OxPeace 2017: Peace Education in Central Africa: A public health intervention

Increasing resilience against violence is the aim of Aegis Trust’s peace education programme in Rwanda. Achieved through building empathy, critical thinking, trust and commitment to action, the programme was integrated into the Rwandan National Curriculum in 2016. Aegis works with the Rwandan Education Board to train teachers and develop learning and teaching resources. Rwandan educators are adapting their approach as a tool for prevention in unstable states, notably in Central African Republic.
