Overview

Peacemakers is the working name of The West Midlands Quaker Peace Education Project. Established in 1987, it is based in Birmingham England situated above the Quaker Peace Hub in Central Birmingham. Quakers have a very longstanding commitment to peace and the work of the charity comes out of this. Check out our Resources section for many helpful tools for educators.

Our work is grounded in the Quaker practices (known as testimonies) of peace, simplicity, truth, integrity, equality and the environment.

Peacemakers works for positive peace: more than the absence of conflict but the presence of peaceful beliefs and behaviours, of justice and inclusion as well as non-violence.

We respect every individual and value everyone’s contribution and actively reject discrimination of any kind.

We see education as a means of developing human potential, and healthy relationships as a foundation for learning.

We value quality in all our work and see learning as a lifelong experience. We are always seeking to improve our work – evaluation and innovation is therefore of central importance to us.

We value creativity in responding to the unique needs of each group.
