Advisory Board

The DEPA Advisory Board includes membership across a range of organisations and institutions and has been established to guide and influence how the project achieves its vision and objectives.  The Board members will advise on research approaches and will create links between the DEPA project and the communities within Africa and the UK, the education sector, peace education and the Arts.   

The Board will also act as an advocate for the DEPA project and together the Advisory Board and the Project will share networking opportunities.
