EURED - Education for Europe as Peace Education
In-service teacher training on peace education
The acronym EURED stands for "Education for Europe as Peace Education". EURED works on an ambitious project - to provide in-service teacher training on peace education:
- not as a single activity, but as a comprehensive curriculum, in form of a course (in service training)
- not for a single country, but for the whole of Europe, and this means not only the countries of the European Union, but all European countries
- not for a special group of teachers, but for all teachers and teacher trainers (all subjects and all school levels)
The common course for teachers from different countries, with seminars on different European locations, the exchange of experiences with peace and with teaching issues is itself a part of a "Culture of Peace". The rich diversity of European languages and cultures will be mirrored in the peace curriculum, which is a contribution to UN Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-violence for the Children of the World.
First European in-service teacher training course
"Human Rights and Peace Education" (5 seminars, two years, university certification).
Started in 2004.

The involved organisations are coming from Austria, Croatia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, The Netherlands and Spain. EURED director is Werner Wintersteiner, Klagenfurt. (See also: Members)
How does EURED work?
The work of EURED consists of two steps:
1) 2000 - 2002 PREPARATION
The development of the curriculum with its single modules. There is a curriculum draft presented and discussed at the Klagenfurt Congress in November 2001.
2) 2002 - ? IMPLEMENTATION
The curriculum should be tested in a pilot course. A network of institutions able to run the course regularly should be created.
