Educazione alla pace e alla cittadinanza e cultura inclusiva

Abstract

The presence of conflicts in various parts of third and fourth world and the increase of terrorism acts challenge all of us in terms of the commitment to a peaceful world. We need to build peace in our minds, as stated in 1945 by UNESCO. But peace education must promote citizenship education in a global per­spective, to create an inclusive society without losers. It’s obvious, therefore, the importance of involving in the process of peace education all subjects: both Institu­tional and forming part of the world of formal education (schools and universities), but also the world's non-formal (family, associations, cultural organisms represen­tation active in various countries, including the churches) and informal, as the mass media and new information technologies, for a planetary humanism in an educa­tional ecosystem. There is need for policy action, national and international, more courageous to have reference to the values of civilization and the imperatives of eq­uity and mutual respect on a universal level and that can leverage strategies of co­operation in which each person and country can feel substantial part of the world.
