Course description

This course provides a critical overview of theoretical and applied principles of Peace Education. It begins by introducing students to historical and contemporary views of peace and security as well as to views of the roots of violence and conflict. There is an emphasis on issues of diversity (religious, racial, ethnic, class, gender) and unity as well as social justice, human rights & sustainability. Students are then introduced to various case studies (community, whole school & classroom approaches) and skills for practical conflict resolution.
