Education is a fundamental part of the process by which individuals are socialized, thereby acquiring values, attitudes and behavioural patterns.

By presenting the learner with communicative practices different from his/her own, language teaching offers an excellent means of promoting values and representations favouring the development of a culture of peace.

The Linguapax project, to promote understanding between communities and peace through the teaching of languages, has the following aims:

• To contribute to the promotion of plurilingual education, especially through teacher training.
• To direct plurilingual education towards a culture of peace.
• To prepare teaching instruments to aid plurilingual education and the teaching of foreign languages.
  

The Linguapax activities in the field of education take the form of:

• The organisation of training seminars directed at professionals in the field of teaching, especially the field of plurilingual education.
  
• The preparation, practical testing and publication of teaching material.
  
• The creation of an international school network that shares the Linguapax philosophy. To join the network click here:
