Preparing for Peace

The Education Programme

This 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.
