Abstract

The article addresses the issue of education for peace in the context of individual experience, based on the description of the life and activities of the American activist Jane Addams, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931. Both, her everyday activity, which is interpreted as creating positive contexts for the prevention of military conflicts, as well as the later pacifist’s radicalism, constitute an integral attitude of opposing war as a solution to disputes, and treating war as a justification for defending peace in the world. Her experiences from a century ago become a "lesson" for us today that educating for peace does not mean forcing declarations or copying stereotypes, but is a process of sincere discussion and changes taking place in the maturing reflectiveness of individuals and groups over the values created within the entire human community, including the role of women in it.

Keywords:

Jane Addams, lifelong learning, democratic values, the concept of “positive” peace
