Workshop Peace counts

As part of the social studies/politics class, the students in Classes 9 and 10 deal with international political processes, among other things. They deal with the relevance of international relations as well as the importance of non-state actors in the international context. Dealing with peace and security policy perspectives is a central component here.
If you deal with this topic, wars and conflicts come into focus. Reports of peace are easily ignored. Taking up this consideration, the Peace Education Service Center has created a workshop that focuses more on successful peace efforts worldwide. The Servicestelle Friedensbildung is an association supported by the state of Baden-Württemberg, which strengthens the topic of peace education in schools across subjects and thus anchors it more firmly in the educational plans.
In discussions with the foundation’s experts, the students were able to exchange views on the successes of different people from all over the world who live in war and conflict regions and who work creatively for peace in their environment and society. As part of the visit to the digital exhibition, “Peace Counts”, they learned more about these case studies and, with guidance, reflected on important characteristics of peacemakers.
We thank Ms. Wölbl and Ms. Lorenz for conducting this exciting workshop!
