These initiatives operate on a relatively small scale, often reaching individual schools or teachers rather than the entire system, but they provide critical insights into how peace education is understood and institutionalized in post-war societies.

  1. The potential of education as a tool for peacebuilding while highlighting the structural and political barriers that constrain its effectiveness in BiH.
  2. The strategies and values of ongoing peace education initiatives, including how they navigate fragmented governance and political resistance.
  3. Concrete recommendations for practitioners and policymakers to strengthen the institutionalization and impact of peace education in postwar contexts.
