Where Peace Begins - The Global Debate 2008
On 12 March 2008 Save the Children launched a global debate on the relationship between education and peace - what kind of education can promote peace, and how do we make sure that children receive the quality education that will help them build peace?
Events and discussions have taken place across the globe, engaging children, teachers, parents, Nobel Peace Prize laureates, educationalists and governments to contribute to a greater understanding of the links between education and peace.
