Objectives

The goal of Education for Peace is to build a lasting foundation for inter-group and inter-ethnic peace in those regions where the ravages of war, terrorism, prejudice, rapid socio-economic and cultural change and the demands of modern life have created conditions of insecurity and conflict in families, schools and communities. The objectives of Education for Peace are:

1. To equip the participants in various programs offered by Education for Peace with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and confidence to resolve conflicts peacefully and to create violence-free environments in their schools, families and communities-at-large;

2. To create mechanisms for teachers, students, administrators, support staff and parents, to actively participate in the building of inter-ethnic harmony, democracy and a culture of peace in the school community and wider society;

3. To assist traumatized children and adults in the process of psychological recovery by creating a culture of healing in the participating communities;

4. To evaluate the effectiveness of the EFP program in participating communities and to share this knowledge with other actors in the fields of education and peacebuilding.
