Peace and Disarmament Education
Promoting a culture of peace and non-violence is at the heart of UNREC’s mission. The Centre’s peace and disarmament education initiatives aim to change societal attitudes toward arms proliferation and violence by educating the public about the benefits of disarmament and arms control. UNREC collaborates with educational institutions, civil society, and community groups to integrate disarmament education into school curricula and public outreach programs, empowering individuals to advocate for peace.
These educational efforts target a wide range of audiences, including youth, women, media professionals, parliamentarians, and national authorities. By imparting knowledge on disarmament and non-proliferation, UNREC fosters critical thinking and encourages stakeholders to engage in constructive discussions about the impact of arms proliferation on society. The Centre’s programs help raise awareness of the human, social, and economic costs associated with armed violence and emphasize the importance of collective action to address these issues.
UNREC also utilizes digital platforms and social media to disseminate information and engage with broader audiences, ensuring that its message reaches beyond traditional stakeholders.
