About This Lesson
Human rights education (which closely connects with the study of nonviolent conflict and peacemakers who work for a more just society) is often absent from, or minimized in, required state curriculum. To teach the concept of “peacemaker,” peacemakers' stories are organized into five approaches to creating peace: choosing nonviolence, living peace, honoring diversity, valuing all life, and caring for the planet.
