Organisation description: Demilitarise Education (dED_UCATION/dED) is a community and guide for modern day peacemakers, working to see universities break from the global arms trade and become champions for peace. We use research, media and community to further untangle, expose and end university partnerships with the military and defence sector, and see them focus their efforts on peace development.
So far, we’ve created a demilitarisation model and treaty, the world’s first university and arms database, and a growing community space which provides a safe and inclusive platform for young people to build their knowledge, skills, confidence and collaboration with other peacemakers.
Demilitarise Education Model means: The process of gaining signatures to the Demilitarise Education Treaty (phase 1: engagement), working with universities to ratify that agreement (phase 2: ratification) and then make the changes needed to demilitarise and become champions of peace (phase 3: implementation).
