Specific purpose: To inform my audience about developments that will impact positively on peace education in the future.
Central idea: Peace education development should be put to use in every school in the world in order to stop violent and useless actions.

Introduction:
I) The meaning of peace education: three distinctions in peace keeping.
II) Its contents start by discussing the causes of war and how to avoid it.

A) Peace through school: 1) Establishing democratic classrooms. 2) Separate peace classes or integrate them in the curriculum
B) Peace education is about empowering people: 1) To maintain relations, create safe environments, and protect it. 2) It teaches love, compassion, non-violence, etc.

II) Examples:
A) Safe and Caring Schools Programs :

2) BC Safe School Centre: Central source of information helping the youth, parents, etc.

B) United Nations/Hague Appeal for Peace Education Initiatives.

2) Campaigns to train teachers so that: children would learn the 4th R: reconciliation; and cure the causes of violence.
C) Global Education Initiatives:
1) Media increased interactions between Nations, these attempts are often dissatisfied by misunderstandings. Fruitful relations are enhanced if citizens are informed about the other nation’s culture.

Conclusion:

I) I hope we can all become peacefully educated in a way, in order to prevent anything bad from happening anytime around us.
II) By learning how to deal with dangers, we can avoid violence, for example if things erupt for some unknown reason in the university and students would want to clash with each other.
