Global Campaign for Peace Education (GCPE)

Members of the Global Campaign for Peace Education will share practical and theoretical considerations and approaches to disarmament education from the local to the global. Panelists from Argentina, Colombia and the United States will illuminate aspects of non-formal, community based disarmament education that foster civic engagement oriented toward personal, social and political change and transformation. Such learning strategies overlap with current UN and UNESCO efforts on Global Citizenship Education, Education for Sustainable Development and Democratic Education.
