Free, trauma-informed classes in English, maths, languages, exam prep and the arts, for children and adults affected by war. Taught by volunteer educators across the world.
From Kyiv to Damascus to Kabul, Teachers for Peace runs local chapters in three countries shaped by war, each one a classroom where learning continues against the odds.
One online English class for children sheltering from war grew into a full programme of languages, maths, exam prep and kids' clubs, and the global movement that followed.

In 2022, as war reached Ukraine, a single online class gave displaced children somewhere to keep learning. That class became a community, and the community became Teachers for Peace.
Today our volunteers teach across Ukraine, Syria and Afghanistan, reaching students in more than twenty countries with free, trauma-informed education.
"Education is the path to peace and to a better future."
And we're still growing, with new chapters opening as more educators step forward to teach.
