Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the application of an upbringing for peace program and its evaluation. It is a program of intervention into the socializational process of pre-school children directed towards preparing children for cooperation and other non-violent forms of communication with the environment. This program prepares children for life in the world as it is, enabling them to recognize danger within themselves or others in time to avoid or conquer it together with others, choosing cooperation instead of conflict, happiness with - and not at the expense of another person. Three evaluators (a kindergarten teacher and two observers-members of the children's center expert team) assessed the cooperativeness and constructiveness as well as the satisfaction with exercises and contents they brought about. The evaluation results indicate a positive trend which confirms the program's success.
