What is Peace Education?

Peace education develops the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values needed to prevent violence, resolve conflict peacefully, and create conditions for dignity and peace.

Peace Education

Peace education empowers young children through senior adults to understand the dynamics of conflict and peace, and to develop skills in transforming conflict from destructive operations into constructive operations.

When people learn empathy and compassion, careful listening, fair problem solving, nonviolence, democracy, and sustainability, they are practicing core peace education skills.
