Public and educational
outreach are part of the Prajnya mission and the Education for
Peace Initiative (EPI) hosts Prajnya’s pedagogically-oriented
projects. Its vision is to teach peace by fostering the learning
of skills conducive to communication, healing, tolerance, reconciliation
and interaction between people with divergent interests and creating
capacity for the resolution of conflict and the creation of a
sustainable peace.
In 2008, Prajnya received
a grant from Sir Ratan Tata Trust to commission three pre-launch
research projects for this Initiative. For more, see here.
In August 2009, we held
a small seminar to present the findings of the projects.
In August 2010, Priyadarshini
Rajagopalan presented "Building
Blocks of Peace Education: A Practical Discussion of Conceptual
Issues" at an international conference organised
by the Madras School of Social Work on "Development and Equity
for a Global Society – Emerging Concerns for Social Work."
In October, she also presented at a conference on Nai Talim at
the University of Madras.
