Peace Education Training Manual

“To reach peace, teach peace.” Peace Education is an important pathway toward attaining a culture of peace and an important strategy toward preventing violent conflict. Hence, there is a need to educate the educators, both those in the formal school system and those serving in community-based education programs, about the fundamentals of peace education, to enable them to serve as change agents who can help transform mindsets, hearts and wills. Educators are at the heart of the learning process and have a crucial role in building a critical mass of people who will reject violence as a means of resolving conflicts and who will uphold values of respect for human dignity, justice, tolerance, interfaith and intercultural understanding and cooperation.
