Abstract:
Large segments of all societies in the developing world and the developed world are unaware of the wealth of global cultural resources, and therefore the need to preserve the precious value of pluralism in their own and in other's societies. Inability of human society to recognize pluralism as a fundamental value constitutes a real handicap for its development and a serious danger for our future. International Integration of culture is, by no doubt, a requirement to pass on general humanistic knowledge. Education needs to instil a culture of peace that encompasses individuals, communities, nations, global systems and a sustainable relationship between humanity and nature. Education for international integration is grounded by the four pillars of learning - Learning to be, learning to know, learning to do, and Learning to live together. Global Classrooms According to UNESCO, the Culture of Peace involves a set of values, attitudes and behaviours which can be taught, developed and improved upon to enhance mutual understanding and conflict resolution and to attain it, requires transformation of institutional practices, as well as individual values and behaviours. Education system today, therefore, would play an ultimate role in the very process of building of Culture of Peace. The world today is greatly in need of a generation who will embrace the world with care by Learning to Live Together and prepare the youth for making them a conscious global citizen.
