This website provides information on people from Aotearoa New Zealand who have made significant contributions to non-violently promoting peace.

From this site you can download a booklet that can be used in groups to reflect on the lives and actions of these peacemakers.

This NZ History website has a full list of the names and reasons of WW1 Conscientious Objectors from New Zealand. Here is a news story about the list.
