Description

This conference will present an unfolding perspective on peace, defined first by the optimal formation of the individual human personality and second through a view of international human collaboration and solidarity in an overarching great work that can be accessed through the study of science and history. The child, then, is a citizen of the world: The great lessons pertain to sustainability and the interdependency of life on earth, and the ultimate studies are about cultures very different from one’s own. At the same time, the work of peace is much greater than academics. The conference will introduce the new project “Peace Now!,” a program of the NAMTA Center for Montessori Adolescent Studies that links adolescent education with comprehensive peace studies and international activism.
