Description

  • Programme 
  • The world has never needed peace education so much. Peace education is a challenge facing not only schools, but also societies locally, and globally.  The most important assumptions and goals of peace education can be achieved by simply basing the didactic process on the principles of modern teaching philosophy and methodology within the framework of the lessons taught, as this is the next step in thinking about modern, effective, attractive didactics. 
  • Peace education is the next stage in the evolution of our thinking about teaching and learning strategies possible to implement in various school subjects. It is a new integrated educational model based on cognitive and constructivist concepts, as well as Universal Design for Learning (UDL) or Universal Instructional Design (UID), where diversity is the norm and the teaching process should be adapted to the different abilities and needs of learners. 

Learning objectives

  • Exploring the role of peace education in addressing various crises facing today’s schools

Methodology & assessment

The Peace Education: Methodology of the XXI Century course combines theory and practice through interactive workshops, group discussions, role-play scenarios, outdoor activities, and collaborative projects. Teaching modes include hands-on activities like Photovoice (using photography to capture community perspectives), reflective group exercises on diversity and inclusion, and role-play for conflict resolution. Participants also work on curriculum integration projects and develop actionable plans for peace education initiatives.

Assessment is non-graded and focuses on participant engagement and reflection. Facilitators provide feedback on group activities, collaborative projects, and individual contributions. The course concludes with group reflection sessions, allowing participants to share insights, evaluate learning outcomes, and identify next steps for implementation.
Every participant needs to complete a Needs Analysis before taking the course.

Materials, digital tools & other learning resources

The course utilizes a range of materials and digital tools, including printed guides, peace education toolkits, and interactive resources for diversity and inclusion. Digital tools such as collaborative platforms and photo-editing apps are used in the Photovoice method, allowing participants to document experiences visually. Participants receive a comprehensive packet of ready-to-use materials, online resources, and guidance for continued implementation.
