Working Group discussing Goal 16 “Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels”.
The quest for peace and justice is as old as the hills. The new SDG Goals recognize the inter-woven nature of peace and justice. In absence of peace, justice for all cannot be secured; while lasting peace is a necessary pre-condition for securing justice- social, cultural, political and economic.
This relationship is coming under increasing stress as freedom and justice are advanced as justification for violence; ideas of just and legitimate violence have gained currency.
Education is central to the advancement of the need for understanding the nature of violence and quest for justice. The forms of education include informal, community based and formal structures.
This workshop explored the following salient questions:
1) Understand the nature of emerging forms of violence.
2) Understand the processes by which violence is sought to be legitimized.
3) Understand the new ideas a justice – including cognitive justice.
4) Understand the intertwined nature of peace and justice.
5) Understand the nature of role of education in India.
6) Situate peace, justice and education in culture specific contacts.
These explorations lead to a deeper and layered understanding of sustainability. Societies choose what is permanent and what is transient. A society torn asunder by violence, a people denied justice cannot create harmonious present and sustainable futures.
