Peace and Nonviolence

This unit will introduce/broaden students’ knowledge and understanding of peace and nonviolence as a philosophy and practice. It will allow them to become aware, explore and gain knowledge and support them in developing an informed view of their own. It will also encourage them to explore personal, faith, societal and global perspectives and apply problem solving and new skills to particular issues. Students will look at the scriptural basis for a theological (Christian) foundation for peace and nonviolence and consider both individual and organised Christian responses to injustice and conflict.
