2. Peace Education
Education for peace is important in fragile contexts. It can help children deal with
the trauma of war, manage and address conflicts and build dialogue processes for
enhanced understanding of "the other". It is equally important in more stable
societies, like in the Netherlands, where a recent influx of refugees has fueled
negative feelings towards migrants and inter-community tensions are having a
harmful impact on the social fabric of society. Or in Australia, where the emphasis
is on social cohesion and building a successful multicultural society out of
significant cultural and religious diversity. Evidence suggests that such an approach
can contribute to reducing racism, discrimination and prejudice.
