The purpose of the handbook is to:

 

  • Provide teachers with a selection of relevant and accessible in-classroom and out-of-classroom educational resources (summaries of short activities, lessons, units) that aim to instil the principles of the RoL among primary school students.
  •  Assist teachers in applying the teaching resources to their local educational settings by providing ideas for adaptation for a variety of learning environments.

 

This handbook provides:

  • Summaries of existing teaching resources selected from UN agencies, INGOs, NGOs, and ministries that work to meet the learning outcomes on GCED for the RoL.
  • Links to the original resource that offers additional learning opportunities.
  • Tips and suggestions for adaptation, extension and cross-references of teaching resources; and  Suggestions for learning assessment.

 

This handbook can be useful for:

  • Teachers and teacher trainers in formal school settings at the primary school level. It encourages teachers to strengthen the RoL through education by integrating it into their lessons and planning.
  • Professionals working in non-formal education or engaging with young people, for example, in sports associations, community organizations, social work and the justice sector.
  • Parents seeking to raise empowered young citizens who actively contribute to peace and justice.
