In 2011, UNICEF commissioned research to investigate the role of education in peacebuilding in post-conflict contexts. The resulting report, entitled “The Role of Education in Peacebuilding: A synthesis report of findings from Lebanon, Nepal and Sierra Leone,” is part of a knowledge generation study within the Back on Track programme on Education in Emergencies and Post-Crisis Transition.

The study examines how integrated education interventions could have a stronger role in post-conflict peacebuilding within the United Nations system. It includes a programme literature and research review on the role of education in peacebuilding, as well as three country case studies on UNICEF’s education work in Lebanon, Nepal and Sierra Leone.

    Totally agree. Understanding other perspectives, especially the 'opponent's', is recognized as key in peacebuilding from what I've read on the subject. Education is the perfect medium to achieve this, obviously most saliently in the case of children.
