To this end, it analyzes the construction of the concept of “culture of peace” and its relevance for combating violence faced by young people and children in the Brazilian school environment. Furthermore, try to relate the “culture of peace” with the fundamental right to education, and with education “in” and “for” human rights. The methodology used is basic research, with a qualitative approach, using the hypotheticaldeductive method, based on bibliographic and documentary research.
