1. EDUCATION IN THE CULTURE OF PEACE
In the face of the social, technological and environmental challen-ges of today, education, focused on developing skills and the job market, has to evolve.
Education in the culture of peace is an awakening of conscious-ness to the unity, respect for and diversity of life. It conveys univer-sal values such as benevolence, empathy, solidarity, justice, sha-ring, and respect for others, difference and the environment.
It allows us to live in harmony with ourself, our peers and the natural environment as a whole.
Finally, it promotes the development of a new consciousness, a shared vision for a common planetary destiny.
2. THE 3 PILLARS OF THE CULTURE OF PEACE
• The unity of life: helps us perceive that life is a whole based on the symbolism of the circle. If we view the human body as a whole in which each organ works for the entire body, then we can extrapolate this understanding to the whole of the Living.
• Respect for the living: allows us to respect the role of each being. The universe being structured and intelligent, each creature has its role to play from the smallest bacteria to the largest of the mammals, through the planets and galaxies.
• The diversity of life: allows us to consider difference as a chance. The chain of the Living is maintained by the interdependence of all forms of life.
3. WHY THE CULTURE OF PEACE AT SCHOOL?
Beyond the absence of wars or conflicts, peace is a state that is disco-vered and cultivated in daily life, in itself, in relation to another and to the environment.
This state of being is the fruit of reconciliation for each moment with oneself, others and Nature.
If we wish to respond to the challenges that Humanity is expected to face and especially to train future generations to face these new reali-ties, we must transmit this new consciousness from a very young age through Living Together in Peace.
4. AND IN PRACTICE ...
MEDIATION
“Regularly mobilize effort for the international community for peace”.“Together, united in difference and diversity, to build a viable world”.
Mediation is essentially a process of ethical communication. Mediators are the humble weavers of the dialogue of inter-comprehension. They are the guarantors of real dialogue and deep mutual understanding. In our societies, mediation has 4 functions:
• Create link• Recreate the link• Prevent conflict• Settle the conflict
This is an opportunity to implement the “International Day of Living To-gether” IDLTP (JIVEP in French).

THE CIRCLE OF AWAKENING TO QUALITIES AND VIRTUES (CAQV)
The CAQV is a tool that allows one to develop a new benevolent learning grid, based on cooperation, synergy and collective intelli-gence.
This excellent tool of collective intelligence the CAQV is based on three virtues: sincerity, benevolence and humility. The first allows us to express what we feel. The second creates a climate of trust between all. The last puts us at the service of one another.
The CAQV allows everyone to express and develop their potential in a spirit of complementa-rity. This synergy allows the emergence of a collective intelligence.
The CAQV puts in place an equality of positioning between the people who compose it, as they on the Circle, they are all oriented towards a common center. Each person is at the same time first and last through their participation and their qualities or their inertia and defects.
In summary, the CAQV makes it possible to pass from the culture of “I” to a culture of “We”.
FROM THE CULTURE OF “I” TO THE CULTURE OF “WE”
The Circle of Awakening to Qualities and Virtues allows us to:
• Access the Knowledge of how to live together and to have excellent relations.
• Nurture a sense of awareness of ourselves and others by anchoring it in the foundation of universal values, the foundation of our humanity.
• Cultivate a global citizenship and share a community of destiny, that of the human family.
• Contribute to the emergence of a new governance.
The tool par excellence of collective intelligence
