This peace education resource guide is designed for teachers of upper primary grades in sub‐Saharan African countries to help them foster the development of peaceful skills, attitudes, and practices in their students and empower students to use peaceful tools to respond productively to conflict. Throughout the seven units in this peace education resource guide, students will explore the concepts of problem solving, empathy, effective communication, and respect (PEER) and how they relate to conflict in various areas of their lives, including families, schools, communities, governments, and more.
