OxPeace 2017: How can world peace be organised?

Series

Building Peace 2010 to 2019

Embed

Tangible steps that can be taken to better organise the world for peace.

World peace is out of fashion: not even pacifists believe in it nowadays, wrote Susan Sontag. Yet a series of recent UN reviews came to the conclusion that peace is fundamental to the achievement of other goals. The peace imperative was recognised by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which call for peaceful and inclusive societies. This talk examines the challenges that make world peace so difficult, considers past efforts and ideas, and introduces some tangible steps that can be taken to better organise the world for peace. - See more at: https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/1cbff6e8-44d7-4ee7-895a-dc0d2c06e027/#sthash.c72k6Nor.dpuf

OxPeace 2017: The role of school curriculum in sustainable peace-building: A case study from Sri Lanka

Series

Building Peace 2010 to 2019

Embed

How schools are contributing to truth-seeking, social cohesion and active citizenship in Sri Lanka.

The civil war between the Sri Lankan government and the separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) ended in 2009, with total defeat of the LTTE and many thousands of civilian casualties. With the election of a new government in 2015, efforts are being made to address the ethno-religious and cultural tensions that led to the war. We have investigated how schools are contributing to truth-seeking, social cohesion and active citizenship, through a qualitative study of six state secondary schools in the north, south, east, west and centre of the country, covering the main different ethnic and religious groups. Teachers are trying to impart values and skills for social harmony, and there is a strong emphasis on leadership but little or no critical thinking or discussion.

Assessing practical work in science

Series

Department of Education Public Seminars

Embed

Neil Wade Oxford, Cambridge and RSA (OCR) and Stella Paes Formerly AQA, give a seminar for the Department of Education seminar series.

This public seminar will be given by representatives from two awarding bodies for A-levels and GCSEs in England: OCR and AQA. Each will give their perspective on the following:
- the challenges of assessing practical work, - the opportunities afforded by the current system and some of the remaining difficulties, - how they would choose to assess practical work, and indeed assess science in general, if they could design an assessment system from scratch. This seminar arose from discussions at the Royal Society educational research
conference on Assessing experimental science in 11-18 education October 2016,
and will endeavour to engage with some of the principles and intellectual challenges of assessment, as well as the pragmatics. A response will be given by Dr Sean Page, Head of Science at Lord Williams’s School, Thame, Oxon.

OxPeace 2017: Devolving Power to Citizens: A Path to Positive Peace in Colombia?

Series

Building Peace 2010 to 2019

Embed

Discussion on whether offline and online participatory budgeting processes could foster positive peace in Colombia and, if so, under what circumstances.

After fifty years of war, Colombia is about to start the implementation of an ambitious peace deal between the Government and the FARC-EP guerrilla. Participation is one of the most used words in the agreement between the parties, and peacebuilding in the local areas will depend on the active participation of citizens in more than forty participatory spaces featured in the final accord. One of them is participatory budgeting, which is a process that allows citizens of a locality to directly decide how to spend part of the local budget. Based on qualitative research, the presentation will discuss whether offline and online participatory budgeting processes could foster positive peace in Colombia and, if so, under what circumstances.

OxPeace 2017: ‘Peace doesn’t exist’: Marginalised youths’ disengagement from Colombia’s peace process threatens the achievement of a lasting peace

Series

Building Peace 2010 to 2019

Embed

Young participants from a conflict-affected town express their ideas about peace, which contrast starkly with the country’s dominant optimism.

In the aftermath of the ‘no’ victory in the Colombian peace plebiscite, great emphasis has been placed on youth movements’ push for peace. Violent groups in Latin America are largely made up of male youths. In my documentary made during 9 months of fieldwork:
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT_BqPT9E-U), a short section of which will be shown, young participants from a conflict-affected town express their ideas about peace, which contrast starkly with the country’s dominant optimism. For them, the peace process is nothing more than corrupt politics. When they do talk of peace, they emphasise its domestic, inner and apolitical dimensions. More often, however, they simply believe that peace is not possible at all. The marginalisation of youths constitutes an enduring form of structural violence in Colombia’s post-conflict phase – one which should be urgently addressed through the lenses of social justice if Colombia’s peace is to last.
