Helping Youth Find Their Voices

Is war a core part of human culture? Is violent conflict inevitable and necessary? We don't believe it. At Voices in Wartime, we believe that comprehensive global education can transform the ability of human beings to create a peaceful and healthy world. Our rich curricula and training for educators are designed to help young people speak with their own voices, understand the reality of war, the complexity of change, and the adventure of creating a just and peaceful world. We work with educators and school districts to help students develop critical thinking skills and experience success in learning. Hundreds of educators have attended our workshops, and our programming has reached thousands of students.
