Teaching for Peace - Web sources for peace and social justice education

" - Ralph Waldo Emerson If our schools today are to produce truly global citizens, then that puts a heavy burden on educators to stimulate critical thinking about the critical issues of the day – war and peace, global conflict and inequality, issues of gender, race, class, and so on. It’s a long list. Teaching for Peace is a new web resource where we bring it all together, and provide easy-to-use, practical classroom lessons as well as comprehensive links to resources for peace education. With Canada at war in Afghanistan, there’s no time like today to get your students involved in a dialogue about the big issues.

DISCUSSION: peace quotes

There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall — think of it, always!” “I claim to be no more than an average person with less than average ability. I have not the shadow of doubt that any man or woman can achieve what I have, if he or she would make the same effort and cultivate the same hope and faith.” “It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.” “It is unwise to be too sure of one’s own wisdom. “One needs to be slow to form convictions, but once formed they must be defended against the heaviest odds.” “Nonviolence which is a quality of the heart, cannot come by an appeal to the brain.” “We must be the change we wish to see in the world.” “We may never be strong enough to be entirely nonviolent in thought, word and deed.

International Day of Peace, 21 September

The General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples. The Day’s theme for 2016 is “The Sustainable Development Goals: Building Blocks for Peace.” The 17 Sustainable Development Goals were unanimously adopted by the 193 Member States of the United Nations at an historic summit of the world’s leaders in New York in September 2015. The new ambitious 2030 agenda calls on countries to begin efforts to achieve these goals over the next 15 years. It aims to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all. The Sustainable Development Goals are integral to achieving peace in our time, as development and peace are interdependent and mutually reinforcing. Sustainability addresses the fundamental needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
