DIGITAL PLATFORM

Ubumuntu Digital Platform is an online educational platform developed by Aegis Trust to support the delivery and expansion of its peace education programmes in Rwanda and beyond. A wide range of users, including teachers, youth, students, parents, researchers and policy-makers benefit from this platform’s curated interactive contents, designed to help them acquire skills and attitudes about peace and positive values. With such valuable knowledge and skills, we invite platform’s users to apply them in their areas of influence, to help make change towards sustainable peace in their communities.
