To a Culture of Peace & Non-violence
The first SangSaeng of 2010, No. 27: To a Culture of Peace and Non-violence, has just been published. Under the International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-violence for the Children of the World (2001-2010), the Second International Decade for the Eradication of Colonialism (2001-2010), this issue of SangSaeng aims to explore related values and issues regarding Peace and Nonviolence that are central to bringing about a mutual and sustainable future, specifically among countries in the Asia-Pacific. Building a Culture of Peace is an active choice that combats war and violence. Kaisa Savolainen, Former Director of the Education Division (UNESCO/Paris), writes of UNESCO’s efforts toward a culture of peace during the past decade. The Focus authors?Scholar Surya Nath Prasad defines peace education as education of the self or developing man’s five elements, Lee Grafton presents a creative way for planting seeds of peace in students’ minds in Australia, and Meri Joyce discusses an innovative project in Japan where a passenger ship undertakes four voyages per year to bring the message of peace to various countries it visits. The Special Report section presents a case for non-violence: civilian peacekeeping forces are an effective alternative to the use of force, citing the power of Mahatma Gandhi’s principle of non-violence. Non-violence is the first principle in the promotion of a culture of peace; it is a key concept in the philosophy of Education for International Understanding (EIU).
