Peace Education Programme (developed and endorsed by UNESCO, UNHCR, UNICEF and INEE)
The Peace Education Programme teaches the skills and values associated withpeaceful behaviours. The programme is designed to enable and encourage people to think constructively about issues, both physical and social and to develop constructive attitudes towards living together and solving problems that arise in their communities through peaceful means.The programme allows the learners to practice these skills and helps them discover thebenefits for themselves so that they psychologically 'own' the skills and behaviours. Toensure that it is a viable programme, it is essential that peace education is not a 'one off' initiative but rather a well structured and sustained programme. None of us learns these behaviours instantly and if programmes to change or develop behaviours are to succeed, they must be both activity based and sustained through a structured and sustained programme.The term peace education can cover many areas, from advocacy to law reform, from basic education to social justice. This peace education programme is designed to develop people's constructive and peaceful skills, values and behaviours. Ideally this complements and supplements the process of peace building, whereby communities and nations develop social and economic justice (and legal reform where necessary).
