Education for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence / Obrazovanje za kulturu mira i nenasilja

QUESTIONS: 1. WHY DO WE NEED education for a culture of peace and non-violence? 2. WHAT NEW KNOWLEDGE do we gain? 3. Is a culture of peace possible in a violent (unjust) world? 4. WHAT DOES the term “culture of remembrance” MEAN, which is a controversial phrase based on a vague mixing of individual and collective memory? 5. WHY ARE culture, multiculturalism, cultural policy, identity policy, preservation of national, ethnic, religious or cultural identity IMPORTANT? EXPLANATION OF THE TOPIC: Building of peace in today's conflicts requires a long-term commitment to establishing connections and relationships across all social levels: relationships that strengthen the resources of reconciliation within society and make effective use of contributions outside it. Peacebuilding is not just work to prevent a return to the conflict of once conflicting parties, but it focuses on the real causes not only of the just-ended war, but of all potential conflicts. In this sense, we can distinguish between a negative peace, that is, the absence of armed conflict and a positive peace that includes justice, equality and other fundamental social and political goods. In a narrower sense, peacebuilding is a process that facilitates the establishment of long-term peace and that seeks to prevent a recurrence of violence by focusing on the causes and consequences of conflict through reconciliation, institution building, political and economic transformation.

KOJA NOVA ZNANJA dobijamo? 3. Da li je moguća kultura mira u nasilnom (nepravednom) svijetu? 4. ŠTA ZNAČI izraz „kultura sjećanja“ koji predstavlja spornu sintagmu koja se zasniva na nejasnom miješanju individualne i kolektivne memorije? 5. ZAŠTO SU ZA VAŽNI kultura, multikulturalizam, kulturna politika, politika identiteta, očuvanje nacionalnog, etničkog, religijskog ili kulturnog identiteta? OBRAZLOŽENJE TEME: Izgradnja mira u današnjim sukobima traži dugotrajnu predanost uspostavljanja veza i odnosa peko svih društvenih razina: odnosa koji osnažuju resurse pomirenja unutar društva i učinkovito iskorištavaju doprinose izvan njega. Izgradnja mira nije samo rad na sprečavanju povratka u sukob nekad sukobljenih strana, već se usmjerava na prave uzroke ne samo netom završenog rata, već svih potencijalnih sukoba. U tom smislu, možemo razlikovati negativan mir, odnosno, izostanak oružanog sukoba te pozitivan mir koji uključuje pravdu, jednakosti i ostala temeljna socijalna i politička dobra. U užem značenju, izgradnja mira je proces koji olakšava uspostavu dugoročnog mira te koji pokušava prevenirati ponavljanje nasilja time što se usmjerava na uzroke i posljedice sukoba kroz pomirenje, izgradnju institucija, političku te ekonomsku transformaciju.
