The Role of Arts in Peace Education

Abstract

We must not forget to study Peace Education from the field of arts (including literature) along with politics, international relations, economics, law studies, history, defence and security, psychology, and conflict resolution. The modern society we live in values how convenient and technologically advanced our lives are, but not how much we enjoy arts, because arts are regarded as an extravagance in some ways. However, we confront a lot of cases of social and structural violence in this society recently, so I believe that we should bring the power of arts in the field of Peace Education, since the power of arts teaches, heals and encourages humanity. To promote true peace, Peace Education through Arts must be available to all generations in different situations.
