Further learning

Something to read

1. The Museum of Peace [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)] at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland has been founded to help people explore and visualise peace. Their website notes that:

We aspire to peace, we idealise it – but we don’t spend as much time exploring and reflecting on it as we do with war.

The website has much to explore, but for now you may find it helpful to explore the section Pockets of Peace, an idea that might be useful as you and your educational community explore what peace means to you.
