social media and virtual worlds.

Presented by
Dr. Doris Molero (Pionia Destiny) and Saeeid Dastmalchian
(SaeeidD)

Peace: Its up to all of

us
My face for peace

is an

independent peace initiative of

the German/Iranian artist Saeeid
Dastmalchian and his wife Cordula,
launched in October 2012 in
Hamburg/Germany for giving

face to the wish for global

peace. This campaign takes place
on line through facebook.
www.myfaceforpeace.org

Peace will never be

achieved by force of arms.

Positive change is possible
only through unity and solidarity
of a great mass of people.
Say yes to peace within
yourself.
Showing face is a first step in
a peaceful future.
Let us live peace, rather
than only dream.
An open heart and an
open mind are the most
powerful means we have in our
hands in order to give peace a
chance.

Peace Oriented Education

According toUNESCO, a peace oriented education
..should attempt to reduce the willingness to use violence
in individuals and to reveal and remove the infrastructures
which cause violence in human relations at all levels of society
and amongst nations.
Human rights and an education which has peace as its goal
are not a luxury but are at the roots of the mission of an
educational institution..
Peace Linguisticsis a term which appeared in the 90sfor the
promotion of peace and human rights at international level
and stressed the value of linguistic multilingualism at national
and international level.
Within this framework, there is a need to create language
attitudeswhich respect the dignity of individual speakers and

Teaching and Practicing Peace in

the EFL class
Peace does not simply involve the absence
of war but includes the concept of peaceful
collaboration amongst individuals and
groups of different ethnic backgrounds as
well asfrom the same ethnic background.
.. Students benefit by learning to
collaborate more effectively and by
avoiding conflict and violence.

Can English Language Teachers rise to these

challenges? I believe they can, .Our job,
after all, is to teach effective
communication skills, and defining our
educational objectives in conjunction with
peace education objectives is not as
difficult as for teachers of other disciplines."
