Smart Peace Prize
Smart Peace Prize
Threats abound, challenges grow. In a world plagued by strong international tensions and multiple crises that threaten Peace and international balances, we fiercely oppose our emotion but we rarely mobilize our reason, thus making our capacity for anticipation weak. Thus it appeared to us that the source of any surge was the awareness by public opinion of the seriousness of our situation because the awareness of war is the prerequisite of the spirit of Peace. This awareness would be all the more effective if it were done from a very young age. The pedagogy of Peace aimed at the youngest could anchor reflexes of tolerance and respect which would positively condition the behavior of future adults and prevent violent attitudes. Integrating peace education as a basic teaching is essential to change mentalities and make future generations more peaceful and concerned about the stability of the world. To this end, our organization has decided to create the Smart Peace Prize for Peace Education in Early Childhood. This initiative rewards each year an educational program that raises awareness among the youngest (from 3 years old) about the culture of Peace, dialogue and respect for others.
