The culture of peace: focus pedagogic and normative in the university curriculum

Abstract

Education and the culture of peace are considered transversal axes of the university curriculum, especially because the pedagogical model is based on philosophical, psycho-pedagogical, and legal bases, which together are directed in their actions to strengthen peace and non-violence, especially in current times, in which in the social context and within the university campus, violence is manifested in psychological, symbolic, gender, school, among others. Hence, there is a need to strengthen socio-emotional skills that contribute to creating an environment of non-conflict, and peace, to develop professional modes of action, good interpersonal relationships, respect, solidarity, tolerance, rights of others, discipline, and humanism, among others. In the face of conflicts and violence, an environment of mediation must be established between the parties, the conflict, and other actors in the formative process, especially given the socio-cultural characteristics of the municipality of Caborca, Sonora, Mexico.
