On the one hand, violent conficts and structural violence have detrimental efects on educational processes and outcomes. On the other hand, education itself can (re)produce structural violence in society. Bringing together the felds of social science and cognitive neuroscience, this chapter provides a multi-faceted lens through which to address the challenges of education in diferent confict contexts from around the world, highlighting that the search for a collective peaceful future is complex. %B Reimagining Education: The International Science and Evidence based Education Assessment. %E Edward Vickers %E K Pugh %E L Gupta %C New Delhi, India %L discovery10178995 %I UNESCO MGIEP %D 2022 %O This publication is available in Open Access under the AttributionShareAlike 3.0 IGO (CC-BY-SA 3.0 IGO) licence (http://creativecommons. org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/igo/).
