Mon, April 8, 12:20 to 1:50pm, Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Floor: 800 Level, Hall G

Abstract

This paper aims to demonstrate the connections between the pursuit of peace and education in Latin America. The focus of interest is the relationship between schooling, the ways of education for peace and peace building and the role of international organizations. In particular, the paper draws attention to the case of a regional organization, MERCOSUR, and its strategies as regards the education sector. The argument is that this organization offers a new term for the connections between the promotion for peace and schooling: regional identity.
