Participation in disarmament campaigns. The School for a Culture of Peace is a regular participant in various campaigns for disarmament and control of the arms trade.
Analysis of DDR programmes. The School aims to analyse Disarmament, Demobilisation, and Reintegration (DDR) programmes on an international scale in order to contribute to a more global view in peace building contexts.
Participation in the International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA). In recent years, hundreds of organisations all over the world have been preparing to carry out an international campaign to eradicate small arms and their proliferation.
Participation in the EU COST 25 research project.
The School's Disarmament Programme was established as the Spanish representative in the European small arms in the perpetuation of violence project, promoted by the European Commission and with the participation of research centres in EU member states and other countries (Norway and Switzerland), and representatives from governments and NGOs.
The programme produces various publications on a non-regular basis and press releases with recommendations on the arms trade, analysis of military budgets and other disarmament related issues.

The Disarmament Programme covers different disarmament related areas but concentrates on microdisarmament, control of weapons exports (both in Spain and worldwide) and Disarmament, Demobilisation and Reintegration (DDR) programmes for ex-combatants. It also aims to study the concept of Security in depth, moving its focus away from the idea of the military security of states and instead focusing on aspects that are more directly related to people. The emphasis is therefore on economic, food, health, environmental, personal, community and political security, according to the definition established by the UNDP in 1994.
The various activities carried out by the programme are listed below. For more information, please contact: albert.carames@uab.es
