Peacemaker Briefings
Our Peacemaker Briefing papers are a series of short articles on a specific peace or conflict subject. They can be used by schools, colleges, universities, churches, peace groups and individuals as sources of information for talks, workshops and discussions.
The papers provide:
- an analysis of the situation

- opportunities for activism
They
cover a wide range of national and international peace and
conflict themes and are available to download below.
Many of these papers are also available as full colour hardcopy. Please contact
