Meet our Education Assistant Volunteers
We were delighted when, early in 2021, Santiago Forero and Sarah Croft joined us as Volunteer Education Assistants. We are very grateful that they are continuing a member of the team in 2022.

“We mustn’t continue strengthening war, either with our young people or economically”.
Sarah Croft

In her work for Education For Peace Sarah researched and wrote our first factsheet about Conscientious Objection during the First World War, and shared in the researching and writing of a number of factsheets.
​
“Small steps are better than no steps and together we will end violence”.
“While studying my Masters I have been exposed to the devastating impacts war and conflict has on everyday life. Living in the UK I have been very fortunate to not see violence growing up. As people of privilege, we should share the voice of the voiceless. I believe everyone has the right to live a life in which they do not live in fear”.​
