- Resumen
The research focuses on the effects of Peace Education in promoting a culture of peace in countries in crisis. The research provides an overview of the general condition of education in the Arab world and highlights the obstacles and challenges. Then it narrows to a more in-depth study by choosing two case studies from Syria. The study helps us better understand the need for an educational program using Peace Education to influence and encourage peaceful approaches and create a more peaceful future. This study demonstrates the need for holistic and empowering curricula to support students’ needs and equip them with the required skills to address day to day challenges of the current situation.
The research methodology is based on primary and secondary sources, including interviews with key figures working in the field and academic references. The research investigates the primary educational system in Syria, highlights challenges, and provides recommendations. It recommends several practical tools to enable teachers to identify peace values in the subjects and implement classroom activities. The main conclusion is that Peace Education can be integrated into a primary school curriculum and pedagogy at all levels. Teachers, school management, parents, education leaders need to communicate and cooperate to reach this goal.
