The Campaign brought together religious leaders, lecturers, teachers and police officers.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of the campaign is to create awareness about the need to introduce peace in Cameroon schools. With Cameroon facing a very critical moment in its history, when everything has failed to bring back the peace that is desired and cherished, Cameroon needs to review its educational system. Peace education is a timely intervention and the best weapon to fight against terrorism and violence.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cPeace education is education for human dignity, and is capable of dismantling a culture of war that is pervading Cameroonian society,\u201d <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>said Mforndip Ben Oru, the coordinator of the Cameroon Peace Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>At the close of the launching, it was agreed that peace education is the pathway to a culture of peace. The next stop for the Campaign will be in Bamenda in the North West Region of Cameroon. The Campaign intends to visit all 10 regions of Cameroon.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Cameroon-peace-education.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-132817\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Cameroon-peace-education.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Cameroon-peace-education.jpg 675w, https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Cameroon-peace-education-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.peace-ed-campaign.org\/peace-ed-campaign-cameroon\/\" >Go to Original \u2013 peace-ed-campaign.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 6 Mar 2019, Cameroon Peace Foundation Association, in collaboration with the Global Campaign for Peace Education, launched a National Campaign for Peace Education in Buea.
