Picture 4

"But one day countries became enemies. War began. People killed each other and countries were destroyed. People felt very sad.”

For the teacher
Why peace and not war? Because war brings an end to life. Peace education is not about just telling children how bad war is, but is about living in peace with each other in the classroom, and also to develop a creative way of solving problems and dealing with conflicts.
If you don’t put your hope in children, what will become of the future?
(article 3 and 28 UDHR)

Concepts

Peace education
To deal with conflicts

Suggestion for activities

Identify and open-up learning situations where conflict of interest between the children arises. Let them discuss, look for solutions, look for alternatives, look for strategies other than fight and the use of power to solve the problems.
