Join us at Geneva Peace Week 2024
A Must-Attend Workshop for Educators and Change-Makers!
In an increasingly globalised world, where schools and communities are facing rising tensions, discrimination and xenophobia, it is essential that education empowers children with peace-building awareness and skills and nurtures ethical values.
Join us during Geneva Peace Week 2024 for a dynamic, interactive workshop “Addressing discrimination and xenophobia in schools through ethics education,” designed for all those passionate about transforming education into a positive force for peace. The workshop particularly engages teachers, policy makers, as well as education practitioners, and students.
Whether you attend in person in Geneva or online from anywhere in the world, this session is an unmissable opportunity to explore how transformative pedagogy can help foster peaceful and inclusive societies through ethics education and dialogic classrooms.
Why Attend?
