Women's empowerment for a culture of peace and non-violence in the pacific consultation meeting proceedings Year of publication: 2013 Corporate author: UNESCO Office for the Pacific States in Apia The Consultation on Women’s Empowerment for a Culture of Peace and Non Violence in the Pacific was held in Nadi, Fiji, from 13 to 15 June 2013. The consultation was an interagency collaboration between the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN WOMEN) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Pacific Centre as part of the United Nations strategy “Delivering as One”. This collaboration focused on efforts to design, promote and strengthen a culture of peace in the Pacific at the country and regional levels. The consultation brought together 30 senior representatives, including development professionals and community members, from governments, regional organizations, women’s organizations, faith-based groups, academic institutions and development partners from the Cook Islands, Fiji, Kiribati, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu. The consultation ended with an agreement on a range of actions that could be adopted at the local, national and regional levels to promote increased dialogue between leaders and policy makers on the contributions that culture and heritage can make to addressing issues of gender inequality and reducing GBV. The outcome statement identifies the importance of building positive cultural models, using a range of key factors, including female leaders, faith-based leaders and traditional leaders as well as political leaders and parties. The statement also emphasized education as a means of promoting a culture of peace and non-violence. The consultation’s outcome statement noted that the school curriculum should place a stronger emphasis on values, gender equality, sexual and reproductive health and rights, and the building of positive cultural models. The follow up actions identified include increasing public awareness on achieving equality for Pacific women, including women at the grassroots level, in bringing peace to conflict-affected communities; targeting young people as the next generation of leaders; using the arts and cultural and sports events to break down gender stereotypes; actions relating to economic empowerment, access to justice and service delivery; and intangible cultural heritage capacity building incorporating substantive gender equality components. 
Global Security, Religion and Education Development: a Crisis for the Field of Comparative Education? Year of publication: 2011 Author: Yusuf Sayed | Lynn Davies | Mike Hardy | Abbas Madandar Arani | Lida Kakia | Masooda Bano Corporate author: Taylor & Francis Building common ground on shared values should be a high priority for a diverse and devout society in an era of religious conflict. Otherwise we might fall into the equally false and far more dangerous illusion that we agree on nothing at all – and perhaps we tend to assume that education helps to do this, which is not necessarily the case. There is a greater concern that education is not just failing to step up effectively to the task of contesting undifferentiated and negative views of religions, but that it might not always be a force for good at all. It may in some cases help reinforce difference and create the conditions for conflict.The relationship, therefore, between religious difference, security and the assumed supportive role of education is far from a simple one. 
Schools and war: urgent agendas for comparative and international education Year of publication: 2005 Author: Lynn Davies Corporate author: Taylor & Francis This paper looks first at the contributions that education makes to conflict, through the reproduction of inequality and exclusion, through perpetuation of ethnic or religious divisions, through its acceptance of dominant aggressive masculinities, through selection, competition and fear, and through distorted curricular emphases on narrow cognitive areas of learning. However, the paper also outlines some ‘possibilities for hope’, such as resilient schools, the impact of peace education initiatives and the rise of global citizenship education.
