Abstract/Notes: This chapter explores various calls for alternative visions for education, especially those calling more specifically for equivalents of education of the heart. While education of the heart has been one of the primary goals within various educational systems, especially within the global south, there have been several synergetic concepts like Learning To Live Together, Social Emotional Learning, Global Citizenship Education, Emotional Intelligence, and peace education that have emerged across the world. Drawing on practitioners’ vision, the chapter emphasises the role of education for harmony (within oneself and in the wider world) for building a commitment to the wellbeing of oneself, others, and the world at large, with the hope that this will inevitably shape an intrinsically and naturally just, peaceful, and harmonious society.

Abstract/Notes: This chapter explores classroom practices for education for harmony. It emphasises the role of pedagogy (how to teach) over curricula (what to teach). It explores a range of pedagogical practices, including dialogic teaching, peer- and project-based learning, meditation, reflection, and social action. Thereafter, the chapter highlights the importance of a lived experience-based pedagogy as a means of bringing about an intrinsic form of education for harmony. Such pedagogy relies on embodied education, recognition that everything and everyone is a potential educator, as well as awareness that education is a continuous process that extends beyond textbooks, curricula, and schools’ four walls.

Abstract/Notes: This chapter unpacks the nuances and limitations of developing a conceptual framework and then proposes an interconnected framework with three domains (discovery of the self, other, and world) and six dimensions (awareness, empathetic and caring relations, sense of purpose, change in perspective, compassionate action, and meaningful engagement). The framework embodies a non-anthropocentric perspective, with the domains including other living and non-living things beyond human society. The domains are related through one’s responsibility and commitment to each other and their wellbeing, whilst similarly the dimensions are interconnected, as the development of one leads to the development of others.
