About the Peace Education Network

Print    Email

The Peace Education Network brings together education practitioners and others committed to promoting Education for Peace in schools and the wider community.

The Network organizes an Annual Conference and coordinates approaches to curriculum development. It also promotes the effective distribution of Education for Peace resources and hosts the online PEN Resource Catalogue.

The member groups of the Peace Education Network produce educational resources, hold workshops, provide speakers, advice and training and hold a range of peace education events in the UK.

Within the Network there are a variety of approaches and different groups focus on different areas. Some are national groups, others are regional; some groups are secular, others are faith-based; some focus on international issues, others on interpersonal and community relationships.

Who we work with

  • Young people in the UK of all ages and backgrounds.
  • Policy makers – education officers, head-teachers, heads of departments and school governors.
  • Practitioners – those involved in delivering both content-based education and skills-based training.
  • Peace activists, youth workers and campaigners – those who want to explain what Education for Peace is and how it can be introduced into the school curriculum and other learning environments.

Together we work towards a peaceful world by encouraging the development of knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for exploring, making informed decisions about and exercising responsibilities and rights in a democratic society.
