Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Schools and even difficult terrains can be used for structured argumentation for children of different socio – ethnic backgrounds. Debate educated the children about values of tolerance in a more practical way by organizing a competition outside classroom. Similarly, the debate taught the participants different pedagogies to promote cultural tolerance among children which include, human rights, encouragement of the participants to express their views and feelings regarding all issues without feeling restricted. Similarly, the debate exposed the children to discussing issues with their fellow age mates unrestrictedly in an open environment which is less boredom compared to classroom. Regardless of medium of deliverance, peace education as the kind in this paper provided the learner with much skills of understanding how other people think, behave and respond to situations even if they are unfavorable. Similarly, the type exercise provided in this paper offered unique opportunities for both participants and non participants alike to live in harmony with people unconditionally.
