> The International Institute on Peace Education (IIPE) 2008 will take place
> from July 28 to August 4 in Haifa, Israel hosted by the Jewish-Arab Center
> and the Center for Research on Peace Education (CERPE) of the University of
> Haifa and the Center of Critical Pedagogy of Kibbutzim College of Education.

> IIPE was founded in 1982 by Dr. Betty Reardon and faculty colleagues at
> Teachers College and has been held annually in different parts of the world.
> The IIPE is not a traditional conference but rather a "learning community"
> in which the organizers and participants work together to nurture an
> inclusive, highly interactive learning environment. It is an intensive
> multicultural and cooperative learning opportunity in which participants
> learn from and with each other about substantive peace issues and
> interactive teaching approaches. The IIPE is also an opportunity for
> networking and community building among those who educate and work for a
> culture of peace in the host region and around the world.

> IIPE 2008 THEME: Critical Pedagogy: Educating for Justice and Peace
>
>
>
> IIPE 2008 will explore the theme of "Critical Pedagogy: Educating for
> Justice and Peace." It will deal with issues of dialogical education for
> social change and the intersection of peace education and critical pedagogy,
> relating to the question of what kind of peaceful society we are striving
> for. Peace Education in Israel has concentrated mostly on the Jewish-Arab
> conflict. Various names describe it: education for co-existence, Jewish-Arab
> encounter, dialogical groups, neighbors, living with the other, etc. In
> groups where Palestinians and Israelis sit together and discuss their
> relationships the historical narratives are often learned. In other parts of
> the world, however, peace education is called by different names according
> to the political constraints of the region.
>
>
>
> This year's IIPE will try to examine the complexity of peace education
> issues in an unequal society. It will strive to explore goals of equal
> education, schooling despite the pressure of violent conflict, economic
> justice, the challenges of environmental violence, structural violence, and
> ties of politics and education. The IIPE core inquiry will focus on the
> concept of education for a culture of peace and the social change needed to
> achieve it. We will seek to examine the link between local-regional
> problems, global issues, and universal developments, and look for ways to
> address them in education. Relevant sub-themes include the relationship
> between social violence and armed conflicts; issues in education that most
> affect marginalized populations such as the poor, women, migrant workers,
> and people with disabilities; the need to raise awareness of global
> environmental justice issues, small arms control, nuclear threats, poverty,
> first-third world power relations and the global campaign against sex
> trafficking. Thus, the upcoming IIPE will explore innovative ways and
> educational strategies to enhance social critical consciousness and methods
> of activism through education.
>
>
>
> We encourage each applicant to consider how they might contribute to this
> exploration from their own experience regionally, as a formal or informal
> educator, or as an advocate or activist (see application form). Together, we
> hope to illuminate the gaps and complementarities of peace education and
> critical pedagogy.

> We ask all potential participants to please apply online via the IIPE
> website: www.tc.edu/PeaceEd/iipe. Applications must be submitted by March 1,

> Acceptance for participation in the IIPE is based upon applicant's potential
> contribution to the goal of developing and strengthening peace education and
> critical pedagogy in the host region and toward a more global perspective on
> peace education among all participants. While we would like to accept
> everyone who applies, the number of applicants usually exceeds the places at
> each institute. The IIPE attempts to practice the principles of peace
> education by engaging all participants in our short term learning community
> in an experience of participatory learning in which all of us can learn from
> each other. We have found that increasing our numbers beyond 70 participants
> diminishes the effectiveness of this aspect of the institute, so we are
> unable to accept all applicants.:
>
>
>
> Among other criteria, first priority is given to those applicants coming
> from the surrounding host region. The IIPE attempts to explore themes and
> issues that are particularly relevant to the host region and works to build
> regional solidarity among peace educators. Thus, a minimum of 50% of the
> participants will come from the Mediterranean region. In selecting the
> remainder of the international participants we attempt to maintain a
> geographical balance and variety in experience and substantive expertise.
> All applicants should specifically demonstrate how they will apply their
> peace education and critical pedagogy learnings in their countries or local
> communities as that will be a significant criteria of selection.:
>
>
>
>
>
> As a learning community experience the IIPE requires full-time participation
> from all participants. You must be able to participate in the full period of
> the IIPE (July 28-August 4) for your application to be considered. If after
> acceptance a participant finds he or she must leave early or arrive late,
> their place will be given to another on the waiting list.:
>
>
>
> Scholarship:
>
>
>
> The institute operates on a self-sustaining basis in which all participants,
> including the organizers and presenters pay their own travel and
> participation fees or find their own funding. Each year numerous applicants
> request various amounts of scholarship support and the IIPE seeks to raise a
> scholarship fund for participants coming from currency poor or post-conflict
> countries. Scholarships are typically not provided for participants applying
> from the US or Western Europe. Scholarships come only in the form of
> participation fee waivers. The IIPE does not provide financial support for
> travel to and from the institute. If you think you will be in need of
> scholarship please indicate so when applying. :
