Currently being used in more than 2000 schools across Bosnia-Herzegovina, Canada and the United States, the EDUCATION FOR PEACE CURRICULUM MANUAL is designed as a conceptual and practical guide for educators and policy makers at primary, secondary, and higher education levels. The Manual presents 10 units on concepts that are integral to a comprehensive approach to creating a culture of peace, a culture of healing, and a culture of excellence in our school communities. The text covers, among other themes, the concepts of oneness of humanity, unity in diversity, and human rights and responsibilities, as well as the skills of peace-based conflict resolution, leadership for peace, and creating environments conducive to psychosocial recovery from the destructive impacts of conflict and violence. Each unit includes educational tools for teachers, including: - Core concept summaries - Key questions for understanding - Interdisciplinary lesson samples and activity ideas - Tips for effective classroom instruction - Reflection and assessment guides - Links to online sources for further exploration of key themes Available companion resources include the EDUCATION FOR PEACE STUDENT MANUAL (vols. 1 & 2), and the interactive e-learning CD-Rom for students, EFP-WORLD. "As a result of participating in the Education For Peace Program, my way of teaching has changed, my relationships with students has changed, and my relationship with my family has changed...all for the better." - High School Teacher "Education for Peace has helped us look at our syllabus in a different way, from a different perspective, giving us a chance to enrich it with issues not dealt with so thoroughly before. It hasn't always been easy...but we have become more confident in applying the principles of peace." - Primary School Teacher

An informative and engaging collection of 30 papers presented at the 2007 International Education for Peace Conference, hosted by the International Education for Peace Institute, November 14-17, 2007 in Vancouver, Canada. The papers, representing the contributions of academics and practitioners around the world, explore the conceptual foundations, latest research investigations and practical applications of peace education in a variety of contexts. Some 200 participants attended the conference, among them educators, peace education experts, policy makers, community and business leaders, as well as highschool and university students from North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Africa. The purpose of the conference was to discuss how we can educate children and youth at home, in schools, and communities, to become peacebuilders-both as individuals and as citizens and future leaders. This collection of articles provides a substantial and comprehensive review of the latest developments in peace education theory, practice and research, as pursued in the contexts of families, primary and secondary schools, universities, multicultural communities, intractable conflicts, post-conflict reconciliation and peacebuilding processes, civil society, and business and leadership practice. The submissions provide evidence of the intensifying, global search for effective and unifying frameworks of peace education, and the innovative manner in which such frameworks are applied to diverse contexts.
