GCPE Newsletter #50 - December 2007

The International Institute on Peace Education (IIPE) 2008 will take place from July 28 to August 4 in Haifa, Israel hosted by the Jewish-Arab Center of the University of Haifa and the Center of Critical Pedagogy of Kibbutzim College of Education. The event is being co-organized by the above hosts and the Peace Education Center at Teachers College, Columbia University in partnership with Global Education Associates. The Theme of IIPE 2008 is “Critical Pedagogy: Educating for Justice and Peace”. The IIPE will deal with issues of dialogical education for social change and the intersection of peace education and critical pedagogy, relating to the question of what kind of peaceful society we are striving for. Peace Education in Israel has concentrated mostly on the Jewish-Arab conflict. Various names describe it: education for co-existence, Jewish-Arab encounter, dialogical groups, neighbors, living with the other, etc. In groups where Palestinians and Israelis sit together and discuss their relationships the historical narratives are often learned. In other parts of the world, however, peace education is called by different names according to the political constraints of the region.

This year's IIPE will try to examine the complexity of peace education issues in an unequal society. It will strive to explore goals of equal education, schooling despite the pressure of violent conflict, economic justice, the challenges of environmental violence, structural violence, and ties of politics and education. The IIPE core inquiry will focus on the concept of education for a culture of peace and the social change needed to achieve it. We will seek to examine the link between local-regional problems, global issues, and universal developments, and look for ways to address them in education. Relevant sub-themes include the relationship between social violence and armed conflicts; issues in education that most affect marginalized populations such as the poor, women, migrant workers, and people with disabilities; the need to raise awareness of global environmental justice issues, small arms control, nuclear threats, poverty, first–third world power relations and the global campaign against sex trafficking. Thus, the upcoming IIPE will explore innovative ways and educational strategies to enhance social critical consciousness and methods of activism through education.

Dr. Sakena Yacoobi Receives the 2007 Gleitsman International Activist Award

The Center for Public Leadership (CPL) at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government presented the 2007 Gleitsman International Activist Award to Dr. Sakena Yacoobi, a long time IIPE contributor and community member. Yacoobi is the founder and executive director of the Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL), which she established in 1995 to provide teacher training to Afghan women, to support education for boys and girls, and to provide health education to women and children. CPL executive director Donna Kalikow commented “Dr. Yacoobi’s commitment to improving the lives of Afghan women and children through education and literacy is a contribution to the improved welfare of all Afghanis, regardless of gender. We hope that the world will find inspiration in her story.”

Until the fall of the Taliban in 2001, AIL operated underground, supporting home schools for more than 3,000 girls, and was the first organization to open Women’s Learning Centers which taught women to become economically independent. With the adoption of a new Afghan constitution, women have been allowed to return to work and some have been appointed to prominent positions in the government. AIL now serves 350,000 women and children each year and employs about 415 Afghans, over 70% of which are women.

Upon learning of her selection for the award, Dr. Yacoobi said, “When an award is given to any Afghan woman, it is really given to all Afghan women. It gives us hope and courage and we know that the world has not forgotten us and, despite our troubles, we know that we will continue to study and become educated, work and support our families and continue the struggle for our human rights.”

“Peace Education at Bosphorus University” – Kudret Cobanli

(*This article was published by the Bia News Center on 12-24-07)

The Bosphorus University in Istanbul, the oldest and most prestigious state university in Istanbul, has opened a Peace Education Practice and Research Centre. The aims of the centre are to have curricula and educational material for all levels prepared by academics, researchers, artists and students in collaboration, to organize peace education for students, educators and NGOs, to give seminars on peace journalism, and to prepare research and publications. University Rector Prof. Dr. Ayse Soysal spoke at the opening ceremony on 18 December, saying: "Understanding the differences between individuals, groups and cultures is only possible with dialogue, and dialogue is something that can be learned. Peace education aims at teaching young people how to solve problems without violence, with dialogue." . . . . "Peace education like preventative medicine" Nur Bekata Mardin and Jennifer Sertel, both members of the new centre, talked about the foundation and aims of the centre. Mardin likened peace education to "preventative medicine": "If the money spent on armament and war had been spent on teaching people the culture of peace, it would have been possible to create humane, healthy, sustainable and economic solutions to problems rather than using violence."

