Peace education programme update

31/8/2023

0 Comments

Peace Partners' volunteers around the UK are busily working on outreach strategies for TPRF’s Peace Education Programme (PEP) [Peace Education Program - Offer the Workshops] to be introduced to a variety of organisations and institutions. This includes educational settings because we’re working closely with TPRF on the development of their version for schools, colleges and universities.

You’ll see on our website [www.peacepartners.co.uk] that one of our aims is ‘Working towards a world where everyone has access to personal peace’. We work to achieve this aim for the UK by partnering and collaborating with other organisations.

We’re expanding our Partnership Team which will lead to stronger links with other organisations who may wish to work with us on the subject of personal peace.

This year we’re working with Celebrate Life to extol the benefit of PEP to individuals and to offer PEP to interested parties. We’re helping Celebrate Life to fund screenings of their film Power to Change [Power to Change] and to provide material for the promotion of PEP at their events.

We’re working closely with two colleges and a university for the possible implementation of PEP for their students. Students at a previous PEP that Peace Partners delivered said:

“‘The finest achievement in life is to be in peace’, I found that very inspiring, and I think it’s something a lot more young people should realise, because life isn’t about money, it’s about finding inner peace and happiness.”
“I think the video really shows that despite the fact society might be so negative, the change depends on you really, and instead of thinking ‘oh why did nobody do something about that’ - be that person that did something about it!”

Volunteers for Peace Partners recently provided support for peace education at a wonderful event in Greenwich, south London. Read more here

nutritious food and personal peace'.
