Teachers for Peace-Global School Program The major goal of the United Nations as set for the Article 1 of its Charter is “to maintain peace and security”. But before its establishment, there were two World Wars and many civil wars and wide spread exploitation and oppression of people by the people in the governments and the outside of the governments, and this practice of injustice is still prevalent everywhere. And even since its inception on 24 October 1945, there have been 9 conflicts, and each took at least a million lives. Nearly 110 million deaths are estimated in the 20th Century. Today the United Nations is facing the problem of ‘genocide’ and ‘ethnic cleansing’.

Perhaps we have the answer here. As we learnt in All The President’s Men, the rule for uncovering political corruption is “Follow the money”.

As we reach the 100 tours milestone (well, we're technically on tour 101 now, but still...), our Founder & Exec. Director Sharon Booth reflects on what we've learned and what our priorities are in 2024 and going forward. In particular, what does it mean to be an educator, and how to contribute to difficult, polarising but important topics like Israel-Palestine. "It is the job of the education sector to give young people the opportunity to make informed decisions on how they want to think about and approach this issue. It is also their legal obligation. Government guidelines about impartiality on political issues are clear, and teachers certainly should not be advocating for political positions in schools. This is why Solutions Not Sides is an educational methodology that does not take a political position on anything to do with this issue, but instead provides a values framework, and a skills-based approach." Read the full post on our website, and let us know below your thoughts on the role of educators in the current climate. How do we approach issues like this as educators, when there is pressure to take a clear stance one way or another? Does our values and skills-based approach always work? We'd love to know your thoughts! https://lnkd.in/e_awZnfn

🇮🇳 Republic Day: Honoring Constitution & Education 📜🏫 On this Republic Day, let's salute our Constitution – the backbone of our democracy. 🙌 Our schools are vital in instilling constitutional values in the next generation. 🧑🏫📚 🌐 Global Citizenship we encourage learning that connects our youth with global values. 🌍 👩🏫 Teacher's Role we applaud the teachers shaping responsible citizens. 👏 🤝 Unity in Diversity we celebrate diversity in schools, fostering tolerance and harmony. 🌈 🔗 A Brighter Tomorrow Empowering our children with knowledge for a promising future. 🌟 We need to also ponder "Constitution is actually a set of basic Rules of a Nation" For any country to remain Republic from the very early years every child should be explained the importance of freedom and yet being in boundaries of rules and laws. Most common rule to be broken/ followed with a child along can be jumping the trafic signal, in a hurry or when no one is watching ☺️.. What one rule you appreciate as an adult you learnt as a child and still follow..with your freedom as an adult of a democratic country.. #RepublicDay #Constitution #Education 🇮🇳
