Best Practices on Non-Violent Conflict Resolution in & out of school
	In the context of our activities concerning education for non-violence, UNESCO is planning to produce a collection of texts dealing with non-violence and conflict resolution in the formal and non-formal school environment.

 
This document is designed for teachers of primary and secondary education, teacher trainers, as well as students and young people.

The objective of the work is to outline experiences of non-violent conflict resolution in different social and cultural contexts, based either on new communication techniques (e.g. peer mediation, win-win relationships, etc.) or on traditional methods, particular to each culture.

We believe that it is important to show examples of successful conflict resolution, between young people, between students and teachers or between the community and the young, while paying attention to the issues of racial discrimination and xenophobia.
