Educating for peace from a society without peace is a proposal based in four conditions. The first condition relates to the human beings´ welfare situation, condition violated by poverty and misery in the world, so long these conditions exist it will be impossible to establish peace. Beyond the practice of living well, it has been proposed “a well living”, based on beings´ equality, no matter if they are human or not, all this in order to find a prosperous life for everyone.The second condition to establish peace refers to respect and concern for living human rights in all areas. The third condition is to promote and ”ead” (educating) society into a democratic life, it means that by via policy, peace can be achieved. The fourth condition is the disarmament, this means that guns and bullets don´t govern the people´s fate as has happened so far. Only in the extent that everybody gets involved in an educational process to live these four conditions it will be possible a living peace approach.
