INVESTING IN THE FUTURE: EDUCATION FOR PEACE AS A GUARANTEE OF A BETTER WORLD

Abstract

The research analyzed, in the context of basic education, how the articulation between inclusive practices, informative religious education, family participation and planned use of technological resources could strengthen a culture of peace between different agents of the educational process. The objective was to understand how intercultural dialogue, the appreciation of diversity and the recognition of different beliefs and life trajectories contributed to the formation of individuals who are more empathetic and capable of living together peacefully. The study addressed the theme considering the need to go beyond strictly pedagogical aspects, inserting them in political, social and cultural contexts. The methodology adopted was based on bibliographic research, understood as the careful examination of previously produced theoretical and empirical contributions, allowing the identification of points of convergence and gaps in the literature. The methodological framework included the analysis of different national and international publications, enabling a comprehensive view of the multiple dimensions involved in the construction of school peace. From the examination of the data, it was observed that the active involvement of the family, the reflexive use of technologies and intercultural dialogue contributed to promote more harmonious and inclusive educational relationships. In addition, it was found that the understanding of peace education demanded a transversal approach, permeating the curriculum, pedagogical practices and daily interactions in the school environment. It was concluded that, although there were structural, political and cultural obstacles, it was possible to improve the educational process through strategies that dialogued with diversity. Thus, it was suggested that future research capable of exploring new contexts and approaches be deepened.
