What Is Peace Literacy?

Peace Literacy is a new approach to both peace and education, informed by three models:

  • Literacy education in reading and writing
  • West Point leadership training
  • Nonviolence strategies of Martin Luther King Jr. and Gandhi

Peace Literacy builds on the strengths of these three models:

  • Viewing peace not simply as a goal, but as a skill-set
  • Teaching a strategic approach to peacemaking
  • Focusing on and integrating well-being at the personal, social, and political levels
