Learning to Live Together: Exploring Nonkilling from the Peace Education Reconstructive - Empowering Approach

Abstract

This article is devoted to the reflection on the possibilities of education for nonkilling societies (Paige, 2012) in the context of violence and killings in which our societies are currently involved. I will take as starting points the human capabilities and competences to make peace(s) 1 (Martínez Guzmán, 2005; 2009) and the recognition of diversity ( Rupesinghe, 1999) . This anal y- sis will be done in the framework of the Peace Education (hereafter PE) «Reconstructive - Empowering» (hereafter REM) approach, proposed in the research being done at the UNESCO Chair of Philosophy for Peace, I n- teruniversity Institute of Social Development and Peace, Universitat Jaume I, Castellón, Spain (Herrero Rico, 2009; 2012; 2013).
