8. PEACE BASED EDUCATION
To educate every new
generation of the world‘s
children and youth—with the
help of their parents/guardians
and teachers—to become
peacemakers.

9. Peace-Based Governance:
To create forums for the leaders of the
world at local, regional, national,
international, and global levels to study
and implement the principles of
peaceful governance in their respective
communities and institutions.

10. Peace-Based Conflict
Resolution:
• To offer training opportunities in the
principles and skills of peace-based
conflict prevention and conflict
resolution for citizens and leaders at
local, regional, national, international,
and global levels.

11. What is Peace Education
Peace education is the
pedagogical efforts to
create a world at
peace.
By peace, we mean more
than the absence of
violence (negative
peace) (Galtung).
• Peace in its most
positive aspects
embraces ideas of
justice, global
sustainability and the
eradication of
structures that
promote insecurity:
poverty, hunger,
malnutrition and lack
of access to resources

12. Peace Education:
Teaching individuals the information,
attitudes, values and behavioural
competencies needed to resolve conflict
without violence and to build mutually
beneficial, harmonious relationships.

13. Education for Peace (EFP)
Education for Peace (EFP) focuses on helping
students, teachers, staff, and parents/guardians to
become peacemakers by developing inner,
interpersonal, and Intergroup peace. This goal is
accomplished by emphasis on the acquisition of
unity-based worldviews founded on universal
principles of peace, which form the framework for
all subjects of study.

15. OBJECTIVES OF EDUCATION
FOR PEACE
CULTURE OF PEACECULTURE OF PEACE
CULTURE OF HEALINGCULTURE OF HEALING
CULTURE OF EXCELLENCECULTURE OF EXCELLENCE

16. CULTURE OF PEACE
A Culture of Peace—creating
violence-free, bullying-free,
harmonious, and peaceful
environments throughout the
school community.

17. A culture of healing refers to
an environment that
enables all members of
the school community—
students, parents,
teachers, administrators,
and support staff—to
overcome the trauma they
have suffered,
individually and/or
collectively as a result of
their experience of
conflict, violence, etc.
• A culture of excellence is
an environment in which
pursuit of personal and
group excellence and
critical thinking in all
domains of life—
intellectual, emotional,
social, moral, and
spiritual—is actively
pursued, encouraged,
and realized

18. These three cultures—peace, healing,
and excellence—together comprise the
foundations of a civilization of peace.
Addressing each of these areas in a
systematic manner is one of the unique elements
of the EFP Program
and a reason why it is suitable for all societies—
those that have experienced the traumas of
conflict, violence, and war and those that wish to
prevent such trauma in their respective
communities.
