"Averting war is the work of politicians; establishing peace is the work of education."
- Maria Montessori, Education and Peace, pg. 24
In response to global conflicts, our choice of this year's conference theme, "Peace is an Action, Not Hope," is rooted in the profound Montessori principle that peace is not a passive aspiration but an active pursuit, achievable through proactive education.
This conference seeks to empower educators with concrete strategies and tools to explore how to nurture the values of cooperation, mutual respect, and global citizenship in young learners, thereby equipping them to be architects of a more peaceful, understanding world.
Attendees will leave not just inspired but also equipped with the skill set to be catalysts of change in nurturing the next generation of peacemakers.
