Prize for Peace Education
Evens Foundation through the Peace Education prize focuses on skills that facilitate a constructive attitude towards conflict.
Peace Education is about teaching and learning the skills and attitudes needed to manage and/or resolve conflicts so that they do not escalate into violence. It is about developing tolerance, understanding and respect for others, as well as self-respect. It involves an understanding of (structural) injustice and is inextricably linked to human rights and democracy.
