Annotated list of Taking Action for Peace: some recently updated Peace Movement Website - A short briefing by librarian Martyn Lowe.
As the Danish militarism has grown since the fall of the Berlin Wall, peace education has vanished from Danish schools. At the same time there is a growing need for peace education on all levels in the educational system. Students as well as educated persons write to us, asking for help and advise on peace related topics.
Since there are few people in the Danish peace movements I have come upon the idea of making an Internet based Danish Peace Academy. Thus we save the money for renting and can in some ways automatize some of the work. The basic idea is to get some peace and war related lessons written to the students and teachers where they, while learning about peace and war, also learn to use the Internet. To aid the lessons there have been developed databases and reference tools, mostly, at the present, by me, I'm afraid, but new lessons are beginning to arrive in the Peace Academy.
November 2000 we established a working group which is evaluating the Peace Academy.
