The
culture of violence in Afghanistan has been indoctrinated
into Afghan children through the educational institutions of
the different regimes- Soviets and Communists, post
Communists and Taliban. Education became a tool for pursuing
their political agendas, and exposure of Afghan children to
these agendas meant that they acquired violent attitudes and
behaviors.
"1 gun + 2 guns = 3 guns. This
is how our children were taught mathematics during the war
years. It is time for us to undo the harm war has done to
our children's education.'
"If we are to have real peace, we must begin with
the children"
Gandhi

CPAU
believes this culture of violence can be transformed through
Peace Education. CPAU trains local Peace Educators in the
community to go into schools and teach grade 1-12. CPAU
Educators use our own original teaching materials which aim
to change children's behavior and attitudes towards peaceful
citizenship and individual responsibility towards others.
