The workshop is set under the theme “Using a better understanding context to meet current challenges and build a more responsive approach to education in South Sudan within the frame work of the Naivasha conference action plan.”

According to Kuol Atem Bol, the acting Director General for Alternative Education, the workshop is set to ensure that peace education is included as a component in all the subjects.

This comes after the Naivasha International conference on Peace Education the was held from 4th to 6th December last year for post conflict countries.

“Peace education is very important for our generation because especially if it is masterminded in the national curriculum so that children grow in peaceful environment,” he said.

He added that the move is to ensure peace where children will not talk about themselves in terms of tribes to create a generation that will love each other for peaceful coexistence.

“We are saying that peace education should be included in all the subjects of the national school curriculum,” Atem said.

  1. The “Theory of Iceality” is the Aesthetics of the relationship between Humans and their Environment through the Arts, ultimately promoting an effective sustainable global Culture of Peace for all Living things.

    At the ARK in Berea, Davcomment_ID Jakupca, Spiritual Father of the Environmental Arts Movement, states that; “The special ‘Theory of Iceality’ belongs to a class of “principle-theories”. As such it employs an analytic method. This means that the three elements which comprise this theory, Humanitarian, Environmental, Arts and Culture, are not based on hypothesis but on empirical discovery. The empirical discovery leads to understanding the general characteristics of natural processes”.

    Practical models can then be developed which separate the natural processes into theoretical-mathematical descriptions. Therefore, by analytical means the necessary conditions that have to be satisfied are deduced. Separate events must satisfy these conditions. Experience should then match the conclusions.

    The special ‘Theory of Iceality’ and the general natural processes are connected. As stated above, the special ‘Theory of Iceality’ applies to all inertial physical phenomena and its relation to all other forces of nature.

    Although it is wcomment_IDely acknowledged that American Cultural Ambassadors Davcomment_ID and Renate Jakupca are the creators of the Theory of Iceality in its modern understanding, They are also responsible for enlightening the art community to the new genre of Art when they founded the International Center for Environmental Arts (ICEA) in 1987 at the historic ARK in Berea , Ohio. ICEA was organized into three divisions: Environmental, Humanities, Arts and Culture, and as the first professional art organization to be solely dedicated to this endeavor, this has made ICEA to be the leading force in the Environmental arts and a force for socially responsible activity.

    According to Jakupca, beginning with ICEA, the Environmental Arts Genre has grown professionally exponentially and has over the past decades spawned a wcomment_IDe variety of very similar phrases and art terms such as; eco art, land art, ecoventions, natural art, green art, outdoor art, earth art, recycled art, sustainable art, ecodedsign, etc. These can be all be conscomment_IDered sub-categories under the umbrella of the main Environmental Art Genre.

    Jakupca asserts that, “Respect for human and environmental rights and greater understanding between people from different racial and religious backgrounds must be the first step of society in today’s fast-changing, globalized world.” The goal is accomplished according to Jakupca, “Is by focusing on the creative process and affirming that Environmental Art is a catalyst for social change by empowering participants, transforming environments and contributing to collective healing and economic development.”

    Jakupca’s Theory on Environmental Arts (ICEALITY*) was enthusiastically embraced by the United Nations by 1990 and was featured in many of their World Conferences;

    1- 1992 Earth Summit on the Environment, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
    2- 1993 World Conference on Human Rights, Vienna, Austria
    3- 1994 World Conference on Population and Development, Cairo, Egypt
    4- 1995 World Conference on Women, Beijing, China
    5- 1996 Habitat II- UN Conference on Human Settlements, Istanbul, Turkey
    6- 2000 World’s Fair, Expo2000, Hannover, Germany
    7- 2001 World Conference on Racism, Durban, South Africa
    8- 2002 World Summit on Sustainability, Johannesburg, South Africa
    9- 2003 World Conference on Peace, Verbania, Italy
    10- 2005 World Conference on Peace, Verbania, Italy
    11- 2007 World Peace Conference, Santa Fe, New Mexico

    The result of this major global public promotion at the United Nations level, is that the Theory of Iceality on Environmental Arts is now conscomment_IDered as the cornerstone of the modern sustainable global Environmental Art Movement and this concept is now replicated by artists, architects, urban planners and sustainable organizations throughout the World. However, it must be noted that not all of Jakupca’s contemporaries dcomment_ID accepted the new theory at once.

    *Iceality is the measure of the connection between arts, civic engagement and the environment, which can be defined as promoting a sustainable positive and peaceful quality of life for all living things.
