In Time for Educational Poetics the author addresses a discussion in the context of today’s philosophy of education and educational research.

Educational poetics is rooted in the philosophical and aesthetic thought of South Asia, specifically in how contemplative and creative practices re-introduced by Rabindranath Tagore. Educational poetics is the convergence of research in creative contemplation and poetic creation, practices of conscious attention and mindfulness, and practices of peace education and philosophy of non-violence. This book leads to a perspective in thinking about the risks that jeopardize the future of young generations.

Educación para la paz
Tomando en cuenta el contexto de violencia generalizada que ha ido aumentando en la última década en el país, se hace necesario ahondar en la exploración de herramientas alternativas a las meramente punitivas que nos ayuden a reconstruir un tejido social que se ha visto lacerado por años de creciente criminalidad de la que pareciera no haber salida. En este contexto, se plantean algunas aproximaciones teórico-metodológicas que tienen como común denominador la construcción de la paz en la sociedad desde diversas disciplinas y áreas de conocimiento: estudios de paz, resolución de conflictos, educación para la paz, derechos humanos, filosofía, derecho, criminología, conflictología, estudios sánscritos de paz, entre otras. Así, cada capítulo de esta obra aborda la implementación de laboratorios de paz y prácticas no violentas en espacios educativos, en donde sus creadores describen los conceptos y las acciones que han llevado a cabo, desde diferentes disciplinas y enfoques filosóficos, con el objetivo de ayudar a descubrir a niños, niñas y jóvenes que la construcción de una paz sostenida en la sociedad puede ser alcanzada.
