Peace, Pedagogy, and the Power of Today’s Global Conflict | Daryn Cambridge

Former PJSA Board Member, Daryn Cambridge (US Institute of Peace)

Daryn Cambridge talks about how peace and conflict educators challenge war, violence, and human suffering. At the end of this talk, Cambridge showed a 6-minute-video clip of Malala Yousafzai’s interview to Jon Stewart to illustrate positive peace. Malala experienced the worst form of direct physical violence and decided to fight back with peace and dialogue.
