The use of theatre arts to enact peace education is explored in this volume, with examples from various educational contexts and countries. It highlights the potential of applied theatre to transform relations, heal, and promote peacebuilding, bridging performing arts and peace education.

Theatre arts offer a powerful means to promote peace education through a diverse range of techniques, including storytelling, testimonial, forum theatre, political humor, and arts-based pedagogy. This volume showcases how these theatrical approaches can be effectively employed in formal and non-formal educational contexts across different age groups. Applied theatre, particularly in conflict-affected areas, has the potential to serve as an educational response to cultural and structural violence, fostering transformation of relations, healing, and praxis as part of local and global peacebuilding efforts.

The text bridges the fields of performing arts and peace education, highlighting the growing recognition of the importance of integrating the arts into educational practices. Contributors from various countries, including Northern Ireland, Denmark, Norway, the USA, Mexico, Japan, the Philippines, Pakistan, Burundi, Kenya, and South Africa, contribute their insights and experiences. They identify theoretical and technical aspects of theatrical performance that support peace through transformation, as well as embodied and sensorial learning.

This book is of interest to scholars and students in the fields of teacher education, arts-based learning, peace studies, and applied theatre, particularly those who are interested in working with child, adolescent, and adult learners. By exploring the intersection of theatre arts and peace education, the book offers valuable insights into the potential of the arts to promote social change and foster a more peaceful world.
