Peaceed Chat

We need to talk about what 'peace' looks like and how formal and non-formal education can help us achieve it. As a lot of research has now shown, people know what a war looks like, and they can easily explain and even draw it. What we seem to find hard is to explain what peace means - except when we define it as 'absence of violence'- and what the role of education and learning in hindering and supporting peace-building is. This podcast focuses on. Imagining and understanding just peace What does positive, just and sustainable peace look like across various cultural and geographic contexts? Why is it important to focus on understanding this diversity and build shared visions? Achieving just peace through formal education How do education systems contribute to hate, divisions, violence, and even wars? How can formal education be reimagined and transformed to instead support building and sustaining just peace? Achieving just peace through non-formal education and learning How do community and youth groups and partnerships across a wide range of partners contribute to peacebuilding?
