Education for Peace and Reconciliation
Educational Materials (Curriculum/Methodologies)
Lebanon
This page contains Education for Peace and Reconciliation project
descriptions, experiences learned and actual educational materials (e.g.
curriculum, methodologies, and handouts) that were developed in Lebanon.
UNICEF is promoting the programme of Education For Peace through a
brochure edited in 1992, which presents a brief description of the project
in pictures and words.
"SAWA" (meaning "Together")
This is a children's magazine created by UNICEF to be distributed on
both sides of the conflict lines in Lebanon. With thirty-two brightly coloured
pages full of articles, games, exercises and problems, this programme expands
the concept of school as a place and time for children and teachers to
meet. It substitutes the written word and pictures for teachers who cannot
be with children. It also presents educational content as entertainment
and amusement, and maintains a commitment to active learning for children
between the ages of 8 and 12.
