As the name suggests, we are an educational peace charity. We inspire people to lead more peaceful lives by participating in our educational programmes. This enables them to better understand conflict and by doing so to reduce or eliminate violence from conflict situations affecting them.
Through these innovative educational programmes we are reaching young people who are on the fringes of society, excluded or at risk of social exclusion and helping them to re-engage in learning and social opportunities. We are tackling grass-roots problems in communities which are suffering from racial tension and violence borne out of inter-community prejudice.
We are the only organisation in the U.K working with victims and survivors of political violence such as those affected by the Northern Ireland ?Troubles', 7/7 bombings, Bali or Madrid as well as ex-soldiers who served overseas.
Our website will tell you more about our work and how you can help us continue to encourage people to use dialogue, rather than violence, as a means of resolving conflict.
