This new physical space and educational platform will offer an innovative and multidisciplinary approach to promoting a culture of peace, combining face-to-face and online activities for students and teachers.
A unique space for training in a culture of peace
The center seeks to promote education for peace through a structured and original approach. In its first phase, all universities in Yucatan, as well as those in other states of Mexico, will have access to this platform.
Is there progress towards a culture of peace in Mexico?
Where is peace education taking place?
Even institutions without a specific peace chair will be able to use its teaching modules, adapted to provide complete and effective training on peace issues. This approach is based on the experience and knowledge of influential voices, including Nobel Peace Prize winners, activists and non-governmental organizations.
Innovative and multidisciplinary methodology
Through an integrated methodology and innovative educational content, UADY and the center will provide practical tools to teach about peace and human rights teachers from all over the country.
In addition, students will participate in a unique educational experience that encourages the development of skills to resolve conflicts and work towards peaceful coexistence.
Commitment to peace at a local and global level
From this center, UADY will implement actions to address problems of violence in schools and homes, as well as to build alliances that promote the culture of peace. The university seeks to collaborate with governments, businesses and communities to extend the impact of the center at a local and regional level.
The objective is to promote educational projects that strengthen the values of respect and solidarity in Yucatan and the rest of Mexico.
