An opportunity to learn more about UPPER...
There cannot be a more urgent priority for Europe than to educate its young people to be peaceful. The marked change in populations of young people alongside the pervasive influence of technological development and the competing forces of localism and globalisation have given rise to the need to enhance social cohesion, and to learn civic values and mutual understanding.
The UPPER project has now elaborated a Good Practice Report, a Peace Educators’ Competencies Framework, an Handbook for Peace Education, and a collaborative benchmarking system for actors in the field of Education.
In order to perpetuate the activities of the project, partners have seized the opportunity to establish the Education Inspiring Peace Laboratory in Sanremo. The Laboratory will maintain and animate the community of practice, and disseminate the pedagogic tools and policy recommendations regarding Peace Education at the local and European level.
