Sažetak
This is the first relatively complete account, but reduced review of peace education in Croatia. Peace education activities in Croatia start with the break of the Great-Serbian agression against Republic of Croatia. There are no peace education courses in the formal school system, they exist only within non-governmental organizations (NGO's) which are members of The Antiwar Campaign Croatia. The author lists five NGO's which have been dealing with peace education, the value framework of peace education efforts (a non-violent transformation of conflict, communications and conciliation between divided groups, etc. ; the protection of human rights and freedom of an individual or groups ; and the appeasement of consequences of the war and violence), and different programs and forms of peace edueation which have been organized. She especially describes two current projects (Project on training for peace teams and Peace studies program). The accaunt is based on the data collected in the first half of December 1998 by interviews led by the course participants and program leaders, observation of the classroom work and the analysis of the curriculum for the training. People who started to organise these programs are faced with a lot of difficulties and often with suspicious and unfriendly environment.
