EDUCATION/MEDIA
This pathway includes:
Lifelong development of the whole person. Free access to all systems of knowledge. Literacy. Planetary Citizenship. Unfolding of innate wisdom.
At the right side of the Wheel, PEACE THROUGH EDUCATION holds much of the heart of the work of Pathways To Peace, balanced by Religion/Spiritual Teaching on the left. We recognize the value of learning to empower people to act with intelligence, goodwill, and purpose. Education should be available and affordable to every human being. The advent of technology offers opportunities for continuous learning and creative communication, making huge bodies of knowledge accessible to individuals globally. Spiritual (inclusive and ethical) education needs to be developed to support Peacebuilding and Peacebuilders, now and into the future. We need to teach Peacebuilding skills, and to train our young people to be Peace leaders. Pathways To Peace historically has sponsored many young Peace leaders at various conferences and gatherings around the world and through our Pathways To Peace youth delegates at the United Nations.
Historically, one of the most impactive peace education programs was developed by Dr. Robert Muller. Dr. Muller created the “World Core Curriculum” and is known throughout the world as the “father of global education”. Still in use today in schools around the world, his curriculum emphasizes education of every aspect of a human being, so that the individual receives a global and cosmic concept of life and his relationship to humanity, nature, and the cosmos.
