Pedagogical Guide for an Intercultural, Anti-racist and Gender Perspective Education: Ideas, Experiences and Tools Year of publication: 2017 Author: Carolina Stefoni | Andrea Riedemann | Fernanda Stang | Andrea Guerrero | Antonia Garcés | Marta Camarena Corporate author: Programa Interdisciplinario de Estudios Migratorios (PRIEM) | Universidad Alberto Hurtado | Fundación para la Superación de la Pobreza (FUSUPO) The main purpose of this Guide is, then, to share some ideas, tools and experiences that can help build and walk the path towards an intercultural, anti-racist and gender perspective education in various educational spaces. It is directed primarily - though not exclusively, of course - to all those people who are part of formal and informal teaching-learning processes. It is important to emphasize that the Guide does not pretend to be a recipe for a mechanical application, but a tool box that each educational community can use considering its specific context, its particular needs and its potentialities. 
Inclusion at the University of Meritorious Students in Situations of Social Vulnerability Year of publication: 2015 Author: Marcela Orellana | Karla Moreno | Francisco Javier Gil Corporate author: UNESCO Santiago | UNESCO Chair on Inclusion in Higher Education The first edition of this work was published by the OREALC / UNESCO Santiago for its dissemination among those attending the Education for All Ministerial Meeting in Latin America and the Caribbean: Balance and Challenges post 2015, within the framework of the Regional Education Project for America Latin America and the Caribbean (PRELAC), held in Lima, Peru on October 30 and 31, 2014. In this second edition, we are pleased to add other inclusion mechanisms that arise from the commitment of the UNESCO Chair in Inclusion in Higher Education, the valuable support from non-profit private foundations and the support of OREALC / UNESCO Santiago. The generation of these alliances constitutes a fundamental contribution to the collection of relevant information for the design of public policy proposals aimed at reducing the inequality gaps in higher education, guaranteeing the right to a quality education and to collaborate in the construction of societies with greater social justice.

La generación de estas alianzas constituye un aporte fundamental para el levantamiento de información relevante para el diseño de propuestas de políticas públicas tendientes a disminuir las brechas de desigualdad en la educación superior, a garantizar el derecho a una educación de calidad y a colaborar a la construcción de sociedades con mayor justicia social. 
“Just Don’t Moralize!” Emotional Processes in the Pedagogical Engagement with National Socialism Year of publication: 2008 Author: Gudrun Brockhaus The original title: “Bloß nicht moralisieren!” Emotionale Prozesse in der pädagogischen Auseinandersetzung mit dem Nationalsozialismus(Einsichten und Perspektiven, Bayerische Zeitschrift für Politik und Geschichte, 1(8), pp. 28–33.) The article is a critical reflection on the outcomes of an empirical study (Kühner 2008; Kühner et al. 2008), based on a psychological/psychoanalytical perspective: how should we deal with emotions when dealing with the Holocaust? The author highlights the teachers’ very high expectations regarding the emotional Betroffenheit, the pressure on consensus, and the tabooisation of “political incorrectness” in the classroom, tendencies that can lead to a problematic teacher-student relationship. Thus, teachers encounter specific didactical difficulties and show a certain lack of self-assertion. Brockhaus assumes that this is based on how the teacher relates, as a person and as a pedagogue, to the heritage of National Socialism. Brockhaus concludes by insisting on the necessity to reflect openly, as students and as teachers, on the emotional processes and the reluctance caused by the topic of the Holocaust in this society. The above abstract is taken from the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance Education Research Project. Please also consult the full list of abstracts in 15 languages and the accompanying publication Research in Teaching and Learning about the Holocaust: A Dialogue Beyond Borders.

Building Intercultural Citizenship through Education: A Human Rights Approach Year of publication: 2008 Author: Rodolfo Stavenhagen This article analyses the challenges posed by traditional ethnic and linguistic minorities in multicultural states and more specifically the problems faced by indigenous peoples and communities. Their educational and cultural needs and demands are increasingly being framed in the language of human rights, based on the expanding international legal and institutional human rights system. The United Nations World Conference on Human Rights, held in Vienna in 1993, endorsed a rights-based approach to development, human rights education is a growing field in educational practice, respect for cultural diversity is now enshrined in international and domestic laws, and the right of every person to education and to culture has become a mainstay of international human rights principles to which a majority of the world's states has subscribed. 
