Book club—Civil resistance: what everyone needs to know
February 9, 2026
CFSC believes that education is both a personal and societal act of transformation. It shapes the values and capacities our communities express in response to the pressing challenges of our time.
Many people are deeply committed to the same principles that guide CFSC’s work. Yet financial barriers to education limit who can participate in building the just future we seek. By supporting students pursuing education in fields that align with our areas of work, we invest in the long-term flourishing of a more peaceful and equitable world. Our new educational bursaries recognize the potential for students to be change-makers.
In addition, when students engage in rigorous study and research within our areas of concern, their findings expand the evidence-base that informs our advocacy.
All student applicants need to be dedicated to understanding, promoting, and supporting peace in all its forms—personal, interpersonal, and structural—and preventing and transforming violence. This opportunity is available to fund both academic and non-academic learning for both Quakers and non-Quakers based in Canada. Find out more at https://QuakerService.ca/Bursaries
