Purpose of study: The purpose of this study is to propose an education for biblical Shalom for the future of education in relation to UNESCO 2050. Research content and method: The education for Shalom is about experiencing Shalom in fellowship with God. Moreover, it expands that shalom into relationships with self, neighbors, the earth, and technology, and then helps achieving balance between Shalom and those mentioned above. In order to provide education for Shalom, this study presented five relational dimensions of experiencing Shalom. First, the joy of serving God and neighbors in a proper personal relationship with God is most important. Second, it is the joy of building a right community and living in it through harmonious relationships with neighbors. Third, it is the joy of living in a harmonious relationship with nature. Fourth, it is the joy of being respected for human rights that are dignified as the image of God and living while enjoying rights. Fifth, it is the joy of enjoying fair use and benefits from technological innovation without being alienated, excluded and treated unfairly, or receiving disadvantages. Based on that, a model of education for Shalom has been developed. Conclusions and Suggestions: The educational model for Shalom forms view of values, knowledge, and human nature through the Bible. It consists of learning strategies to maintain a balance between the form of knowledge and the five relational dimensions. This model has a structure that carries out education for Shalom while interacting with each other.
