Abstract
The main aim of this research is to suggest a group of pedagogical activities directed towards an education for peace and conflict solving in public schools at secondary level. The design of this research is non-experimental and its type is descriptive. The population is made up of all the teachers that work at secondary level at Municipio Sucre. The sample consisted of a total of 19 teachers in public education working parttime or full-time at secondary level. The instrument selected for the collection of data
was the questionnaire, not only because it permits the compilation of precise data that come directly from our unit of analysis, but also for its specific advantages such as flexibility and cost and time saving. We conducted a qualitative analysis using the results obtained from the questionnaire. The results indicate that 12 activities and strategies are the most practical, viable and efficient to be used in the educational process in order to build a culture of peace and conflict solving. These activities are: educate by example, talk about violence, dialog and communication, incorporate values in every activity, analyze films (film forum), workshop for parents, role plays, cooperative games, theater, leisure activities, and practice negotiation, mediation, conciliation and arbitration as alternative strategies to conflict solving and the preventive management of violence.
