Abstract
The overarching goal of this chapter is to examine the role of innovation in education for sustainable peace. In order to elaborate on innovation, the chapter looks at the Montessori method of education, which places an emphasis on promoting the humanistic values of free inquiry, trust-building, and an awareness of oneself, others, and the environment. Afterwards, the chapter proceeds to discuss art, study-abroad programs, and virtual and/or online platforms as innovative strategies for promoting sustainable peace.
