It is a response to the global framework which includes the Safe Schools Declaration and the Guidelines for Protecting Schools and Universities from Military Use during Armed Conflict. This guide presents the purpose of Schools as Zones of Peace, key activities that can be implemented, and information to determine whether this model is appropriate for a given context. In all cases it is important to contextualise any activities chosen, and to be aware that not all tools will be appropriate in all contexts. Accompanying the guide are a set of illustrated postersavailable also in Arabic, French, Kurdish and Swahili, and the guidance on how to use them in French and Arabic.

Journal of Aggression, Conflict and Peace Research ISSN : 1759-6599 Article publication date: 1 June 2023 Issue publication date: 5 April 2024 The purpose of this study is to explore the understanding and observance of the program “This School is a Zone of Peace” (SZOP) in schools where conflict and violence are not prevalent. Design/methodology/approachThis paper followed a qualitative research tradition – narrative inquiry. Eight teachers and a school head participated in the study. Data were gathered through nonparticipant observation, photography and focus group discussion with photo elicitation. The participants elucidated the declaration, “This School is a Zone of Peace,” as a message of assurance to the community that the school is a home for learners that is welcoming and violence free. Furthermore, learners in a school that is a zone of peace are honed holistically with the participation, cooperation and togetherness of the school community members. Teachers at the forefront viewed themselves as mentors, implementers and models. Teachers contended that peacebuilding practices in schools could be sustained through regular implementation, encouraging others to get involved and have commitment. Originality/valueA handful of articles have illustrated the essence of the School as Zone of Peace program, which pointed out to create a culture of peace in schools; however, it leaned toward the negative conception of peace – the absence of conflict and violence. This study bared additional insights and fresh perspectives of the SZOP initiative observed in schools with different contexts and experiences that may be helpful to policymakers for the enhancement of the adapted program with the goal of peacebuilding to making schools highly functional. - Collaboration

This definition later expanded to include peace communities in post-conflict areas as well as peace experiences for communities that became displaced due to violence or war. ZoPs are often characterized by a triggering event, high levels of communal participation and cohesion, a wide variety of peacebuilding activities, and the need to continually negotiate their safety by practicing “active neutrality” with respect to groups of armed actors – state supporting, state opposing, or even criminal gangs. First created in the Philippines in the 1980s, ZoPs have been used most widely in Colombia during its civil conflict, but have analogues in El Salvador, West Africa, and elsewhere.

Due to the recent incidents of violence and armed conflict in Marawi City and the bombings and firefights near schools in Mankayan Town in Benguet, both of which resulted in the disruption of classes, the Department of Education (DepEd) deems it essential and timely to reiterate DepEd Order (DO) No. 44, s. 2005 entitled Declaration of Schools as Zones of Peace. 2. In the case of Marawi City, where as much as 20,000 learners are believed to be displaced, the Department has initiated interventions to accommodate these learners by extending enrolment until the end of June, and waiving the usual documentary requirements. DepEd believes that education must never stop, and instead should continue for these children to provide them hope, and bring back a sense of normalcy. 3. Worldwide, schools are universally treated as neutral zones despite being in the middle of intense armed conflict areas, and are free from the presence of armed combatants regardless of what side they are from. It is imperative that this point be stressed, and that the schools be accorded the same respect. Schools are places for learning, caring, and nurturing—a true second home for the learners. 4. Apart from reiterating the aforementioned DO, DepEd is also initiating a nationwide awareness campaign anchored on Schools as Zones of Peace. 5. In light of this, the following are instructed: a. All schools are instructed to post the official tarpaulin designs size three by eight feet (copy enclosed) declaring schools as Zones of Peace, at least two on both sides of the school front gate, and on all other sides of or around the school to make the message prominent and noticeable; b. Schools division and regional offices should assist in the reproduction of the aforementioned tarpaulins and ensure that all schools and offices have posted the said posters; c. The Department enjoins all personnel, stakeholders and the community as a whole to actively participate in and/or establish peace building initiatives to ensure the safety of the learners, personnel, and schools; and d. Encourage partnership and parallel efforts with respective local government units, local media, and other stakeholders to take part in the campaign. 6. Immediate dissemination of this Memorandum is desired. LEONOR MAGTOLIS BRIONES Secretary Can't Find What You'RE Looking For?We are here to help - please use the search box below.
