- Title
JANE ADDAMS: A SOCIAL SCIENTIST'S EXPERIENCE IN THE STRUGGLE FOR PEACEFUL CONFLICT RESOLUTION--A LESSON FOR CONTEMPORARY PEDAGOGY.

- Abstract
This article addresses the issue of education for peace in the context of individual experience, based on a description of the life and activities of the American activist Jane Addams, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931. Both her everyday activity, which is interpreted as creating positive contexts for the prevention of military conflicts, as well as her later pacifistic radicalism constitute an integral attitude of opposing war as a solution to disputes and treating war as a justification for defending peace in the world. Her experiences from a century ago become a lesson for us today that educating for peace does not mean forcing declarations or copying stereotypes. Rather, it is a process of sincere discussion and the changing, maturing reflections of individuals and groups about values created within the entire human community, including the role of women in this work.
