Insight Peace Education Project
Preventing Violence through Youth Education
Armed conflicts currently impact 39 societies worldwide. Over 60,000 children fight in these wars while countless others are affected by resulting hunger, disease and displacement. Peacetime crises like domestic abuse, terrorism, and gang violence are at critical levels in nations around the world. Without alternative frameworks, children grow up learning that conflict is best addressed with weapons, and cycles of violence continue. The Insight Peace Education Project champions the prevention of violence by providing conflict resolution education to primary schoolchildren and their communities. With our pilot program in Uganda, we are working in coordination with local leaders, state officials and international stakeholders to launch an innovative approach to a visionary goal: give every child on Earth the tools to create peace.
