Résumé : Baha’i families strive proactively to create egalitarian relationships based on the principles of human dignity and open consultation. Moreover, the struggles and changes being wrought within families are seen as being analogous to the macro forces at work in the world. In the traditional Kenyan context, the role of parents as educators and agents of socialization was often taken for granted. Education is related to educational practices in everyday life, with interrelationships between the family and its environment and changes in the family. By understanding the values and how they are transmitted to children, people begin to understand why global citizenship may very well be rooted in the survival of families in a world that is changing and often accompanied by traumatic events. Although the aims and contents of education for peace and for environmental responsibility are continuously taking shape, they will include education for peace, cooperation, nonviolence, international understanding, and environmental responsibility.