“Inclusion of HR education in curriculum stressed”

(**This article was published by The New Nation – Bangladesh, 12-10-07)

At a seminar held in Bangladesh speakers laid emphasis on inclusion of human rights education in the curriculum of schools with a view to ensuring human rights of all. Since the international community declared International Human Rights Day when the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of the Human Rights in 1948, human rights have repeatedly been violated across the globe, the speakers added. The seminar was organized jointly by National Association of UNESCO clubs in Bangladesh and Foundation for Peace and Conflict Studies on "Human Rights in Bangladesh" on the occasion of the Human Rights Day. The secretary of the Bangladesh National Commission for UNESCO, Dr Md. Mahmudul Hassan, chaired the seminar. The chairman of Foundation for Peace and Conflict Studies presented a keynote paper on 'Human Rights and Peace Education: A New Vista for Development Action'. Zaglul Ahmed Chowdhury, in his speech, noted that people have to govern themselves within the parameter of laws, and the state must help ensure fundamental human rights of the people. "Unless we are confirmed about our rights in the society, we could not claim as citizen of the country," Zaglul Chowdhury said adding "side by side with ensuring of human rights, people with disabilities must be brought under the process."

“Liberia: MOE, UNESCO Strengthen Peace Education Activity”

(*Originally published in The News, Monrovia 12-19-07)

The Ministry of Education in partnership with the United Nations Education Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), held a one- day roundtable mapping exercise with stakeholders and implementing partners on strengthening peace education in Liberia. The exercise, held Monday in the conference room of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), brought together over eight participants from various NGOs to brainstorm and discuss on progress of Peace, Human Rights and Citizenship education (PEHED) among Liberians. Speaking to this paper following the roundtable talks, the Officer-in-Charge of UNESCO, Dr. Ahmed Ferej said PEHED is designed to be taught in all schools across the country beginning with elementary through senior high. He said the program has been incorporated into the curriculum and materials are being developed to ensure that it is ready by the beginning of the 2008/2009 academic year. "The next aspect that is now required is training of teachers in order for them to adequately teach the subject to the students," Dr. Ferej indicated. For his part, the National Coordinator of PEHED, Cllr. Viama J. Blama said the program has made numerous achievements since it started. Cllr. Blama pointed out that three regional resource centers have been established with one at the MOE and named in honor of ailing Catholic Archbishop Michael Francis; the second is in Grand Gedeh County and named in honor of Dr. Ahmed Ferej, while the third is in Bong County in memory of Nehgesha Kebede, former UNHCR Country Representative. The PEHCED National Coordinator said 500 copies of the human rights manuals were written and printed for teachers, while the Peace Education manuals of UNHCR printed 10,000 copies. The Consultant of Peace Education at the UNHCR, Ms. Pamela Baxter said the practical approach to the process is to establish more branches of the awareness throughout the country.

“Striving for peace: Private school breaks new ground with ninth-graders”

(*Originally published in The Boston Globe – 12-13-07)

The Hillside School in Marlborough is a private boarding school for 150 adolescent boys, which might not sound like the most peaceful place in the world. Yet for a three-month term, its ninth-graders have a new addition to their curriculum: peace studies. Peace studies programs are usually reserved for the college level, or as an elective course for seniors in some high schools. Hillside's peace studies class appears to be one of the few in the nation required for students at the freshman level. "This is incredible, that it's a required course," said Joseph de Rivera, director of the peace studies program at Clark University in Worcester. Teaching the course to ninth-graders probably "is going to be a challenge, but there is nothing intellectually they couldn't handle," he said. Classes that teach peacemaking skills, such as conflict resolution and peer mediation, can be found in other middle and high schools, but Hillside's class is unique in that it delves heavily into global issues. "They have a thirst for talking about these social issues, really in a profound way, and they haven't had an opportunity necessarily to do so," said Matt Laliberte, who teaches the Hillside course. The school's push toward peace education this fall was prompted by a visit early in the year from Colman McCarthy, a former Washington Post columnist and founder of the Center for Teaching Peace, who has spent much of the past 25 years advocating peace education and teaching classes. "Students have the right to be informed that other ways to solve conflicts exist without violence. That should be basic information at every grade level," McCarthy said. "We teach math every year, we teach science every year - why are we not teaching peace every year?"

