The 9th Multidisciplinary Academic Conference in Prague 2017, Czech Republic
This book advances knowledge about the implementation of peace and non-violence strategies in education that counter violence. Addressing both hidden and direct violence, it examines the harm to wellbeing and learning through a unique exploration of the role of teachers, and confronts the roots of violence in educational settings. Presenting and critiquing a range of pedagogical tools, case examples, and research, it examines how various methods can be used for identifying and proactively responding to conflicts such as injustice, discrimination, and prejudice, among others. Contributors present case studies from a range of global contexts and offer cutting-edge research on the applications of these resources, and how they contextualize peace education. An essential read for educators, teacher educators and peace scholars, it crucially offers pathways for confronting and healing from violence in both formal and informal sites of education.

Ultimately concerned with how citizenship education for peace can be enriched through interdisciplinary learning, this edited volume reveals the role of peace education in global citizenship by illuminating instruction for comprehensive citizenship. A truly international collection, this volume offers timely insights from countries including Argentina, Mexico, Spain, Canada, Bangaldesh, Korea, Zimbabwe, and Timor Leste as it provides critical, in-depth analyses of peace-oriented instruction in formal and informal settings.

La moral és pública i cultural. No hi ha moral privada. Qualsevol cultura, en un moment determinat de la seva història, té uns «marcs normatius», això és, una sèrie de principis, lleis, costums, hàbits, valors. que organitzen els comportaments dels seus ciutadans en les seves vides quotidianes. L'educació, en aquest cas, té la funció de transmetre la moral a les noves generacions. Tanmateix, els autors d'aquest llibre creuen que l'ètica no és la moral. A diferència d'aquesta, l'ètica és la resposta a la demanda del rostre de l'altre, una resposta que se situa en els marges de la moral, en els límits del bé i del mal.
With the prevailing violent conflict situation of our world, perpetuated sometimes even in the name of religion, humanity today faces extinction. To reverse this ugly trend, humanity has no choice than to build a society where every tribe and tongue can coexist in peace. This work analyzed the violent conflicts from anthropological, behavioral, politico-philosophical, and theological perspectives, and makes a demand on humanity to save herself through proper education and dialogue with all men and religions. Lotanna Olisaemeka is a researcher in Missiology affiliated with the Philosophisch-Theologische Hochschule, Vallendar, Germany.
La moral es pública y cultural. No hay moral privada. Toda cultura, en un momento determinado de su historia, posee unos "marcos normativos", esto es, una serie de principios, leyes, costumbres, hábitos, valores... que organizan los comportamientos de sus ciudadanos en sus vidas cotidianas. La educación, en este caso, tiene la función de transmitir la moral a las nuevas generaciones. Sin embargo, los autores de este libro creen que la ética no es la moral. A diferencia de ésta, la ética es la respuesta a la demanda del rostro del otro, una respuesta que se sitúa en los márgenes de la moral, en los límites del bien y el mal.
