Which way to peace? - 0 views

an attempt to maintain consistency between means and ends: 'There is no way to peace, peace is the way'. The stress in education for peace is thus as much on method as on content.

If one is teaching for peace and not merely about peace, a close relationship needs to exist between ends and means, content and form. If one is concerned about developing self-respect, appreciation of others, concepts of justice and nonviolence, they must also be part of the process of learning itself. This puts the teacher in the role of a facilitator rather than in authority, creating a personcentred learning climate which involves much more than just the intellect. Such a climate will encourage participatory and experiential learning, it will involve democracy in action through the development of social and political skills in the classroom.
