    What is Peace Education?

    Peace education is the process of acquiring values, knowledge,


    attitudes, skills, and behaviors to live in harmony with oneself,
    others, and the natural environment.

    There are numerous United Nations declarations and resolutions on


    the importance of peace. Ban Ki Moon, U.N. Secretary General,
    dedicated the International Day of Peace 2013 to peace education in
    an effort to focus minds and financing on the preeminence of peace
    education as the means to bring about a culture of peace.Koichiro
    Matsuura, the immediate past Director-General of UNESCO, has
    written that peace education is of "fundamental importance to the
    mission of UNESCO and the United Nations".Peace education as a
    right is increasingly emphasized by peace researchers such as Betty
    Reardon and Douglas Roche. There has also been a recent meshing of
    peace education and human rights education.

    Why peace education is important?


    Peace education is a primary pillar for preventing armed conflict and
    violence, saving lives and freeing up limited resources for social
    needs.
    Opportunities for reform and positive change often arise
    simultaneously during and after conflicts, as peace
    education initiatives helps educators teach the next generation to
    better understand and address problems that can undermine the rule
    of law and prepare students to serve as the next generation of leaders
    in creating a more equitable society.
    Peace education is a primary pillar for preventing armed conflict and
    violence, saving lives and freeing up limited resources for social
    needs.

    How can we achieve peace education?

    P.E.A.C.E. works to help teachers, children, and families learn and live
    nonviolent approaches to conflict resolution for public and private
    personal and community issues. In our peace education approach we
    work to develop the attitudes, understandings, and methods of
    nonviolent action needed to build peace, caring, justice, and mutual
    respect within ourselves, others, and in our environments.
    This peace education approach is embodied in our workshops at
    NAEYC Conferences. We are continuing to try to convince NAEYC that
    P.E.A.C.E education must be the foundation for its new position
    statement on violence in the lives of children.
    E.A.C.E. also works with public officials when issues arise that relate
    to meeting the needs of children and families for security and well-
    being.

    What are the key themes of Peace Education?

    These include nonviolence, conflict resolution techniques,


    democracy, disarmament, gender equality, human rights,
    environmental responsibility, history, communication skills,
    coexistence, and international understanding and tolerance of
    diversity.
