This monograph is one of APCEIU's EIU Best Practices Series, which aims to encourage educators, scholars, and activists to implement and share local initiatives on EIU. The Series No.1 is a research study undertaken to identify positive practices that can foster peace education in post-conflict communities of Sri Lanka. Specifically, three schools are observed to understand how the model of peace education and multiculturalism can be promoted through educator’s creativity, dedication, and vision, curriculum revision, eco-friendly school environment, and use of external and community resources. The study showcases that culturally sensitive and mindful pedagogical practices are needed to generate understanding of peace.
