Twenty years of working for peace

QUNO peaceworkers mark twenty years of the scheme

by Caroline Humphries 31st May 2013

Rhiannon Redpath and Owen Everett invited Friends to join them in celebrating twenty years of the Quaker Peace & Social Witness (QPSW) peaceworker scheme with an interactive workshop on Sunday evening.  The two young Friends showed a short film and talked about their own experiences. Friends were challenged to explore different perspectives by walking to different sides of the room if they agreed or disagreed with statements such as ‘women are more at risk in war than soldiers’ and comparing views.
