The terrible war waged by the Russian government against Ukraine has focused the world’s attention on the horrors of war and the need for peace. Peace does not just happen; it requires sustained effort to create cultures and practices of peace and nonviolence. One important component of this is education. The purpose of this teach-in is to share practices for and approaches to education for peace and ahimsa.
 
WHAT IS A TEACH-IN?
The concept of a teach-in was developed in the United States in the 1960s as a way to engage people in learning about and discussing complex topics such as war and oppression. They typically include lectures, discussions, and engaging educational activities that further participants’ understanding of the issue at hand. Until recently most teach-ins have taken place in person but the availability of technology coupled with the experience of online engagement since the beginning of the pandemic has allowed for the possibility of a virtual teach-in.
 
On Saturday, April 23, 2022, Speaking Our Peace and Jai Jagat International invite you to join an international Teach-In for Peace, in which you will learn from various practices of education for peace and ahimsa from formal and informal approaches. Presenters will be coming from several countries including Argentina, Palestine, South Africa, India, Canada, and United States.
