QnA with Sri Sri

 Q: Who will take up the role of educating the population and the children? How can UNESCO find the way to bring spirituality as a real component and not as a luxurious thought to our agenda? 
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Any big transformation in society depends on the four pillars of society:
1.The government
2.The civil societies; the NGOs
3.The media
4.The faith-based organizations, they also have a role to play
 When all these four avenues or pillars of society work in unison, only then any project can be successful; whether it is this child education or whatever. Any project in a society needs cooperation from these four corners.
 UNESCO can play a very important role in influencing all these four aspects of the society. The faith-based organization can influence the government; it can produce a system and tell all the governments to make multicultural, multi-faith education a part of the curriculum for children.
 I would say, even if every country in the West put one percentage of their defence budget in peace education, this world would be a better place to live.
