ABSTRACT

Based on my practical experience with multicultural education and antiracism training in Brussels, this chapter inquires into how these programs may be enriched by peace education and how peace education may find some support in them for its rationale. However, above all, I attempt to show that this practical experience demonstrates primarily that when one cultivates mutual understanding on a longterm basis, it is interesting to develop a triangle consisting of education, mediation, and legislation as a frame of reference. This applies not only to multicultural education and antiracism training but also to peace education.
