Book excerpt: In the current tense international context, UNESCO reaffirms its ideal of peace while working to promote harmony among nations.Providing the foundations for a peaceful society requires more than directives. It needs an in-depth understanding of values, respect for others and a thorough awareness of the importance of sustainable development and protection of the environment. Education for peace is now, more than ever, a process of safeguarding humanity. This guide is aimed at both teachers and educators worldwide, as well as the public at large. Pierre Weil is the Rector of the International Holistic University of the City of Peace Foundation in Brasilia (UNIPAIX). He has elaborated a transdisciplinary programme for peace education, the basic seminar of which is 'The Art of Living in Peace'. This seminar aimed at teachers, trainers and young people has been successfully used for more than ten years in several countries throughout the world. UNESCO has contributed to the spread of the method, which has lost none of its relevance and effectiveness.
