Learning for Peace
Created by
This guide aims to engage and motivate primary teachers, leaders and support staff to build Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC) development in their school. It is built around the concept of a spiral curriculum, visiting themes relevant to SMSC development at different ages and with varied complexity and depth.
It is divided into two parts:
- Part 1: Foundations for Peace lays out the theory. What is peace education? What is SMSC? What is the relationship between the two? It introduces five themes that form the framework for the approach and has suggestions on planning, auditing and assessment.
- Part 2: Toolkit for Peace is the practical aspect and includes techniques to deliver the work, plus over 70 activities, games and 'Big Questions' which can be used to further develop the skills of enquiry and debate.
