Resource Kit on Promoting Culture of Peace through Cultural Heritage

The Teacher Resource kit originally developed under the Norway funded project, "Mapping of Cultural Assets in KP and Punjab" has been revised, updated and reproduced with newly developed resource material for teachers under the fund of the inter-sectoral platform "Post Conflict and Post
Disaster" (PCPD). The revised kit aims to build the capacity of teachers and allow them to inculcate the concepts of tolerance and peaceful co-existence among the students. The interactive and inter-disciplinary approach that the kit has emphasized will help teachers and students in different disciplines to explore heritage in relation to legal framework, identity, tourism, environment and peace.
