Peace Research & Education Trust
supports research, provides advice and information about the causes and effects of war and violence and ways of peacefully resolving conflict situations.|peace research trust

Learn peace
The education process and its content are not value free and neither is the material available here. The value that underpins the education resources here is the belief that nonviolence is better than violence; that building a culture of peace should be a priority and a part of this process is both to question and to challenge our easy acquiescence in a culture of violence. |learn peace

Conflict resolution
Conflict is a characteristic of human existence. It is part of the dynamic of life that drives us into the future. But it needs to be managed constructively. When associated with violence, destruction and killing, it is no longer a healthy part of living. Violent conflict solves few problems, creates many, and breeds more unhealthy conflict to come. |conflict resolution
