Retos de la Educación para la Paz en la era digital

Main Article Content

Abstract

Currently, the national and international context is marked by polarity, the presence or constant threat of conflicts, the proliferation of harmful social phenomena, among other challenges marked by the hyper-digitalization of daily life. In this scenario, peace education constitutes an important process that must be conceptualized, studied and perfected, beyond traditional and obsolete positions, hence the importance of achieving a better understanding of its strengths and challenges. To this end, a critical and integrative review study was conducted, with an exhaustive protocol for its development and the production of a synthesis of relevant sources. The main results point to the importance of achieving an inter- and transdisciplinary approach, the predominance of studies focused on global problems, the need to integrate peace education with other innovative initiatives that advocate social transformation, and the complex nature of disciplinary intersections, contextual and experiential that occur in the search for the construction of a culture of sustainable peace.
