Educating for peace and justice when people and planet are in crisis: towards a pedagogy of transformation and resistance.
As the world increasingly becomes embroiled in polycrisis - from climate change denial to the rise of the far right, war, genocide andpolitical violence, educating for peace is essential. What role could educators play in inoculating young people against hateful ideologies?And what pedagogies will support educators to create cultures of peace?
In this series of professional learning webinars, we explore the pedagogies and curricular tools that educators in any setting can deployto resist current trends and cultivate a more peaceful future.
In this interactive session, we will explore what it means to uphold the GTCS Professional Standards on social justice in today’s complexeducational landscape. Using real-world examples, we will examine the risks of selective solidarity, discuss strategies for embeddingantiracist and peace-building practices into curriculum and school life, and reflect on how educators can navigate intimidation, fear, andsystemic barriers.
