Ways to Peace has been written for teachers to promote the attitudes, values and skills necessary for living in harmony with self and others. Woven in a conceptual framework of inner and collective peace, it stresses the importance of core human values and the values enshrined in the Constitution of India as the building blocks of peace. The contents of the book cover areas like peace concepts and concerns; understanding and dealing with conflicts; exploring and enabling the self; pedagogy for peace; peace perspectives in teaching-learning and taking peace education forward.
The book focuses on attitudinal and pedagogical skills and strategies which teachers can adapt and use in their own contexts. Providing opportunities for self reflection, the book is illustrative, using examples, quotations, anecdotes and cases drawn from classroom and school contexts. The book has been written in simple language to make it more comprehensible and readable.
