    • IJPED December 2023 editorial Settling Ideological Conflict for ‘Conflict to Peace Continuum’ observed:
    Everyone should agree that conflict’s precursor is ideology. Ideology is not an abstract notion. It is taking decision about social structure and social order and charting a pathway to achieve it or stabilize the achieved. The stabilization comes from normative behaviour of people through generations. Broadly two norms, individualism and collectivism directed path of human excellence much before Abraham and Christ in old civilizations.

Exploring the Synergy between Non-violent Communication and Servant Leadership: Impacts on Professional Practice 10.30954/2454-9525.01.2024.2 Category - Original Article

    • Non-violent Communication and Servant Leadership are pivotal concepts in peace education. While their roles in fostering peace within conflict and post-conflict societies have been explored, their effects on professional practice remain under-researched. The notion of peace encompasses not only global and societal dimensions but also inner peace and interpersonal relationships, where the actions of diverse professionals significantly contribute to peace-building. Cultivating a synergy between non-violent communication and servant leadership is essential for professionals to lead with empathy, respect, and care for others within their communities. This qualitative and interpretative study investigates the synergy between non-violent communication and servant leadership and its impact on professional practice. Using Participatory Action Research, this study involved a Six Week Certificate Course in Non-violent Communication and Servant Leadership offered by Global Peace Let’s Talk, United Kingdom. The research includes a thematic analysis of reflective submissions from participants representing different countries around the globe, providing empirical evidence of the benefits of this synergy for diverse professionals. Examples analyzed are from fields such as education and training, law enforcement, social work, and journalism.

  • Abstract
  • |
    • The world is facing the challenge of violent communication and its heinous effects in every aspect, at all levels - from individuals to families, institutions, societies, nations, and the global level. Promoting and establishing a healthy, Non-violent Communication ecosystem at all levels is the key to triggering all forms of violence and hatred. Ancient philosophical tradition, Buddhism encompasses the philosophy of Non-violence and integrates values, mutual respect, empathy, and, ultimately, peace. An integral part of the Buddhist tradition is Non-violent Communication. Whereas the pioneer of Non-violence practices, Gandhian philosophical praxis articulates his understanding of Non-violent Communication (NVC). It emphasizes self-discipline, self-restraint, and compassion. Both the principles of Buddhism and the Gandhian model of Non-violent Communication are very pertinent to the construction of the communication ecosystem in contemporary society. This paper is mainly concerned with the centrality of Non-violent Communication,which seems to engulf the contemporary world. This paper examines the intersections and divergences between Buddhist
    teachings and Gandhian principles in the context of NVC. This paper explores how the Buddhist and Gandhian thoughts are relevant to Non-violent Communication in the contemporary scenario and unfolds the internal dimension of peace for a more humane world.

    • The issues of gender inequality have always remained a hindrance in the development path. It has been observed that even when a nation has achieved economic propensity social inequality has always been a concern. Women, in this area are the most vulnerable group. Socio-economic and political discrimination against women has always been the crux of the problem of deterrents from achieving inclusive growth. On the other hand, women have been the central of development initiatives of the nation. They are capable of contributing to the development process. In fact, a country’s prosperity depends much on the involvement of women in mainstream development programmes. Instead, many international organizations, and Government of India have observed that the issues related to women and, therefore their participation are mostly left out of the primary development goals, which result in a further delayed and disjoined process of change. As a result, international organisations have suggested measures to reduce gender discrimination and evolve a holistic approach to development. In this context Government of India has initiated proactive measures to incorporate the issues of women in its development agenda. For decades, such initiative has brought a positive change in the lives of the people and as a result, to the entire nation

  • Abstract
  • |
    • One of the oft discussed concerns today in different fora and platforms is the steady erosion of human values. The fast expansion of digital technologies, the rise of individualism and materialism, coupled with a decline in value education right from the family level to a redefinition of moral norms are some of the critical challenges to value ecosystems in our society. The erosion of human values is seen right from the individual level to families and to institutions and the society at large. While many are conscious of human values within their realm of conscience, yet they think practicing these are impediments to their materialistic growth. Others think these as ancient notions with no practical relevance. This chapter will explore the varied perspectives of young people on human values and try to argue on the need to reclaim our value ecosystems for a more happier and joyful world.

    • Mahatma Gandhi had said, “If we are to reach real peace in this world and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with children.” (Young India, 19-11-1931) As every individual is responsible for contributing towards a culture of peace and nonviolence and mutual co-existence, it would be imperative to encourage children and adolescents to develop capacities to contribute to dialogues and constructive conflict resolution skills. These are important ingredients of today’s life skill education. Further, in the backdrop of today’s hypertechnological communication environment as children and adolescents are exposed to different tools of communication right from a very young age and are able to contribute to various media platforms, it would be essential to help develop their capacities to construct media messages which are dialogical in nature, promotes mutual respect and understanding, and overall contributes towards a culture of peace. This paper would examine how by participating and taking the lead in developing media platforms, children and adolescents, as part of media literacy programmes, are able to encourage dialogue for peace. The paper would also examine how integration of nonviolent communication in participatory children media platforms can help in the amplification of peace orientation amongst young people.