Наше творч разно: Доклад Всемирной комиссии по культуре и развитию; сокращенный вариант Year of publication: 1996 Corporate author: World Commission on Culture and Development This report is designed to address a diversified audience across the world that ranges from community activists, field workers, artists and scholars to government officials and politicians. We want it to inform the world’s opinion leaders and to guide its policy-makers. We want it to capture the attention of the world’s intellectual and artistic communities, as well as the general public. We aim to have shown them how culture shapes all our thinking, imagining and behaviour. It is the transmission of behaviour as well as a dynamic source for change, creativity, freedom and the awakening of innovative opportunities. For groups and societies, culture is energy, inspiration and empowerment, as well as the knowledge and acknowledgment of diversity: if cultural diversity is ‘behind us, around us and before us”, as Claude L&i-Strauss put it, we must learn how to let it lead not to the clash of cultures, but to their fruitful coexistence and to intercultural harmony. Just as in the tasks of building peace and consolidating democratic values, an indivisible set of goals, so too economic and political rights cannot be realized separately from social and cultural rights. The challenge to humanity is to adopt new ways of thinking, new ways of acting, new ways of organizing itself in society, in short, new ways of living. The challenge is also to promote different paths of development, informed by a recognition of how cultural factors shape the way in which societies conceive their own futures and choose the means to attain these futures. I have for some time been concerned with the “culture of peace”. There is now considerable evidence that neglect of human development has been one of the principal causes of wars and internal armed conflicts, and that these, in turn, retard human development. With government complicity and with the intention of raising export receipts, private businesses continue to sell advanced military technology, nuclear materials and equipment for the production of bacteriological and chemical warfare. The concept of state sovereignty which still prevails today has increasingly come under scrutiny. In the area of peace-keeping, the distinction between external aggression and internal oppression is often unrealistic. The predominant threat to stability are violent conflicts within countries and not between them. There is an urgent need to strengthen international human rights law. Many of the most serious troubles come from within states – either because of ethnic strife or repressive measures by governments. Conditions that lead to tyranny and large-scale violations of human rights at home sooner or later are likely to spill over into a search for enemies abroad. The temptation of repressive states to export internal difficulties is great. Consider the Soviet Union’s invasion of Hungary and Czechoslovakia after it had used domestic oppression and the persistent refusal - for many years - of the previous South African governments to grant independence to Namibia. An ounce of prevention is better than a ton of punishment. Education, diversité et cohésion sociale en Méditerranée occidentale Year of publication: 2010 Author: Sobhi Tawil | Abdeljalil Akkari | Bouthaïna Azami Corporate author: UNESCO La diversité culturelle constitue une caractéristique essentielle des différentes sociétés de la région de la Méditerranée occidentale où une multitude de traditions religieuses et culturelles se sont côtoyées et réciproquement influencées, créant ainsi une mosaïque sociale particulièrement intéressante. Or, la diversité, source de créativité et d'enrichissement culturel, peut aussi amener à renforcer les tensions sociales et creuser les divisions, menaçant ainsi la cohésion sociale à l'intérieur des sociétés comme entre les pays de la région. En effet, des événements récents ont attiré l'attention sur des tensions sociales et politiques liées à l'identité et à la cohésion sociale dans un contexte de mondialisation, d’accroissement des disparités des niveaux de développement économique entre les deux rives de la Méditerranée occidentale et de diversification grandissante des flux migratoires, contexte trop souvent marqué, par ailleurs, par une exacerbation du phénomène de l’exclusion sociale, de la montée de la xénophobie et de l’extrémisme religieux. Conscients de l’importance de la contribution essentielle de l’éducation pour promouvoir un dialogue interculturel axé sur les principes d’équité, de justice, et de respect de la dignité et de la diversité culturelle, la Chaire UNESCO Droits de l’homme et éthique de la coopération internationale de l’Université de Bergame, le Bureau multipays de l’UNESCO à Rabat, et l’ISESCO ont conjointement lancé, en 2007, le projet Education, diversité et cohésion sociale en Méditerranée occidentale. Le projet s’inscrit dans une dynamique de recherche, de dialogue et d’action, renforçant ainsi les efforts de chacun des trois partenaires visant à promouvoir la culture de la justice et de la paix. Cette recherche propose de nouveaux éclairages sur le rôle des systèmes éducatifs nationaux dans la promotion du respect de la diversité et le renforcement de la cohésion sociale, et esquisse des pistes d’action et de coopération. Nous formons le vœu que cet ouvrage commun, fruit des travaux de recherche se rapportant au projet, puisse contribuer à la promotion du respect de la diversité et de la cohésion sociale en Méditerranée occidentale. ПЕРЕКЛИКАЮЩИЕСЯ ГОЛОСА: Десятая годовщина принятия Всеобщей декларации ЮНЕСКО о культурном разнообразии Year of publication: 2011 Corporate author: UNESCO This founding text was the first to acknowledge cultural diversity as “the common heritage of humanity”. It is with great pride that UNESCO is commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Declaration. Commemorate – from the Latin cum memorare – means quite literally “to remember together” or “to remember with”. This collection is compiled the voices of all those who have contributed to the heightening of human awareness by throwing into relief the inestimable value of cultural diversity. These excerpts from books, articles and statements by global intellectual and political leaders, artists and Nobel Prize-winners all call for the safeguarding of cultural diversity, which is inseparable from respect for human dignity. Their voices resound in bearing witness to the strength of cultural diversity and to its capacity to enlighten the minds of women and men. We are duty-bound to ensure that it is central to public policies and a resource for development and dialogue among nations. The United Nations was born of the determination of men and women “to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war...”. In accordance with that principle, UNESCO was established on a key idea, expressed at the very beginning of its Constitution: “... since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed”. In the world today, globalized, connected and interdependent as never before, this mission is more vital than ever. The rapprochement of peoples and cultures requires a commensurately global awareness. Cultural diversity has always been at the heart of international relations. It is also, increasingly, a feature of the contemporary mixed and plural societies in which we live. In view of this reality, we must formulate appropriate public policies and rethink the mechanisms of social cohesion and civic participation. How can we build common ground on the basis of such diversity? How can we construct genuine moral and intellectual solidarity of humanity? Any new vision of humanism must be grounded itself in the dynamism and diversity of cultural heritage. It is a source of inspiration and knowledge to be shared and a means of broadening our horizons. The goal of the UNESCO Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity is to provide keys and benchmarks for capitalizing on this wealth. There can be no sustainable governance if cultural diversity is not acknowledged. There can be no economic and social development if specific features of every culture are belittled and ignored.
