 The Education for Peace (EP) Programme was created to promote and develop EP values and attitudes among people both inside and outside the university community. In accordance with the objective of education against conformism and for critical and transformational awareness, emphasis is placed on the need to educate in and for conflict. A positive outlook on conflict is regained so that strategies and skills are created to enable people to face conflict by non-violent means. Training workshops for young people, educators, council personnel, etc. are provided to this end. The EP Programme staff members also work on community mediation initiatives and participate in the production of educational materias for various organisations. The Programme has also coordinated the campus subject Education for Peace at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) since 2002.  The Final Civil Society Report on the United Nations International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-violence for the Children of the World (2001-2010) reflects the efforts made by more than 1.000 organisations, and their analysis of the current situation of culture of peace. The report, that assesses the outcomes of the Decade of Culture of Peace, has been sent to United Nations’ Secretary General so is can be debated in the General Assembly.  The School for a Culture of Peace has participated in the new book of the international education for peace campaign PEACE LESSONS from around the World. The complete book can be obtained by clicking here.Education in and for conflict. By Paco Cascón |
