9th National Global Education Conference
With Global Learning Towards Learning for Peace
Organised by: Društvo Humanitas
If we do not teach our children peace, someone else will teach them violence.
– Colman McCarthy
This year’s National Conference on Global Learning will focus on learning for peace. In the context of current global events and the urgent need for broader efforts to build a society of peace, justice, and equality, we will explore the role of educators in the educational process, which includes learning about a holistic understanding of peace and efforts toward it. Through peace education and upbringing, we can encourage young people to develop universal values that form the foundation of a culture of peace: solidarity, justice, responsibility, non-violence, acceptance of diversity, and equality for all people. In addition, we will strengthen young people’s skills in non-violent communication, critical thinking about various forms of violence and power structures, dialogue, and peaceful conflict resolution, while supporting them in working together to shape a common future that we desire for ourselves and future generations.
