SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT FOR PROMOTING EDUCATION AND PEACE

Most of our knowledge is based on our various experiences. We are not aware of all our experiences. Some forgotten experiences of our past, now buried in the unconscious may continue to form our personality. When what is experience is reflected upon, it becomes knowledge. Therefore, Peace education is the process of acquiring the values, the knowledge and developing the attitudes, skills, and behaviours to live in harmony with oneself and with others. Learning about peace means obtaining knowledge and understanding of what contributes to peace, what damage it does, what leads to war, what does 'peace mean on each level anyway, what is my role in it, and how are the different levels connected? Learning for peace means learning the skills, attitudes and values that one need in order to contribute to peace and help maintain it. For example, this means learning to deal with conflict without the recourse to violence, learning to think creatively, learning to apply the methods of active non-violence or learning to deal with cultural in a constructive way.
