EPAF incorporates an educational component into its work, helping different actors already involved in the search, recovery, and identification process understand the elements of a forensic anthropology investigation and the use of international standards.  Educational programs include briefings, conferences and workshops targeting the families of the missing, members of governmental organizations, the greater Human Rights community and the press.  These trainings have been held in Peru, Venezuela, and the Philippines. In early 2009, EPAF will hold trainings in Peru as well as in the Philippines.

EPAF also works with aspiring Peruvian students through voluntary internships, public lectures and workshops, and more recently, by teaching two undergraduate courses at the Public University of Ayacucho.

EPAF is involved in the international forensic community as a founding member of the Latin American Association of Forensic Anthropologists (ALAF) and participates in South-South cooperation and exchange of expertise in Colombia, Venezuela, Guatemala, the Philippines, and Bahrain.
