While exploring ideas of peace, war, nonviolence, conflict resolution, mediation, human rights, development, and social justice, Peace and Conflict Studies (PACS) students often wonder where their degree will lead after graduation. While many graduates gravitate toward careers in law, international development, governmental policy, and teaching, more and more students are embracing an entrepreneurial spirit and are creating their own jobs in the peace industry.

WATERLOO – The Ripple Effect Education (TREE) is a peace education initiative based out of the Frank and Helen Epp Peace Incubator in the MSCU Centre for Peace Advancement. Starting in the classroom, TREE aims to create peace-literate citizens with demonstrable conflict resolution skills and awareness of justice issues locally and globally. TREE programming will empower youth to think critically and evoke change in their communities. They will hone soft skills like communication, teamwork, and       empathy.
