A specialized training program designed to equip higher education faculty in Asia with the knowledge and skills necessary to develop and implement peace education curricula.

Peace education is an essential task of moving a society to a culture of peace. Where and how this education happens within society is a matter of strategic priority when resources are limited. Through interactive online-based learning, participants will bring their existing wisdom to the task of thinking through the design, content, and facilitation aspects of peace education for different ages in their settings. This course will involve work outside the synchronous learning sessions. Participants will be presenting their work to the group throughout the course. Using various taxonomies of learning (Bloom’s revised version and Webb’s Depth of Knowledge) participants will focus on the changes that peace education will bring to attitudes, behaviors and context.
