Peace education activities promote the knowledge, skills and attitudes that will help people either to prevent the occurrence of conflict, resolve conflicts peacefully, or create social conditions conducive to peace.
Direct approach: Silent sitting, Yoga and Meditation, Value Based Story-Telling
Silent Sitting:

  • Regulates the heartbeat and breath, calms and relaxes, reduces stress and tension in the body, promotes good health;
  • Puts children in touch with their own feelings, facilitating emotional growth;
  • Improves focus and concentration, thus increasing the attention span;
  • Sharpens the intellect and helps develop the intuitive faculty, promoting insight and problem solving skills;
  • Improves memory;
  • It is a tool for self-analysis, which helps in the understanding of personal behaviour and behaviour-related problems, resulting in improved relationships;
  • Reduces distractions and noise during the class.
    Yoga

Peace education is more effective and meaningful when it is adapted to the social and cultural context and needs of a country. It should be enriched by its cultural and spiritual values together with the universal human values.
Peace, as war, originates in the human mind and hence for peace to become a reality, one's mind must be peaceful; in other words there must be inner peace. Yoga is contributive to the achievement of inner calm and happiness.
