Peace education in Romania versus the European Union
The 21st century has seen the rise of conflicts, whether armed, psychological
or of other nature, which inevitably led to a human rights crisis like never
before. Sustainable, lasting peace and security can only be attained when all
human rights are fulfilled and building and maintaining a culture of peace is
a shared challenge for humankind. Therefore, the subject of peace education
has become more and more important in the wider field of education, because it
promotes the development of people and society in a peaceful way, based on the
principles of harm, tolerance, equality, respect for social justice and social
justice.
Preventing a Lockdown Generation in Europe and Central Asia: Building resilient societies with young people in the era of COVID-19
The regional report “Preventing a Lockdown Generation in Europe and Central
Asia: Building Resilient societies with young people in the era of COVID-19”
is the result of joint collaboration between the UNICEF Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia (UNICEF ECARO), the European Training Foundation (ETF) and GEYC, who was in charge of the qualitative data collection and
analysis.
This report builds on wide consultations with more than 15,000 adolescents and
young people from Europe and Central Asia covering, among others, their
feelings about lockdown restrictions, access and participation in education,
learning outcomes and the quality of teaching, as well as their views on
mobility, entrepreneurship and participation. When it comes to the future, the
report captures young people’s hopes and fears about deep changing societies
and economies.
