Opis

For the last couple of decades, a number of initiatives of peace making, peace building and peace education have been taken by different organisations and institutes with the goal to stop or counter war. Again, we see that the twenty-first century encompasses hideous forms of aggression, ecocide, ethnic cleansing, genocide, modern warfare, poverty, disparity, sexual abuse, terrorism and various other shades of the negative. These factors can be identified as either or both as the cause or outcome of war. However, along with the various forms and factors of the prevailing danger of war, we have also witnessed a parallel history of the development of peace education. This peace education attempts to stimulate or enhance the knowledge, skills and attitudes of the populous from early childcare into adulthood, and discusses pathways to peace and the dreadful consequences of war.
