ALVAREZ-MAESTRE, Annie Julieth  and  PEREZ-FUENTES, Carlos Alfredo. Peace Education: Theoretical Approach from Peace Imaginaries. educ.educ. [online]. 2019, vol.22, n.2, pp.277-296. ISSN 0123-1294.  https://doi.org/10.5294/edu.2019.22.2.6.

The article presents a desk study about the theoretical elements that epistemologically support a research project into peace education. It addresses three central themes: analysis of the theory of peace and conflict, understanding of social imaginaries in the context of peace, and conceptual comprehension of peace education through information and communication technologies (ICT). In brief, it is stated that understanding social imaginaries of peace is fundamental to bringing forward pedagogical proposals appropriate to the students’ needs. These proposals should be built on a systematic theory of peace that incorporates elements of structural, imperfect and neutral peace.

Keywords : Civic education; peace education; human rights education; social imaginary; social pedagogy; political education; peace research; culture of peace.
