    Peace and Human Rights Education: In her introduction to the Encyclopedia of PeaceEducation, Monisha Bajaj writes: One of the founding principles of peace education

    initiatives is that learners can develop a sense of possibility that enables them tobecome agents of social change. The aim of this course is not just to present the

    theoretical foundations of peace education but to also engage educators in translatingtheory into practice and in thinking critically about how peace education can mosteffectively enter their classrooms, schools, and communities.

    If wars begin in the human mind, then it is through our minds through education that war can be vanquished by peace. This course can make a difference.
