Can education make a meaningful contribution to peacebuilding efforts? Is education enough to achieve a lasting peace, or are other factors also necessary? In this episode, Senyo speaks with Timothy Dziedzom Amaglo-Mensah, research assistant at the University of Glasgow and co-host on PeaceEd Chat about his research on “The Purposes of Education in Peacebuilding: Views of Local Peace Actors in Diverse (post-) Conflict Societies.

Timothy elaborates on the distinct ways in which education can foster peace and stability, and shares case studies of successful education initiatives that have promoted peacebuilding and conflict resolution in post-conflict settings. 

This episode sheds light on unanswered questions and provides a deeper understanding of the intersection of education and peacebuilding. Tune in to learn more.
