This open access book shows what teaching for democratic citizenship and peace can look like in classrooms in violent and less-violent contexts around the world.

It features chapters written by leading scholars and practitioners based in Canada, Chile, Columbia, Cyprus, Mexico, Spain, the UK and the USA. It includes sections on navigating contested history and heritage; language teaching that bridges social identities; teaching democratic engagement with conflictual issues; and students Sharing Authority and Handling Systemic Violence. The chapters cover a wide range of topics with local and global significance including indigenous praxis as peace building, social conflicts, transformative hope, teacher training, and student voice. Vignettes of practice accompany each chapter, grounded in careful scholarship and teaching experience. The book shows how teachers and young people can feasibly nurture and learn non-violent ways of dealing with difficult conflicts and social tensions, to become agents of democratic revitalization and peacebuilding in their own communities and beyond. The contributors also engage critically with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), SDG 4 and 16 in particular, arguing that teachers and teacher educators can make a crucial difference in meeting these goals.
