Aceh Programs on Peace
and Nonviolence
The Peace Education Program in Aceh is led by Dr.
Asna Husin and has 2 major programs: Peacebuilding for ULama (Islamic
clerics), and Peace Education in the High Schools of Aceh.
We have
recently published a huge resource manual, entitled Kurikulum Pendidikan
Damai: Perspectif Ulama Aceh (Peace Education Curriculum: An Ulama
perspective) At 366 pages, this resource manual is being used by
Ulama and others in Aceh to strengthen activities for peace.
Copies can be obtained from our Aceh program or the Washington DC
office. We expect English and Arabic versions to be available soon.
Our peace
education program in the high schools of Aceh uses a 2nd edition
resource manual developed by our staff. We currently reach
students in more than 100 high schools.
Given the
civil war in Aceh, programs such as these have been very difficult
to implement. On the other hand, the need for these services.
