🕊️ Peace can be learned | Cambodia 🌍

In Cambodia, 27 future trainers travelled to Phnom Penh to explore the legacy of the Khmer Rouge regime, under which around two million people died between 1975 and 1979.

They visited historical sites, memorials, the Khmer Rouge tribunal and an audiovisual archive – connecting what they knew from books with the stories and places behind the history.

But the journey didn’t end there. As future trainers, participants plan to bring these experiences into their own peace education work – using history to encourage empathy, remembrance and a commitment to preventing violence.

Because remembering the past can also help shape a more peaceful future. 🌱

Peace can be learned. 💛

🕊️ Peace can be learned | Iraq 🌍

What can happen in a café? More than you might think.

In Iraq, the Book Cafés are places where young people from different communities can come together – to learn, connect and try out new ways of dealing with differences.

During Summer Peace Courses, students combined maths, chemistry and other subjects with exploring why conflicts happen and how disagreements can be handled without violence.

And when extreme summer heat made outdoor Salam Bus activities impossible, the Book Cafés took on another role. Young people from different villages came together there to listen to each other, share ideas and work as a team.

Different activities, different groups – but the same idea: creating places where young people can learn and practise what peaceful coexistence looks like.

Peace can be learned. 💛

🏅 Ein starkes Zeichen für Menschenrechte und Völkerrecht!
Der diesjährige Friedensnobelpreis würdigt eine Frau, die sich seit Jahrzehnten unermüdlich für Gerechtigkeit einsetzt: die südafrikanische Juristin Navi Pillay.
✊Während des südafrikanischen Apartheidregimes verteidigte sie Nelson Mandela.
🌍Später setzte sie sich als UN-Hochkommissarin für Menschenrechte weltweit für deren Schutz ein.
⚖️Zuletzt leitete sie eine unabhängige UN-Untersuchungskommission zu den besetzten palästinensischen Gebieten. Diese kam 2025 zu dem Schluss, dass Israel im Gazastreifen einen Völkermord begeht.

Ihre Auszeichnung sendet eine wichtige Botschaft: Völkerrecht und Menschenrechte müssen für alle gelten – ohne Ausnahme. Auch für Pro Peace ist die Wahrung des Völkerrechts eine zentrale Grundlage unserer Friedensarbeit. Deshalb begrüßen wir die Entscheidung des Nobelkomitees ausdrücklich.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch, Navi Pillay!

🕊️ Peace can be learned | Western Balkans 🌍
In the Western Balkans, learning peace also means looking back to move forward: How can learning about the past help young people shape a more peaceful future?
In Bosnia & Herzegovina and Kosovo, students learn about the Holocaust, but often have few opportunities to explore its regional history and the experiences of local Jewish communities. At the same time, teachers often lack accessible resources and practical tools for teaching this complex and sensitive history.
Together with local partners, Pro Peace developed a Teacher’s Manual and trained around 250 teachers on how to teach Holocaust and sensitive topics.
These trainings go beyond historical facts. They equip teachers with the knowledge and skills to explore with their students how prejudice, discrimination and exclusion can grow – and what this history can teach us about our own choices today.
Peace can be learned. 💛

🕊️ Peace can be learned | Germany 🌍

Young people face conflicts, different opinions and growing polarization every day. But where do they learn how to deal with them?

In Germany, peace education is still not systematically embedded in schools. Yet the ability to resolve conflicts without violence, question stereotypes and understand different perspectives needs to be learned and practised.

That’s why Pro Peace and a broad alliance launched “Frieden in den Lehrplan” – Peace in the Curriculum.

The campaign calls for peace education to become a permanent part of Germany’s education system – from primary school to graduation.

More than 9,000 people have already signed. Want to join them? Sign the petition “Frieden in den Lehrplan”. 🕊️

🕊️ Peace can be learned | Ukraine 🌍
In Odesa, Russia’s full-scale invasion shapes everyday life. Repeated drone and missile attacks, displacement and insecurity put enormous pressure on people and can strain relationships between neighbors.
In these difficult circumstances, community-led activities become even more important.
Together with our partner Zatsikavleni, Pro Peace supports residents in taking action. They learn to identify shared problems, listen to different perspectives, mobilize their communities and develop practical solutions together.
This also means creating dialogue between residents, municipal services and local authorities – connecting those affected by local challenges with those who can help address them.
The goal: instead of waiting for change, neighbours organize, engage with local institutions and help shape it themselves.
Because even in times of war, people can strengthen their communities by acting together.

🕊️ Peace can be learned | Jordan 🌍

In Jordan, 25 young facilitators from seven governorates came together to explore a practical question: How can we deal with disagreements without letting them divide us?

Through the National Dialogue Forum, they practised how to listen before reacting, question stereotypes, look for common ground and make sure different perspectives are heard.

Then they put these skills into practice. The facilitators organised their own dialogue activities in their communities, bringing other young people together to talk through differences and disagreements. A practical training manual helps them continue using and sharing what they have learned.

Because peace starts with something very practical: listening before reacting, trying to understand another perspective and finding ways forward together.

Peace can be learned. 💛

🕊️ Peace can be learned | Philippines 🌍

In the Philippines, history taught in schools has long focused heavily on the north of the country. Stories and perspectives from Mindanao in the south – home to many Muslim and Indigenous communities – have received far less attention.

But how we learn about the past shapes how we see the present. When perspectives are missing, stereotypes can persist – and conflicts become harder to understand and in turn address.
That’s where the Mindanao History Studies Roadshow comes in.

Through exhibitions, films and discussions, students learn about perspectives from Mindanao that many have rarely come across in the classroom. Since 2023, the roadshow has reached around 1,000 students.

And it doesn’t stop there. More than 100 textbooks and teaching materials have been reviewed with a simple but important question: Whose stories are being told in the Philippine education system – and whose are still missing?

Peace can be learned. 💛
