Remembrance Day in languages
Discover new resources designed by specialist teacher Eleanor Chettle-Cully in collaboration with NCLE for Remembrance Day and peace education in languages.
The intercultural dimension and peace education
Peace education and interculturality are deeply interconnected because both promote empathy, dialogue, respect for diversity, and the ability to understand multiple perspectives across cultural and linguistic boundaries. In the languages classroom, intercultural encounters become opportunities for peacebuilding, helping learners challenge stereotypes, engage critically with differences and similarities, and develop the skills needed to contribute to more inclusive and
harmonious societies.
