Interdisciplinary approach to pedagogy of violent conflict and social injustice
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.[1] 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.[2][3] 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".[4] Peace education as a right is increasingly emphasized by peace researchers such as Betty Reardon[5] and Douglas Roche.[6] There has also been a recent meshing of peace education and human rights education.[7]
