Abstract

With peace education as the theoretical framework, the author documents peace education initiatives undertaken by a school in India. For the initial design and method, the school website was used, document analysis of curriculum materials for Grades 1-5 was done based on core competencies offered by Bajaj (2015), and three Skype interviews were conducted with the school leadership. The limitation of the current data collection methods will be addressed by including classroom observations in August’18. Human beings will only be able to achieve their full potential when violence is curtailed (Harris & Morrison, 2012) and thus, this paper aims to document and assess practices of peace education.
