EXPECTED OUTCOMES:
We will achieve a statement of principles on key aspects of peace education which will provide guidance towards a vision and action to improve peace education. We will address peace education recommendations and issues identified by
(1) the U.N. Culture of Peace Program,
(2) the Hague Appeal for Peace Global Peace Education Campaign,
(3) the Report of Canada on Education for Peace, Human Rights, Democracy, International Understanding and Tolerance, and
(4) other key issues identified by conference participants.
We also expect a mechanism to emerge to ensure that the recommendations from this conference will be acted upon and not "gather dust". Participants will benefit from networking opportunities, and the opportunity to gather valuable information that will help in their day-to-day peace education practice.
CONFERENCE GOALS & OBJECTIVES:
1. Create a forum for networking and idea sharing among stakeholders by providing leading-edge sessions on a wide variety of peace education issues.
2. Address holistic peace education at the individual, family, community and world levels, as they are interrelated and can support each other.
3. Encourage collaboration of existing structure, and filling in gaps or needs where they exist. It is imagined that linking these organizations can
provide quite a lobby and collective for economies and efficiencies of all sorts.
4. Provide the venues for these multidisciplinary groups to facilitate communication, networking, trading information, etc.
5. Put peace education on the Canadian agenda, with the goal of getting it integrated into Canadian curricula of all schools (including higher
learning) before the end of this Decade.
6. Encourage many, many Peace Education leaders
Facilities are limited to 350 participants, so please book early. Since space at the Conference is limited, registration must be on a first-come, first-served basis. To register, follow the link to http://www.peace.ca/registration.htm
