This article highlights the importance of education to promote the culture of peace and solidarity in schools. Considering the different kinds of violence daily expressed in society, human rights education emerges as an alternative in the seeking of answers to the innumerable existing conflicts at school and its surroundings. From the understanding that schools are the germ of change of individuals, who bring in themselves the essence of such modification through the potentialities that one can develop, the student should be placed at the center of this process. Also, one should think of an education that values and respects the student in his/her differences and, at the same time, shows that the future can be built based on citizenship.
