Decolonising Peace Education in Africa

What are the different knowledges and values that underpin peace in Africa?

How can these practices be connected and compared across countries to decolonise African peace education?

The Decolonising Education for Peace in Africa (DEPA) project answers these questions using Arts and Humanities methodologies and, for the first time, provides new data on how peace is understood within displaced and marginalised communities across the continent.

State-of-the-art knowledge has been gathered by connecting researchers with artists and activists, educators, community workers and communities that  have experienced conflict across Africa - to create curriculum content for both informal and formal settings, as well as Secondary and Higher Education (HE).
