"Be a Participant in History, not a Bystander"
- A Special Peace Education Class by Misako Iwashita, a Japanese HistoryTeacher -
How do we teach peace? We often teach horrors of wars, and wrongdoing of our own country, but are these sufficient? Can we give hope and courage for action by peace education? How do we guide learners so that they become active participants of history rather than just being bystanders?
