Youth and Education

“A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special.” – Nelson Mandela
Peace Works values education – the ancient, traditional and modern wisdom transferred between generations. On our programs, the relationship between “learner” and “teacher” is inverted, revealing the many ways that knowledge and skills can be mastered across cultures. Our travelers use a variety of methods – visual literacy, TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) and entrepreneurial education to connect with young people in our diverse destinations.
