Preparing for Peace The website of the Westmorland General Meeting 'Preparing for Peace' initiative

The Education ProgrammeThis Initiative has an education programme, involving teachers with both Primary and Secondary teaching experience; this group is translating our lecture series into material suitable for the needs of teachers, pupils, and applicable to targets prescribed in the UK’s National Curriculum. Teachers’ packs provide innovative classes for
teachers of Citizenship, History, Religious and General Studies.
Teachers are directed to the material’s place in the
National Curriculum and will find it designed to support their lesson-plans and
aims; we hope it will expand the ideas and interest of young people, presenting
them with new questions - relevant to their experience of world affairs in the
twenty-first century. Teachers in countries other than the UK will find
the material useful and appropriate to their own systems. SCHEME OF WORK (published as a booklet)The Anatomy of War(A study guide for young people)
