At the time Alex was born Jonathan Barnes was teaching 700 miles away in the highlands of Kenya where he lived for three years. On his return to the UK, Jonathan worked in secondary schools before going with his family to teach English in rural Malaysia. When he returned to Britain his wide personal interests in Art, Music, History, Geography, Design Technology, Religious Education and Citizenship led him towards primary school teaching and curriculum design. In 1992, Jonathan became head teacher of a popular and successful primary school in Canterbury. In 2000, he joined the staff of Canterbury Christ Church University as a lecturer and researcher. As part of his job, he co-led 10 study tours for teacher trainees to communities in south India, Sarawak and Tanzania. This work in non-western cultures led him to recognize shared experience of kindness, hope, compassion, friendship and many other human and humanising values.
Jonathan has written several widely-used books on cross-curricular approaches, but the values within which the school curriculum and ethos is conceived is his overriding concern. Inclusive values and a concern for improved social and psychological well-being have framed his research studies. Jonathan was elected a university Teaching Fellow in 2014 and chosen by the UK's Higher Education Academy as a National Teaching Fellow in 2015. He is now Visiting Senior Research Fellow of Canterbury Christ Church University.

Alex was born into a family of cattle herders, semi-nomadic, pastoralist people in South Kivu in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Growing up, he survived extreme violence on a terrifying scale and lost many members of his family. His hunger for education took Alex to a school where he encountered countless incidents of xenophobia and physical attacks on him as a member of a minority ethnic group. He witnessed the 1994 genocide in Rwanda and subsequent violence fuelled by ethnic hatred in Africa's Great lakes region. Later, he became involved in humanitarian work for UN-related Non Government Organisations, in an orphanage for children who survived the genocide and groups trying to stop child soldiering in the DRC.
Due to continuing threats to his community in the DRC, Alex travelled to the UK and sought asylum there. Overcoming major cultural and language barriers, he went to college and university and gained an MA in the Anthropology of Conflict, Violence and Conciliation at the University of Sussex. He has written a book, Not My Worst Day, about his experiences in Rwanda, Burundi and the DRC. He is currently an independent researcher and consultant in political and security analysis (DRC) and a PhD researcher at the Conflict Analysis Research Centre, University of Kent. Over the last fifteen years, he has occupied responsibilities in the public sector (community cohesion), international development and community and university partnerships. He has been involved in political mediation for civil society organisations in conflict-affected areas. He is a popular speaker providing insights into issues of migration, war, security, cultural insensitivity in conflict resolution.
