PeaceJam

It is the only education programme devised by and involving leading Nobel Peace Laureates who work personally with young people to pass on the their spirit, skills and wisdom, tackling issues ranging from violence, racism, problem solving skills, and conflict resolution.

PeaceJam...

• educates young people in active citizenship
• builds self-esteem in young people
• helps teenagers choose non-violent solutions to their problems
• trains the peacemakers of tomorrow
• helps kids say no to bullying and fighting
• gives them alternative, positive role-models
• and much, much more!

PeaceJam increases young people’s awareness about global issues around violence, war, and peace, and develops their leadership capacity to bring about more peace in their schools, local communities and the world. Every year a different Nobel Peace Laureate spends three days at the University of Bradford. They spend a weekend of debate and activity with young people from around the UK who have the opportunity to talk with them and to ask questions.
