#190 Imagine With Anna Lubelska

in ,

Anna Lubelska is the initiator of The Peace Building charity and Chair of Trustees. Anna is motivated by the horrendous wartime experiences of her Polish family. Touched very personally by the devastation of war; she has been active in peace work all her adult life. She was awarded the Medal of Gratitude by the European Solidarity Centre for her international work in the 1980s supporting the movement for freedom in Poland.

Anna is the Founder of the global Peaceful Schools Movement – helping schools to create peace within and beyond the student community.Her book, ‘How to be a Peaceful School’, was published in 2018, and she now presents awards to participating schools; celebrating projects that effectively promote peace – both conceptually and practically. Her next step in the journey towards a peaceful world will be the establishment of The Peace Building in London. It will be a global centre of excellence in peace education. In the meantime – there is a virtual peace museum.

Anna’s career was in local government and the charity sector. She worked for the National Children’s Bureau, The Association of London Government and local authorities in London and in other parts of England, as well as setting up charities and organizations and being the trustee of several charities. After retiring, Anna has set up Spiritual England, become an Ordained Interfaith Minister working as a hospice chaplain as well as holding funerals and memorial services including one at the Treblinka Extermination Camp in Poland, for her grandmother Maria Lubelska who was murdered there during WW2.


On today’s episode, Anna and I engage in a thoughtful conversation regarding the significance of respecting the essence of children. We delve into the profound influence this can exert on their journey toward becoming individuals who possess an innate inner strength and a genuine connection to their authentic selves.
