What is Peace Education?
I don’t know what exactly it means but I like the way it sounds. I also like philisophy this organization offers http://planetaryproject.com/planet_project/philosophy/ , I think principles of humanism must become essential in any educational system.
Dr. Montessori proposed that we could ensure world peace by producing children who are independent, secure, and at peace with themselves. She wanted to create a peaceful world by enabling each child to become the person he was meant to become. She powerfully advocated peace in Europe and focused on children as the future world leaders. In the Montessori classroom community, cooperation rather than competition is encouraged. There is an attitude of respect for self, others, and the environment that is modeled by the teacher. Children learn the skills of peacemaking and practice conflict resolutions skills.
