A19 The Creep of Militarism Into Education – the Impact on Young People
Room: MA 544
Movement for the Abolition of War (MAW), UK
MAW Youth workshop will lay out how the military establishment is creeping into UK schools and universities and how a military culture is being introduced to us from a young age. This interactive workshop will allow the participants to start to question how their own military is affecting young people in their country and critically assessing if the military has a positive or negative impact on young people. With the final aim to create a blueprint on how to raise awareness of the general public and to see if there is an alternative.
