Who we are: https://ded1.co/about/

Demilitarise Education (dED_UCATION/dED) is a community and guide for modern day peacemakers, working to see universities break from the global arms trade and become champions for peace. We use research, media and community to further untangle, expose and end university partnerships with the military and defence sector, and see them focus their efforts on peace development.

So far, we’ve created a demilitarisation model and treaty, the world’s first university and arms database, and a growing community space which provides a safe and inclusive platform for young people to build their knowledge, skills, confidence and collaboration with other peacemakers.

We conduct research on university partnerships with arms companies, the MOD and UK military, to turn findings into media content and leverage evidence to pressure universities to make a public commitment to start to demilitarise.

We are currently runing a series of 6 weekly workshops (which repeats = a cycle). This is a group process of learning and contributing, if you wish to contribute data or media individually please feel free to do this using our resources and support.
