This paper presents a case study of a peace-based education program piloted in Mexico. An analysis of the interactions among the micro, meso, and macro levels sheds light on how the benefits, challenges, and impact of synergic action contribute towards building a culture of peace. The paper concludes that the best strategy for crime prevention is education for peace. This requires multi-stakeholder collaboration to create transcendental solutions that go to the roots of the problem of violence in Mexico rather than simply fighting its symptoms
