Education for Peace and Development is a cornerstone initiative of the Development of Sustainable Peace Foundation, aimed at cultivating a culture of nonviolence, tolerance, and mutual understanding. Through inclusive, transformative learning, the program empowers individuals—especially youth and marginalized groups—with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to resolve conflicts peacefully, participate in civic life, and contribute to sustainable development.
It integrates peace education into formal and informal learning settings, emphasizing critical thinking, empathy, respect for diversity, and global citizenship. The initiative also strengthens local education systems by training educators, developing context-specific curricula, and supporting community-based peacebuilding efforts.
By linking education with peace and development goals, the program not only addresses the root causes of conflict but also fosters resilience and social cohesion. Ultimately, Education for Peace and Development is a strategic pathway to build inclusive societies and ensure long-term peace and prosperity for future generations.
