1. Presented by
Dr. Doris Molero (Pionia Destiny) and Saeeid Dastmalchian (SaeeidD)

2. Peace: It’s up to all of us
My face for peace is an
independent peace initiative
of the German/Iranian artist Saeeid
Dastmalchian and his wife
Cordula, launched in October
2012 in Hamburg/Germany for
giving face to the wish for
global peace. This campaign
takes place on line through
facebook.

3.  Peace will never be achieved
by force of arms.
Positive change is possible only
through unity and solidarity of a
great mass of people.
 Say yes to peace within
yourself.
Showing face is a first step in a
peaceful future.
 Let us live peace, rather than
only dream.
An open heart and an open
mind are the most powerful
means we have in our hands in
order to give peace a chance.

7. Peace Oriented Education
According to UNESCO, a peace oriented education…
“…..should attempt to reduce the willingness to use violence in individuals
and to reveal and remove the infrastructures which cause violence in
human relations at all levels of society and amongst nations.”
“ Human rights and an education which has peace as its goal are not a
luxury but are at the roots of the mission of an educational institution..”
‘Peace Linguistics’ is a term which appeared in the 90’s for the promotion
of peace and human rights at international level and stressed the value of
linguistic multilingualism at national and international level.
Within this framework, there is a need to create language attitudes which
respect the dignity of individual speakers and speech
communities (D.Crystal, 1999).

8. “Peace does not simply involve the absence of war
but includes the concept of peaceful collaboration
amongst individuals and groups of different ethnic
backgrounds as well as from the same ethnic
background.
…….. Students benefit by learning to collaborate
more effectively and by avoiding conflict and
violence.
Can English Language Teachers rise to these
challenges? I believe they can, …….Our job, after all,
is to teach effective communication skills, and
defining our educational objectives in conjunction
with peace education objectives is not as difficult
as for teachers of other disciplines."
