Local peace education involves attitudes, skills and knowledge.
There are three key ingredients in the recipe for peace education; they are attitudes, skills and knowledge (or ASK). It is by developing these three things that individuals become more prepared, as individuals and in groups, to understand their community and actively contribute toward its improvement. Mosaic projects develop attitudes, skills and knowledge that activate citizens to work for a more just and peaceful world.
It's a more complete way to think about learning.
In school, we generally learn knowledge (about things like math and history). In some cases, we also developskills (like how to write and make presentations). But do school doesn't usually target our attitudes (like what we want to see change in the world). Peace education focuses on all three of these things and its activities seek to develop them all. Mosaic believes that people can take meaningful actions in their communities when they have the right sets of attitudes, skills and knowledge.
You couldn't ride a bike without the skills, even if you had the attitude and the knowledge.
Can you imagine how hard it would be to ride a bike if you knew how to use the bike (knowledge), you really wanted to ride the bike (attitude), BUT you didn't have the ability to pedal the bike (skills)? Or how useless it would be to try baking a cake if you knew the recipe (knowledge), had all the right abilities (skills) BUT had no desire whatsoever to actually bake that cake? Individuals cannot take meaningful action toward goals without attitudes, skills and knowledge. Two out of three are not enough.
