This topic is what we need to discuss regularly because Pedagogy and Peace are interrelated. Traditional education mostly followed strict diciplinary rules for the best outcome. However, today it is important to take Pedagogy of Peace under considiration to keep the best education system, teaching and learning practices and also for the peaceful society on the whole. Greetings.

“Towards a Pedagogy of Peace” ….  One of the most urgent   issues  showing how  important problems are settled in a peaceful way. It seems to be connected with cultural diversity. Culture is the sum of essential things that make up the way of life and the way people acquire knowledge in the process of learning.

Hi there,
I am interested in this webinar because I believe we have a great responsibiity as educators in promoting identity, development and growth in our places and I consider everything should occur in "peace". I work with "Project Citizen" and I congratulate you for promoting this in this time when anger and violence is growing and damaging our world in different ways, hope to reach this webinar next month! Is the time GMT? Greetings.

It is totally new to me therefore I'm very excited to attend. Could you please open up a little bit about this topic whether it is teaching in silence? or it is the harmony in peace between the teacher and the students? or it is a kind of lesson that is providing students with some knowledge on war and peace or the answer to the question why quite a few young children grow up in silence/peace while they witnessed the fights of their parents, the sexual abuses and etc...I am so curious to know it. Many thanks
