Keywords:
International Student Collaboration, Global Education, World Peace, Diversity, ToleranceAbstract
Achieving world peace is a complex challenge, especially in light of global conflicts, cultural differences, and social tensions. Education is a powerful tool for bridging gaps between young people from different nations, fostering a deeper understanding of diversity, and encouraging collaborative efforts to address pressing global issues. This article investigates the role of international student collaboration in education as a means to promote world peace. Using a library research method, it examines various collaborative models such as online collaborative learning, cultural exchange programs, and cross-border team projects. The findings suggest that international educational collaboration not only enhances students’ global competencies but also instills essential values such as tolerance, empathy, and solidarity. However, several obstacles hinder the full potential of these collaborations, including technological challenges, differences in curricula, and a lack of policy support. To overcome these challenges, strategic solutions are needed. This article outlines recommendations for optimizing international educational collaboration as a sustainable strategy for fostering global peace, emphasizing the need for more inclusive, accessible, and supportive policies to enhance cross-cultural exchanges and student engagement in peacebuilding activitiesReferences
