are central to peace education. Nonviolence
is manifested through values such as respect

justice is realized by principles of equality,
responsibility, and solidarity.

include nonviolence, conflict resolution
techniques, democracy, disarmament,
gender equality, human rights,
environmental responsibility, history,
communication skills, coexistence, and
international understanding and tolerance of

of all ages, in both formal and informal
settings. Programs exist at local, national, and
international levels, and in times of peace,
conflict, and post-conflict.
