307 | Grounds for Peace | Making Soldiers out of Children: Is there Space For Peace in Schools | Ellis Brooks

In partnership with the 2020 European Peace Colloquy, Project Zion Podcast is bringing you interviews with the presenters. Today, we welcome Ellis Brooks to expand on his presentation, “Making Soldiers out of Children: Is there Space For Peace in Schools?"Having worked as a teacher and a campaigner, Ellis Brooks has been delivering peace education since 2005. Working with Quakers in Britain, Ellis works with partners like the Peace Education Network to strengthen peace education in Britain. This has in part meant challenging and recognising the militarisation of education, while advocating for positive alternatives including conflict resolution education and global learning.Register for the rest of the 2020 European Peace Colloquy hereWatch Ellis’ presentation for the Peace Colloquy hereThanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.
