Session 6: Your journey as a peace educator

Introduction

One little person, giving all of her time to peace, makes news. Many people, giving some of their time, can make history.

(Peace Pilgrim, 1964, p. 22)

Every member of the school community can be seen as a peace educator in some way, including the children and young people themselves. In this final session of the course you will consider adults as peace educators. For this it’s important to think carefully about your starting point as well as the support you have from colleagues and wider organisations. As you grow as a peace educator, take each step at a time, celebrating each achievement on the way.

By the end of this session, you should be able to:

  • have a greater awareness of yourself as a peace educator and where you might develop further
  • have an idea of where to start in your journey as a peace educator or peace school
  • have an idea of who you might contact, or what you might read to support that development.
