Abstract

Education for peace has become extremely urgent for the world today. For the first time in human history both humans and other living beings in the world face the threat of obliteration. We live in a world where violence has almost become a way of life. We are not only increasingly violent towards each other but also towards nature. We seem to be living in a dark age. The crucial question is: can we save the planet and ourselves? We can if we are willing to re-discover ourselves. Rediscovering ourselves is through reeducating ourselves. Reeducating ourselves means rediscovering a peace that comes ultimately from within.