PA declines proposal to revise UN resolution

(*originally published on Haaretz.com 12-7-07)

The Palestinian Authority has declined a proposal for a revised United Nations resolution promoting educational activities supportive of the peace process. In 1983, the General Assembly passed a resolution tasking its information department to deepen global knowledge regarding the Israeli occupation and violation of Palestinian's human rights. Israel and the U.S. opposed the resolution as unbalanced. Following the Annapolis conference, Israel, France and senior UN officials approached the PA with a proposal to tweak the old resolution to secure Israeli support for its ratification. The Palestinian delegate rejected the offer. (Barak Ravid) Full article: http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/932123.html

Inclusion of ‘Peace Education’ in Curriculum Eyed (Philippines)

(*Originally published in MindaNews 12-9-07)

A leading state-run university in Mindanao is considering the integration of "peace education" in its curriculum. Dr. Grace J. Rebollos, the newly installed president of Western Mindanao State University (WMSU) said peace education is part of her agenda of making the university an instrument for promoting a "culture of peace" and for answering to the call of development for social uplift.

"We are actually considering three possible things to happen here, whether we will incorporate it in all subject areas or offer a new subject for this purpose or open a separate degree for this," Rebollos said during the recently conducted Mindanao Educator's Congress held at the Garden Orchid Hotel here. If realized, it will make WMSU the first university to offer peace education in the region if not in Mindanao and one of the few schools across the country to do such.

Political & Economic Empowerment of Sierra Leone Women

(*Originally published in Awareness Times, 12-6-07)

In discussing the empowerment of women it was seen that by organizing themselves and taking collective action women would get increased control over access to resources thus reducing gender disparity or narrowing the gender gap. In the political and ideological dimension, narrowing the gender gap implies increasing women’s participation in the democratic process. The democratic process addresses the entire body of the political, economic, social and cultural dimensions of human endeavour; democratic values embody participatory principles within society. It is this participatory aspect of the democratic culture that is gaining momentum in Africa and which needs to be sustained with emphasis on women’s participation.

Peace Education in the Field

“Indigenous Peoples (IP) Perspective on Interfaith dialogue and Peace Education”

(*Excerpted from a presentation given at the " Mindanao Community-based Institute on Peace Education" 11-28-07)

…For the Lumad or indigenous people of Mindanao, Peace is an outcome and an evidence of our faith in action, Peace is our way of life. Thus peace is not regarded as an opportunity nor a privilege but it is a responsibility where everyone in the community should take a part. In IP communities, culturally every action and decision is geared towards the attainment of harmony in the society be in small villages or large settlements. For this reason, in the olden days, the tribal chiefs were highly regarded not due to their material possessions, but they were revered because they were masters in the art of Conflict Resolutions. We have a jail-less society, yet it did not breed criminals, and terror, never reigned in our territories. If chaos now reign in our lands, it is not our own making but by those who have interest on our domains and wanted to have power over us.

From the point of view of those who live and nurtured by “culture of violence,” we Lumads are the weakest among the tri-people of this island because we do not resort to violence as a way of asserting our rights. there are groups, or many groups who think that we do not deserve assistance because sometimes in a middle of a struggle, we tend to deviate our ways to maintain peace among us. To those who always equate struggle with winning, we seem to be a failure. What we are perceived to be, depends on the color of the glass of those who perceived us…
