IPEP currently builds peace education into primary school curricula and after-school activities in northern Uganda, an area which has experienced decades of violence. A dedicated team of local teachers, under the leadership of IPEP Local Expert, Romanson Mathew Komakec, work with students on how to deal with the effects of armed conflict, counter discrimination, and communicate effectively in the face of disagreement.

Drawing on the latest expertise in conflict resolution and communication used by Insight Partners and Insight Collaborative, together with content developed by Facing History, IPEP works with leaders, state officials, parents and teachers to tailor materials to each local context. This gives local people ownership over the program and ensures children, and others in their communities, can apply the teaching to their day-to-day lives.
