WHO ARE WE?
This website has now been taken over by the Working Group on Education for Peace at Norway's oldest peace organisation, the Norwegian Peace Association. It originally developed by the Norwegian Peace Council, an umbrella organisation for 21 Norwegian Peace organisations. The Russian, Spanish and Arabic versions of the website have been sponsored by the Working Group for Teaching for Tolerance at the Oslo Coalition on Freedom of Religion or Belief, Norwegian Centre for Human Rights.
www.educationforpeace.no was originally created on in response to a request from teachers at a strategy meeting at the Friendship North/South school exchange programme. It has been developed with help and inspiration from the General Union of Palestinian Teachers, Save the Children Norway, Mediation Services Oslo, Klinsj, and Council of Europe trainers from Azerbaijan and Moldova.
The website has been approved by the Ministry of Education in Ramallah as a tool for introducing School Mediation into Palestinian schools.
All exercises on this website have been tried out in appropriate schools or workshops.
