  For the Teacher
More than a subject, Non-Violence has to be an attitude within the whole teaching practice, involving the entire staff of the school, parents and the surrounding community in a common, shared endeavour.

  • Learn about our rights, responsibilities and obligations

  • Learn to live together,respecting our differences and similarities

  • Develop a co-operative learning based on dialogue and intercultural understanding.

  • Help children to find non-violent solutions to their conflicts, to experience conflicts in a constructive way using mediation and conflict resolution strategies

  • Promote Non-Violence values and attitudes: autonomy, responsibility, co-operation, creativity and solidarity

  • Enable students to construct, together with their peers, their own peace ideal.

  • School has to give room to dialogue and sharing, becoming a centre for civic life in the community.


  • In order to have a real impact Non-Violence Education has to be planned as a school project, integrated into every aspect of the curriculum, pedagogy and activities, involving all the teachers as a team, as well as the organizational and decision-making structure of the educational institution.

    Non-Violence practices must be coherent and reflected in the school rules and the use of school premises.

    We propose you some sites and ideas that deal with conflict resolution, some of which propose training for teachers and young people. You can also learn Non-violence through pedagogical games or use some of the on line activities that you can find in the section For youths: It's your turn. The Tilonia Bare Foot College (India) shares with us its Training Guide for Peaceful Resolutions and you will find some documents reference at our documents section.
