Abstract

The aim of the article is to highlight the significance of new media in educating for peace in an ever-changing and uncertain world. The text emphasizes the importance and educational potential associated with technological development while defining the threats that accompany and are linked to the pervasive presence of new media in human life. It underscores that educating for peace in the world of new media constitutes a significant pedagogical challenge. New media increasingly define the level of critical reflection associated with all cultural, social, and technological transformations. Discovering and promoting the values of peace in the world of modern media occurs in entirely new spaces and perspectives. Through the use of modern technology, new media have generated a new sphere of human life, enabling deeper and more thorough reflection on peace education, among other things. Unfortunately, alongside the opportunities that new media have generated for peace education, there are also threats that society must address.

Educating for peace in the world of new media is a dynamic process that requires continuous development and engagement. It's a task not only for schools or educational institutions but a challenge for the entire society. Therefore, the responsibility rests on all entities involved in broadly understood education.
