La educación como instrumento de la cultura de paz

Abstract

Abstract Nowadays, we need an education for peace that not only fosters the material and technical matters, but also the human. An education which be cosmopolitan, and cross-sectorial and addressed to the human development. Educating, as stated in this text, means put people into motion so that they are actors and not audience. People who are passionate about peace, who learn to use the power of words, ideas and feelings. And above all, people who promote the cultures of peace through their daily actions. In fact, the history and process of the culture for peace highlights the link with the eradication of poverty, of inequalities both among and within nations, as well as through the peaceful transformation of conflicts. If we want peace, we must learn to be peace-loving -people that work and spread peace in their land and in others’.
