Activities

Education for a culture of peace, the cornerstone of our activities, has the dual objective of providing the means for delivering quality education, and for building a sustainable culture of peace, both in daily life and in the wider world.

It enables teachers to teach better, students to learn better, and communities to understand each other better.

There can be no sustainable reduction in violence without cultural change. Striving for a culture of peace in our own lives, and extending it to our societies, provides the foundation. But this is not enough: the key is to design and produce resources and training, to equip teachers and everyone involved in teaching and motivating children to interact peacefully.

This is why education for a culture of peace is the method recommended in Target 4.7 of the Sustainable Development Goals, for delivering quality education, encompassing education in citizenship and sustainable development.

Full Quality Education - What it is

Everyone dreams of Quality Education:

Parents for their children, teachers for their students, leaders for future generations, companies for their future staff - and, above all, children.

We all hold the hope that each student will be successful in its education, be driven by human values, develop his-her full potential, know how to prevent violence and replace it with dialogue, and become a citizen who proactively contributes to sustainable development, to societal harmony and towards a better world. Especially, each student hopes to succeed and be recognized for his-her qualities and accomplishments.

Research & Development

Graines de Paix’s Research & Development work brings together the latest in both quality education developments and culture of peace education methods for improving young student’s school success, reinforcing their personal development, preventing violence and promoting proactive peace behaviours.

We are one of the few to combine these two formerly separate domains into one systemic approach, thus providing innovative solutions for teachers, students and all concerned.

Educational Programs for Governments

In conjunction with Ministries of Education we design and implement nationwide and regional programs to mainstream a culture of peace within primary school education systems. We offer countries that are coming out of conflict or experiencing strained community relationships, programs that position their education system as the foundation for peaceful societies and better living together.
