可塑性基础上的和平教育

       和平研究、和平教育与和平建设的目的是引导人们趋向和平，其基础是对人类可塑性的假定，人类可以通过非暴力的日常实践以及重大的非暴力活动进行塑造。因此，我们社会生活的每一个实例（从幼儿园到成人教育）都要体现教育投入和预期结果之间的连通性。他们还必须知道不同社会层面的非暴力功能的知识。最重要的是发现儿童及青少年日常的非暴力经验。在此之前，教师自己必须意识到他们所教知识的连通性。他们必须了解和平研究的最新成果，必须了解和平教育的原则和目标，也必须了解建设和平的步骤。除了了解知识，更重要的是，和平教育者需要坚信和平是教育的目标，因此需要采取和平的教育方式。最后但同样重要的一点，个人要有参与和平建设活动的意愿。和平教育必须是真实可信的。可塑性的问题不仅是针对教育对象，而且包括教育者本身。可塑性不仅通过信息和教导特殊联系来实现，还要借助于批判性的自我教育，通过对个人消极习惯的自我批判性反思，通过对话和持续性扩展我们的应变能力。

     社会运动遍及全球

     和平不仅仅是和平运动的结果。每一个社会活动都可以为和平作贡献。和平活动的内容和数量极为广泛，比如动物保护也是一种和平活动。因此，我们不能只根据“和平”标题来判断和平运动。我们在所有的生活阶段和领域中都有和平的挑战。遍及世界的无数的社会运动就是和平建设的缩影，它们也许是最重要、真正和有效的方式。如果没有这些运动，世界不仅会更差，也许世界就不复存在了。全世界有数以百万计的社会运动，包括个人的、半官方的和制度化的社会倡议运动和组织，还有数以百万计的聚会、研讨会、会议和代表大会，它们努力地防止过去和未来的社会崩溃。这些倡议计划分别基于本地、区域和国际的不同层面。有些组织只有几个人，有的则有数千名参与者或成员的组织。这样就有一个密集的世界网络将世界连接在一起。我们能够发现和欣赏这些广泛存在的社会网络以及团结、沟通与合作，我们对世界就会持有一种乐观态度。

       Peace education on the basis of formation

       The nonviolence that Peace Research, Peace Education, and Peace Building aim to orient people towards is attainable due to the assumption that human can be moulded through activities that make the phenomena of our daily practice of nonviolence apparent, as well as showing us spectacular nonviolent activities. Therefore, each instance of socialisation (from kindergarten to adult education) has to recognize the connections between educational inputs and the expected outcomes. They also need to have knowledge about the function of nonviolence on different social levels. But most important is discovering the daily experiences of nonviolence of children and youths. However, before they teach, the educators themselves have to be conscious of these connections. They need to know and understand the newest findings in Peace Research, the principles and goals of Peace Education and procedures of Peace Building. Much more than knowledge, Peace Education needs the strong conviction that peace is the educational goal and therefore also the educational way.Last but not least is the personal willingness to get involved with creating peace. Moreover, Peace Education has to be authentic. The question of formation relates not only to the addressed people but also to the educators. Formation is not only created through information and teaching special connections but also through critical self-education, through self-critical reflection of personal negative habits, through dialogue, and through continuously expanding our capacity for resilience.

       Countless social movements all over the world

       Peace is not only the result of peace movements. Every social activity is a contribution to whatever peace means. Peace in its broad spectrum of varied phenomena is based on innumerable activities right up to and including animal protection. Therefore, it makes no sense to look for peace only under the term itself. We find the challenges of peace on all levels of life and in all areas. Countless social movements all over the world are the epitome of peace building, perhaps in the most important, genuine and efficient ways. Without these movements the world would not only be poorer, the world might not exist at all. Millions of private, semiofficial, and institutionalized social initiatives, movements and organizations, involving millions of meetings, workshops, conferences, and congresses, have prevented the collapse of our-at times pretty conflict-ridden-worldwide community in the past, and will continue to prevent it in the future. Some initiatives are locally based; others are regionally oriented or have intermational dimensions. Some are organized by two or three individuals alone; others are carried out by thousands of participants. Thus, there is a dense network of movements all over the world which keeps the world together. Discovering and appreciating the reality of such extensive social networking, of solidarity, communication, and cooperation, allows us an optimistic view of our world.
