The book A History of Peace – the 20th Century is an outcome of the research carried out within the project by students and teachers for school subjects such as History, Social Sciences, Sciences, Languages, Literature, Religion. This research concluded with the elaboration of materials related to the impact of the peace treaties and the peace-keeping organisations, the leading national figures – promoters of Peace, the history of the Nobel Prizes for Peace, educational policies, teaching strategies and sample activities for teaching Peace.
This volume can be used as an educational resource, reinforcing Peace as a universal value and raising awareness of the role students play in their communities. The golden thread connecting all the gathered materials is our goal to foster a considerable improvement in the quality of the learning environment and to nurture a culture of peace.
Encompassing good practice examples concerning the education for peace and role models for the young generation from the five European states involved in the strategic partnership adds value to the volume. Thus, the European dimension is ensured, and we take a step forward in building a common approach to promote moderation, dialogue, mutual respect and understanding.
Therefore, our book is a pledge to assume and integrate Peace for a fair, balanced society!
