Page 3 of 3 2. Concentration in Interfaith Peacebuilding At UTS, peace education in the religious education context is fundamentally inter-religious, that is, transcending any single religion, race, nation or culture. Furthermore, the knowledge that the religious educator imparts does more than just promote tolerance of the other; it contains within it the impulse towards harmony and peace among all members of the human family. The curriculum includes components which enable students to: (1) learn universal principles of peacebuilding; (2) examine how religions can either exacerbate or ameliorate conflict; (3) understand the religious “other”; and (4) gain practical skills and experience for peacebuilding and educating for peace. [Learning Outcomes] The following course requirements apply to all students taking this concentration. Courses listed are for 3 credits unless otherwise noted.
