Different types of peace

Passive peace:  passive peace is simply the absence of violence or conflicts.

Active peace:  active peace refers to constructive measures taken to ensure a better life for all and sundry and not simply an absence of violence or conflicts. The building of active peace requires qualities such as the following:

• tolerance.
• listening.
• communication.
• acceptance of the existence of different perspectives or points of view on a specific issue .
• inclusion of the gender dimension .
• consideration of the element of urgency in crisis situations .
• cooperation.
• critical thinking.
• social responsibility.

However, these qualities may have to be consolidated through education.
