Educating for Peace works with the school system to build a peaceful, just and sustainable world for our children. We know that peace education helps students to transform conflict in their own lives, understand and respect other cultures and ways of living, and treasure the Earth.



Teachers of peace education encourage their students to cooperate with each other, think critically, solve problems constructively, take part in responsible decision-making, communicate clearly, share their feelings and commitments openly. These skills and values are essential for survival in an increasingly interdependent world, where violence has become an instrument of policy, yet still breeds more violence.
