Abstract

Peace psychology is still an emerging domain on the larger sphere of psychology. The present paper tries to locate peace in psychology and education as it is gaining momentum in the research paradigm given the backdrop of increased violent and terrorist activities. Peace building and peacemaking are strategies that can be learned and thus including the concept of peace in the modem day pedagogical systems can prove to be very instrumental to come up with alternatives to conflicts at both individual and societal levels. We have further tried to evaluate and make some suggestions for peace education curriculum conceptualizing it in the Indian settings through a Gandhian perspective.
