Objectives and Activities
The overall objective of the proposed "Peace and Disarmament Education" programme is to contribute to the transformation from cultures of violence into cultures of peace. It specifically focuses on the demilitarization of mindsets and the reduction of the level of violence - especially gun violence — among young people in selected.
To achieve this goal, the proposed project aims to develop community-based peace education programmes, reflecting the assets and needs of civil society. It will achieve the following results:
- Development of an effective peace education curriculum, drawing on local experiences and resources and the collective wisdom of community leaders;
- The design and implementation of a teacher-training programme based on this curriculum to be offered to all of the teachers in the designated schools;
- Utilizing the trained teaching staff and the programme's peace education curriculum, the integration of peace education programmes in elementary and secondary schools;
- The design and implementation of an extra-mural or non-school-based peace education programme for the broader community.
The Department of Disarmament Affairs and the Hague Appeal will aim to achieve these results through appropriate programme activities. [ Zip & Download ]
