Trainings & Workshops

NOTICE: The Peace Education Center's New York based peace education trainings and workshops are currently undergoing a process of strategic redevelopment. Please contact the Peace Education Center for updates.

Overview

The Peace Education Center, through the Center for Educational Outreach & Innovation ( CEO&I ), offers an innovative set of professional development trainings and workshops for educators, curriculum and policy developers, community-based and civil society organization members as well as other constituencies concerned about the needs and possibilities of education about issues of security, peace and war, human rights, social justice and ecological balance.

The trainings and workshops can be taken non-credit without registering in a degree program at Teachers College, or for credit as a compliment to other programs at Teachers College. It is designed for participants who wish to study at Teachers College for concentrated periods and does not require continual residency.

Certificates of attendance are awarded to non-credit participants upon completion of five trainings including one special workshop offered by international visiting scholars. The trainings provide a substantive base and training in the pedagogy and methodologies of peace education, with emphasis on practical application. All involve substantive and curricular participation by staff from the Peace Education Center.

The Peace Education Center also conducts a series of trainings and workshops at the Teachers College Tokyo Campus. For more information visit their website at www.tc-japan.edu.
