From the beginning of the 21st century until today, the world has suffered some of the highest rates of violence, which has burdened a large number of countries and regions. Various conflicts around the planet have generated the suffering and displacement of millions of children and young people, often under catastrophic circumstances. The poorest countries are mostly exposed to aggression and lawlessness. While they are being ravaged by internal conflicts, other neighboring countries are largely suffering the destabilizing consequences of such divisions. Indirectly, it affects the lives, dignity and well-being of millions of people. Therefore, learning to live together, with empathy for others, is becoming increasingly important in today's divided and in many ways contradictory world. Peace education is not an isolated program to prevent armed conflict and repression, but a roadmap for saving lives, freeing up limited resources for social needs, and establishing structures and conditions that support the rule of law. Peace education is a preventive action and the key to creating a culture of peace. It is a line that directs us towards acquiring knowledge, constructive skills and abilities for better conflict resolution and management, and advocating for social justice in our communities.
