The general objective of the PeaceEdu project is to foster sustainable practices of Peace in Ukraine, Georgia, and Moldova through strengthening the capacity and capability of higher educational institutions in these countries to invest in the development of multidisciplinary peace education and peace studies. This will be achieved not only by supporting the relevant curriculum design and delivery of pilot courses but also by generating cross-regional network of learning as well as enhancing dialogue with best practices from other European countries.
