Sumario:Peace education in school contexts involves improving student’s skills to coexist peacefully and to arrive at the peaceful resolution of conflict with their peers. Many educational insti­tutions from different contexts have started making efforts in this direction. Unfortunately, these experiences or their results are insufficiently documented. This paper attempts to offer a state-of-the-art analysis, identifying the main characteristics of a set of interventions that took place between 2005 and 2021. These interventions draw on two themes: peaceful co­existence and conflict resolution. It was found that most programs include strategies such as: students training on competencies and skills, the implementation of mediation programs, social support and demands prioritization and classification. Based on the analysis of do­cumented experiences we put forward some recommendations that may strengthen future interventions on Education for Peace.
