The fourteen chapters in Peace Education from the Grassroots tell how diverse organizations and people use diverse peace education strategies in different contexts. These chapters describe peace education initiatives organized through schools, peace organizations, and non-government organizations in which citizen actors engage in peace education activities as volunteers. Peace educators organizing with their peers in community based organizations can find out that they are not helpless in the face of violence and can make a difference by practicing and supporting peace education. Through these associations they find the courage to speak out against outrageous forms of violence. Such activities build a vibrant civil society.
