The paper outlines a construction for promoting peace in society through the discipline of history. Peace education subsumes more than content.Italso includes the ability to build a peaceful and fear-free environment using appropriate teaching methods and strategies. The most befitting strategy is building a child-cantered classroom where every child is free to share &express their opinions and views. The role of a teacher is to not just facilitate but also let students speak their mind out, thus promoting divergent thinking. History teachers play a crucial role in spreading the message for building a peaceful youth and a peaceful nation. They can establish such values and skills in students that will not only enable them to live peacefully but also live their life fully while embracing everyone and everything around them. Some of the peace building activities that can be incorporated by a history teacher in a classroom are group work, debate, colloquies, fishbowl activity, case study, value classification etc.
