INSPIRE is a project for young peacemakers. 100 years after the end of World War I, we want to inspire a new generation, not only to prevent war but to build peace.
INSPIRE is a call to action to create a movement of change agents; young people who not only learn from the past but choose to courageously engage with the present so that the future can be different.
Resources are available here to support schools.
The Peace Charter is a commitment for an individual, and perhaps their school or youth group, to commit to working for peace, whether that means challenging the arms trade or confronting racism in their own community. The charter comes with a pledge to take action plus lots of resources and ideas for young people to do just that. We’d love you to encourage schools and youth groups to sign the charter.
On the morning of Friday 9th November 2018, two days before Armistice Day, we will hold a series high profile, simultaneous INSPIRE events that will take place in Cathedrals and other major public venues around the UK and Ireland, designed for children and young people.
INSPIRE is working with partner organisations, who are known internationally as leaders of peace and reconciliation. Our partners include: Corrymeela, Coventry Cathedral, Facing History and Ourselves and The Quakers.
This film features Steve Chalke talking about the vision behind INSPIRE and how you can get involved.
