Knife Crime
Preventing Harm, Empowering Change
At Pathways Education Project, we are deeply committed to preventing knife crime and protecting young lives. Through early intervention, we offer life-saving workshops that equip young people, families, schools, and communities with the knowledge and tools they need to stay safe and make positive, informed decisions.
Our Knife Crime Workshops focus on the real-life consequences of carrying knives, while helping young people understand the risks and dangers involved. We offer both general awareness sessions and more targeted workshops designed to delve deeper into the mindsets and triggers of those who choose to carry knives.
