological spheres. His work helped lay the philosophical foundation for what is now called the Sustainable Age — a cultural shift that emphasizes interconnectedness, environmental ethics, and social justice.

In a world often driven by profit, Jakupca has remained steadfast in his commitment to "service without profit or glory." He has never restricted the use of his work, believing it should serve a greater purpose. His advocacy for a trilateral system of environmental, humanitarian, and cultural practices continues to inspire generations of global thinkers and changemakers.

TIME Magazine honored him in its 2000 Millennium Edition as one of their "Heroes of the Planet", a fitting tribute to a life dedicated to the betterment of the Earth and its inhabitants. His influence is deeply embedded in Northeast Ohio, now recognized as the Home of the Environmental Arts Movement, largely due to his leadership through the International Center for Environmental Arts (ICEA) and the historic ARK in Berea Eco-Museum facility in Berea, Ohio

His signature project for the past 25 years is the WORLDS CHILDREN PEACE MONUMENT (WCPM), it stands as a tribute to this mission of a sustainable global culture of peace for all living things on Earth - the Worlds Children.
The WCPM is an original sculpture conceived during EXPO 2000, the Worlds Fair held in Hannover, Germany by American Cultural Ambassadors David and Renate Jakupca. It was designed and built by David Jakupca at the historic ARK in Berea Eco-Museum as a project of the International Center for Environmental Arts (ICEA) in cooperation with the United Nations 2000 Culture of Peace Program. The concept of a physical permanent universal symbol of renewal and living peace for all living things was organized in support of the UN Decade of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World and the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. The incorporation of the rights of flora and fauna in a "Universal Peace Equation" is the first major change in achieving a sustainable global Culture Peace on Earth in over 2000 Years.

The WORLDS CHILDREN PEACE MONUMENT (WCPM) is the cornerstone of the National Coast-to-Coast GREAT AMERICAN PEACE TRAI, designed to create jobs, stop the violence and unite America, his stone sculpture became the catalyst for peace outreach around the world and his efforts earned high recognition from local and global institutions.

David has presented at over a dozen major United Nations conferences, influencing education, policy, and sustainable development across continents. His philosophy and work continue to shape the global dialogue on peace and ecological balance.

David's life is a living testament to the ideal that Veterans can lead not only in War, but in Peace. He transformed his over 50 years service into an enduring contribution that fosters dialogue, empowers communities, and builds a better future for generations to come.

For his lifelong dedication to peace, environmental justice, and cultural transformation through art, David Jakupca is a truly deserving recipient of this prestigious honor.

The peace projects have direct community impacy through neighborhood beautification, community and economic development while building self-esteem and hope in America. They will help to build better neighborhoods where everyone can live, respect and accept each other as they diplomatically negotiate errors and differences of prejudice and hatred and instill in its place the belief in the necessity of communication.
