	PEACE EDUCATION CENTER \| Philosophy
		Peace Education is now the subject of UN policy, research and training by UNESCO, the Council of Europe and ministries of education, various universities throughout the world and a worldwide transnationally conceived and conducted NGO Global Campaign for Peace Education.
		The Philosophy of peace education is in the Dewey tradition, seeking to prepare learners for active and responsible citizenship in the process of addressing the problematic.
		Peace education openly acknowledges its purpose as education to facilitate the achievement of peace and a related set of social values, largely through learning to recognize, confront and practice alternatives to multiple forms of violence.

	IPCRIs Peace Education Project
		Education for peace is the best vehicle to ensure that the next generation of Israelis and Palestinians will have the skills, the knowledge and the motivation to create a truly peaceful Middle East.
		The educational system provides no means for students to confront the main political realities that dominate their lives and as such must search for answers outside of the formal educational framework.
		Educational text books on political issues must be inclusive of a range of opinions and positions and must challenge the students to look beyond what they already know and believe.

	Which way to peace?
		The initial emphasis in peace research was on direct (personal) violence, that is violence directed by one person on to another as in the case of assault, torture, terrorism, or war, looking more at conflict than at peace, with the result that peace was defined negatively as merely the absence of war (negative peace).
		Education for peace is one field which is clearly attempting to grasp this nettle in a creative and imaginative way.
		Education for peace, by definition, has to be child-centred (valuing the person) and reconstructionist (valuing positive peace), both of which seem particularly appropriate to the turmoil of the late twentieth century.

	Peace of Westphalia - Education - Information - Educational Resources - Encyclopedia - Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Peace of Westphalia, also known as the treaties of Münster and Osnabrück, is the series of treaties that ended the Thirty Years' War and "officially" recognized the United Provinces and Swiss Confederation.
		The peace negotiations were after initial talks held in the cities of Münster and Osnabrück, an alternative favoured by Sweden (Hamburg and Cologne being the French alternatives).
		It is often said that the Peace of Westphalia initiated the modern fashion of diplomacy as it marked the beginning of the modern system of nation-states.

	Betty Reardon: Human Rights as Education for Peace
		Peace education, a worldwide movement, is a diverse and continually changing field, responding to developments in world society and, to some extent, to the advancing knowledge and insights of peace research.
		So it is that peace education and peace studies (as the field is known in universities) has been a bit of a "downer" for all but those students who are either "positive thinkers" by nature, drawn to social action fields, or simply curious about the study of the "impossible".
		Positive peace, conceptualized by the peace research community to extend the definition of peace beyond the limitation avoidance or absence of war to include issues of justice, poverty, and freedom, is the concept of peace that is the foundational principle of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

	Peace Education (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Maria Montessori called this "cosmic education" which in today’s terms could just as well be termed holistic education or peace education.
		As I have come to see it, holistic education is education that recognizes and encourages the unity and harmony of all elements of the Universe.
		It seems to me that as we begin talking about the importance of peace education, we need to talk about learning to understand this core of peace within ourselves, and then move out into the world in proper relationship to the peace within all others and all elements of the Universe.

	Peace Matters
		One of the strengths of peace museums is that they can reach out to and involve a broad general public, many of whom might not be involved in the peace movement per se.
		The number of peace museums increased greatly in the 1980s and 1990s and the international network of peace museums is still expanding.
		Peace museums can challenge the dominant view that violence is inevitable by depicting peacemaking in all its manifestations, from the school playground to the international community.
