Peace education

Freeskool is inspired by peace education, which is committed to working to understand each other, and our shared circumstances, but also to develop skills and abilities to confront obstacles to peace. This includes envisioning alternatives and devising and implementing strategies for their realization. Peace education emphasizes learning for transformation that is different from simple change: transformation is a deeper change that affects ways of thinking, world views, values, behaviours, relationships and social structures. Peace education embraces the UN Manifesto 2000 principles; “respect all life, reject violence, share with others, listen to understand, preserve the planet, and rediscover solidarity”.
