In this article, we contribute to discussions on decolonising peace education by bringing it together with the notion of agonistic politics, and specifically the concepts of agonistic peace and agonistic decolonisation. Through drawing on two common peace education programmes in the South African context, namely Facing History Facing Ourselves and Peace Clubs, we explore the potential that the concepts of agonistic peace and agonistic decolonisation offer to enrich debates on decolonising peace education. We argue that the analysis of these programmes through the lens of these concepts holds important theoretical and political implications for conceptualising peace and peace education as it enables one to understand these as open-ended and dynamic, alluding to the presence of alternative epistemologies and ontologies of peace that are entangled with politics that challenge Eurocentrism’s (supposed) universalism. This, we suggest, is vital for understanding the decolonisation of peace education as a long and complex process, rather than a one-off event.","PeriodicalId":44502,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Peace Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135037461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Geographic, economic, political, cultural, and social differences influence the concepts of war and peace. This study aims at examining this effect. In addition to comparing studies conducted in Western countries, the study aims to examine early childhood students’ understanding of war and peace concepts. The study involved ten early childhood children who were at the kindergarten level with an average age of 5.7 years. The study employed a phenomenological approach. Drawing and semi-structured interviews were utilized for data collection. The study results indicate that children conceptualize war as unhappiness, conflict, and weapons. War concepts are symbolized by sad people, weapons, and fighting characters. In addition, children conceptualize peace as happiness, the beauty of nature, and a place that makes them feel safe, cheerful, free to express themselves, happy, and in which no one is angry. Smiling people, houses, trees, rainbows, and mountains represent peace. Overall, early childhood simultaneously comprehends the concepts of war and peace. This result differs from those of several prior studies.KEYWORDS: Children’s drawingchildren’s understandingpeace conceptspeace education in childrenphenomenologywar concepts Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis research received funding from Lembaga Pengelola Dana Pendidikan (LPDP) of the Republic of Indonesia with Grant number 2020031130770.Notes on contributorsIlfiandra IlfiandraIlfiandra is an Associate Professor of guidance and counseling with a research focus on peace education and pedagogy.

Changing the conflict narratives that perpetuate ethnopolitical conflicts in the region through peace education is a prerequisite for any meaningful peacebuilding. Consequently, the study examined how civil society actors use peace education to deconstruct negative conflict narratives in the region. The study is qualitative and relied on both primary and secondary data sources. Primary data was obtained through in-depth interviews with 20 participants. The data was analyzed using an inductive-deductive thematic analysis approach with the aid of NVivo 12 software. The study found that civil society organizations’ (CSOs) peace education programs create awareness, facilitate mutual understanding, and engender values of human rights, non-violence moves to conflict resolution, reconciliation, and trust-building. Peace educational activities by CSOs, whether direct or indirect, and whether in educational settings or the community, are essential in changing the socio-psychological infrastructure that perpetuates a culture of violence. It is proposed for broader engagement with CSOs for the initiation and implementation of context-specific peace education programs to help deconstruct the conflict narratives that perpetuate identity conflicts in some parts of Ghana.KEYWORDS: Northern Ghanapeace educationpeaceethnopoliticalcivil societyconflict narrative Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsMathias Awonnatey AtengMathias Awonnatey Ateng holds a Ph.D. in Peace and Conflict Studies from the University of Manitoba.

Moving beyond a chronological ordering of events, a narrative is a constructed cohesive account of occurrences used to make sense of experiences and motivate action. In violent settings, narratives tend to retrench into static accounts that increase prejudice and motivate greater acts of violence. Alternatively, dynamic narratives offer complex judgement, plot, character, and value assessments of the world thus encouraging more openness to others and peace. I propose a novel intervention for the generation of dynamic narratives. I use the practice of shinrin yoku or guided forest walks in a seminar about Palestine and Israel, to invite liminality, the experience of communal spaces where traditional markers of power and social obligations are stripped. I expected that increasing experiences of shinrin yoku, and in turn liminality, will induce dynamic understandings of Palestinian Israeli relations on campus. Digital diary responses from eleven student participants kept over twelve weeks in a Fall 2022 seminar reveal that even with the eruption of hostilities, 1 students adopted dynamic stories about Palestine and Israel relations when they spent increasing time engaged in shinrin yoku.","PeriodicalId":44502,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Peace Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47713398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
