some
words to go on walking… and
creating reconciliation ways
The construction of peace, in the base
itself of the founder's thought has been for the guides
a compromise, a job since their beginning.
In the programs of every association, the orientation of the World Association
of Guides,
in multiple projects the education for the peace has been present.
AMGE:
A decade ago, the package of
materials for the education for the peace of the WAGGGS provided us a lot of
concrete ideas to work with girls and teenagers.
The decennium of the United Nations shows us that it is a world level wish all the time to be including more people of good will in a new way of habiting the world.
UNESCO:
The UNESCO, whose web site you can
visit, has a big amount of resources available for the group job. The Associated
Schools net, the UNESCO, ASNEP that you can also consult on the web into the
page www.unesco.org offers the guides of any branch interesting challenges to
face with their girls. The CD, Education for the Citizenship of UNESCO proposes
itself through an endless number of proposals that children and teenagers play a
significant roll in the life of their schools, communities and more widely in
the world as John
Daniel expresses in his presentation.
The learning of this values, of
the respect for national differences, as well as religious and ethnic and the
development of a critic spirit, of the reflection capacity and taking a position
comes from the six proposed methodological guides: The tolerance, open door to
peace; Conflicts resolution; For international comprehension and peace;
Tolerance: entrance towards peace, are some of the tittles.
On the other hand the amount of available documents like
The Children's Rights Convention, The Salamanca Declaration; The declaration
about tolerance allows, especially those who work with older guides, to make
them closer to the world of big decisions and agreements made by their own
countries in the heart of the United Nations. Learning activities regrouped in
four topics: Rights and responsibilities, Peace and no violence, Tolerance and
Environment can be included in our meetings, outgoings and camps.
CARITAS:
Many international catholic
organizations also answer with their programs, their goals and their projects to
the clamor for peace from the compromise of educating for peace. One of them is
International Caritas. Its Manual for the formation of agents of
reconciliation and peace, written in Spanish, French and English facilitates
with rich and simple language a formation way in the pacific resolution of
conflicts, the discovery of the other as a brother whose diversity is a gift for
each one.
These manuals can be asked in
the national offices of Caritas. However, working in a group way on the
organization of workshops and meetings to develop this proposal integrating
youngsters from the neighborhood, as interested as the guides in growing and
being agents of peace, would be much richer than knowing and applying these
materials
Don't let others imagine and program our lives, imagine
and program a world for us.
Let's teach and learn how to interpret the nowadays history, let's do it from a
belonging and communion sense with our brothers and sisters, that are all the
men and all the women.
Let's teach and learn how to
build with the others, with all the human beings of good will, in the hope that
the germens of good, justice an peace nestle in the heart of every man will have
the possibility of spreading out from the education job.
Frequently immersed in a society that believes very little, bets more for the
outer part than for the essence of people, loaded of prejudices, hurries and
competence, let's make place for the personal relations, institutions, dreams
and hopes.
We can be educators- way partners, going in solidarity, invoking with children
and teenagers the presence of Lord of Emaus that teaches us how to live.
