"Reclamation"

Global Consciousness

Recognising at once the universality of humankind, the multiplicity of world views, the variety of social identities and the diversity of cultural belongings is indeed indispensable to overcome national fixations, ethnic narrow narratives and instrumental ways of perceiving the world, and to redefine our relationship with the environment.

A Complex
Concept
The culture of peace and non-violence is a commitment to peace-building, mediation, conflict prevention and resolution, peace education, education for non-violence, tolerance, acceptance, mutual respect, intercultural and interfaith dialogue and reconciliation.

PEACE
“Peace, intercultural dialogue and global citizenship education through school radio”
CONTEXT
In the new, turbulent international globalised landscape, a central idea emerges: sustainable development calls to rethink our relationship to the economy, to society and
the environment.

Perceptions
How young people perceive and express their vision of peace and
non-violence?

UNESCO
Director-General, Irina Bokova :

“Peace is more than the absence of war, it is living together with our differences – of sex, race, language, religion or culture – while furthering universal respect for justice and human rights on which such coexistence depends”.


Development
needs
The emerging and future challenges of humankind do require collective responses, implying the kind of solidarity that can result only from a culture of peace, non-violence and dialogue which condenses “that which binds” cultures and societies to each other and from within.

Social Changes
A culture of peace fosters sustainable development since it is aimed at helping people cope resiliently and creatively with ethical, cultural, political, environmental and other
social transformations.
