Few words about sciences of the peace that are fundamentally sciences of relationship and soon after, sciences of education. ’There is aneed to create an educational (global) village, in which all people, accordingto their respective roles, share the task of forming a network of open, humanrelationships’, this is Pope Francis’ message for the launch of the Global Compact on Education, that for us is the global compact on relationship and on peace.

很少有关于“和平科学”的修饰词，从根本上讲是关系科学，也是未来的教育科学。“有必要建立一个全球化的教育村，让所有人根据各自的角色共同承担建立开放的人际关系网络”，这是教皇方济各为发起全球教育契约而传达的信息。对我们而言，教育的全球化，是关于关系与和平的全球契约。
