Peace education during COVID-19

How can we support peace and social justice teachers?

How can we advance research and promote education in the study of the causes of war and the conditions of peace? Just ask any member of the Canadian Peace Research Association (CPRA).

Peace researchers gathered this week as part of the annual Congress of Humanities and Social Sciences, a virtual event this year hosted by the University of Alberta.

PeaceQuest co-sponsored a presentation titled Peace Education and Engagement during COVID-19. Chairperson Steven Staples presented his research on peace education in the Ontario school system during COVID-19. He outlined the research that resulted in the establishment of the Peace and Social Justice Education Community of Practice in 2021.
