We are actually living in an era of
unprecedented violence in a varied
forms viz. ,
Terrorism, War, Crimes,
Injustice, Oppression and
Exploitation
These indescribable atrocities that are
inflicted by man on man because of
religion or caste or colour is the
result of the wrong education
imparted all over the world.

PRESENT NEED
• The prospect of these
children absorbing the spirit
of violence and growing into
being the next generation of
preparation of violence
cannot be ruled out.
• Hence the need of the
hour is nurturing

Peace
Within The Hearts

A- Inability of the
Education system in
building bridges of
unity and peace

Education is the core of
fundamental social change in
our world.
Today's education is transfer
of knowledge from the
notebooks of the teacher to the
notebooks of the students.
Inability of the education
system to unite the world and
promote peace makes it
inefficient to influence and
shape society that values social
justice, respect for others and
a belief in the dignity and
rights of every human life.

Through education we focus on the
following points:

 Foster a culture of peace through
education.
 Promote respect for all human rights.
 Advanced understanding, tolerance and
solidarity.
 Support participatory and the free
follow of information and knowledge
through INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY.
 Transform both individual lives and
society into self motivating agents of
social change.

“ Education is the manifestation of the perfection
already in man.”

- Swami Vivekananda

 It is only through our concentration on children’s
EDUCATION that we can meet the challenge of increasing
trends of terrorism, violence, wars and insecurity.
 There is a need to create the consciousness of world peace and
foster friendship and harmony among all people.
 The inner peace that dwells in the heart of all human beings
need to be awaken.
 The content of education of a young child greatly determines
his mindset and ultimately his future success.

STRATEGY-I
“Education is not the filling of a pail,
but the lightning of a fire.” - William Butler Yeats

True education should be of three kinds:
 Material
 Human
 Divine

The four building blocks of meaningful education:
 Universal Values
 Global Understanding
 Excellence in all things
 Service to the world

STRATEGY-II
Such activities aim towards building bridges of unity and constructing the
defences of peace in the minds of the students and also the public at large.

SGA
CISV CAMPS
(Develops cross-culture interaction)

Global Voting
(Develops concern about the rights of children and a
sense of responsibility for the global community)

Mock World Parliaments
(Develops the global understanding)

World Unity and Peace Seminars
(Develops concern for world peace amongst public)

World Peace Prayer
(promotes world peace)

Divine Education Seminars
(creates awareness in parents about meaningful education)

International Children’s Events
(creates a new mindset and feelings of love and understanding
towards all the people of the world)

SQCC
(Inculcates quality among students and helps in
developing as Total Quality Person (TQP))

STRATEGY-III
In
keeping
with
the
requirement of the times,
consideration should be given
to teaching the concept of
world citizenship as a part of
the standard education of every
child.

WHY THE CONCEPT OF
WORLD CITIZEN IS
IMPORTANT ?
•
•
•

•
•

Releases
enormous
financial, technical, human
and moral resources.
Practical strategy for
sustainable development.
Develops global vision to
become conscious citizens
of the country and the
world.
Promotes human honour
and dignity, cooperation
and the desire to serve.
Breaks the barriers
between people and opens
up the possibilities for
global co-operation.

STRATEGY-IV
Technology may be used mainly to make
global education available to all people.
The Internet and computers are offering an
opportunity for continuous learning and
creative commandment ; mainly huge bodies of
knowledge assemble individually and globally.
Individuals, communicate closely with all
peace organizations and peace workers to
facilitate the forming of united world wide
network to bring about the establishment of
world peace.

STRATEGY-V

parents to provide their children a
comprehensive education building their intellectual, physical,
social, and spiritual growth with a global outlook.
They will realize that education is not merely book learning, it is
the whole process of rejuvenating the mind and developing values
like honesty, sincerity, truthfulness etc.
They will understand the aim of meaningful education which is
redemption of mankind from
 its Godlessness
 its Ignorance
 its confusion and
 its conflict
Guide

and

motivate

STRATEGY-VI

“School must be a lighthouse of society”
Debates and CSP’s on World peace should provide guidance
and direction to students, parents and society.
Active participation of individuals from the society in these
seminars will create a sense of responsibility and concern for world
unity and peace.
Promote a change in thinking, a change in the system of values.
World Peace Prayer in seminars and conferences will help to
build a culture for world peace.

STRATEGY-VII
“In order to unite the world we must give up our
prejudices, our own small, trivial notions; an open
receptive mind is essential”
Removal of prejudices is necessary to
 Establish respect for other religions.
 Accept that others have different beliefs.
 Develop respect of secularism.
 Understand cultural differences.
 Appreciate unity in diversity.

STRATEGY-VIII

 Priority should be given to moral education over physical and
intellectual education.
 It should therefore be universally proclaimed, taught in the school,
and constantly asserted in every nation as preparation for the organic
change in the structure of society, which it implies.
 It will inculcate the necessary qualities like honesty, universal
brotherhood, hard-work, that are extolled in all religions.
 More than bookish knowledge, practical knowledge on basic
human values alone can shape our students into a global citizen in the
of the world.

STRATEGY-IX

 Schools should educate every child to become good and
smart and rich in moral values that make a ‘Total Quality
Person’ (TQP).
 Initiating the TQP concept in education inculcates quality
awareness in students and they become self-motivated agents of
social transformation.
 Children will develop analytical abilities, confidence in
oneself, willpower and goal setting competency, serving the
best interests of the community.
