Research and Evaluation

Posted on April 27, 2011 by ELSPETH MACDONALD

Educators and practitioners in peace education need access to up-to-date information in order to determine which practices are considered most effective in their work with children and young people.

We aim to promote a strong connection between educators, practitioners in peace education, researchers and policy-makers. We will work to extend and disseminate best available research and evidence about education for peace.

Let us know about recent research and evaluation reports.

“This week Mediawatch looks at the reporting of Darren Hughes’ downfall – and cases of high school bullying which hit the headlines recently, as well as one where it was the media who gave a school kid a hard time. Mediawatch also asks an experienced foreign correspondent if the media in the West misjudged historic upheavals in the Middle East.”
