| Summary: | Introduction: This article reassesses the need to educate for peace in the societies impregnated with violence that we have established. In this endeavor, it looks at the violence that the educational system reproduces as a social subsystem.
Method: According to Galtung's (1985) classification of violence, we can observe that the educational system reproduces direct violence (e.g., physical or psychological harm, labels, contempt, insults, punishments), structural violence (abuses of power, hierarchies, unilateral dialogue, verticality, the relationship of supremacy of the expert to the learner, standardization, normativity, among others) and cultural violence (reproduction of gender roles, stereotypes, racism, etc.) Thus, we need to learn to be aware of them and make them visible so as not to end up reproducing them systematically as has been the norm in history. Through the Deconstruction-Reconstruction methodology, it is necessary to deconstruct this violence in order to reconstruct educational practices in favor of peace.
Conclusions: In this task, Herrero Rico (2013, 2019a, 2019b) proposes a Reconstructive-Empowering Peace Education (the REM approach) that focuses on the reconstruction of our human competencies to make peace and on our empowerment to take those competencies into action. This approach deconstructs violence and reconstructs ways of making peace from what we teach, what would be the contents, how we teach that would be the methodologies we use, as well as where we teach, which would be what contexts we generate.
