Abstract

The issue of peace is being studied both as an element of scholarship and as an element of everyday life. The formation of human attitudes aimed at accepting the peaceful coexistence of societies and nations is one of the most important goals of education. Building lasting peace in the world is the very essence of education. Education for peace is a long-term process—built on understanding for others, empathy, and brotherly love—that leads to dialogue. This position is close to the vision of Pope Francis, who bases his concept of education for peace on the idea of fraternity and community friendship. The purpose of this article is to show the intellectual references of different visions and concepts of education for peace. Despite occasional differences in the approach to the essence and practical implementation of the pedagogy of peace, the common denominator of these concepts is the good of humankind and the common good.
