The Power of Empathy Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: UNESCO This photobook is a tribute to the power of empathy and solidarity felt and expressed by young people.

The Teaching of the Holocaust in Latin America the Challenges for Educators and Legislators Year of publication: 2017 Author: María Celeste Adamoli | Emmanuel Kahan, Pablo Luzuriaga | Ministerio de Educación Corporate author: UNESCO Santiago This book provides an overview of opportunities that may arise from educating about the Holocaust in diverse cultural contexts and educational situations, with a special focus on Latin American countries. We can actually be away from the places where the genocide against the Jewish people was perpetrated, but Latin America is still taking charge of its own past of violence and crimes against humanity. With this publication, Latin American educators will have at their fingertips an updated account of the most outstanding topics that are discussed on pedagogy and policy making. You can also explore how, even today in Europe, education about the Holocaust shapes a culture of memory. On the other hand, you can see how in other places the memory of the Holocaust can be a starting point to relate to other difficult pasts. UNESCO is convinced that the prevention of genocide begins at school. In a world where mass violence is possible, this publication will show the importance of teaching young people about the Holocaust and about other genocides in history. It is a condition to prevent similar crimes from happening in the future. 
Backtalk: The Participatory Film and Its Residency in the Space of Cultural Violence and Creative Education towards a Conceptual Understanding of Peace Year of publication: 2017 Author: Ruchika Gurung Corporate author: Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development (MGIEP) Cultural violence is defined as the beliefs, attitudes and values that justify structural and direct violence (Galtung 1990). It dulls us into seeing exploitation and repression as normal or in not actively witnessing it, and the media plays a vital role in its dissemination. Media and in particular film studies occupies a space through which notions of culture, ideology, peace and violence are negotiated.While the observational approach to film is well established in education, participatory filmmaking as an educational tool is what this paper addresses, with reference to concepts of cultural violence and peace education.This paper uses Brantmeier’s (2011) five stage model, that encourages social and cultural change towards a future that is nonviolent, sustainable and renewable, and Bery’s (2003) conceptualisation of empowerment to propose that participatory film functions as a transformative creative process and challenges notions of identity and culture while helping learners describe the world around them (Zembylas & Bekerman 2013).Through analysing existing cases in the field of participatory video (Schwab-Cartas & Mitchell 2014), the author argue that participatory film functions as a tool for creative education practices that promotes a more hands-on approach to raising awareness about cultural violence and engaging with identity formation, and as a creative tool for knowledge creation and dissemination.

Citizenship and Culture of Peace in Educational Reform Year of publication: 2005 Author: Raúl Zepeda López, María del Rosario Toj, Edgar Florencio Montúfar Corporate author: UNESCO The concern raised by the themes and contents of civic education and the culture of peace in childhood and youth are issues that are felt in various academic sectors, in social organizations and educational authorities that sometimes translate into articles in the media, where, among other things, one speaks of "the loss of values", generally having as reference to the young generations and making invisible that this loss is mainly present in the adult generations, which are responsible for this situation. These concerns, in spite of that conscious ambiguity, are not gratuitous. They can be a starting point to become aware of the need to develop new capacities and values, the absence of which young Latin Americans identify in their political and social leaders, as has been pointed out in cited studies, carried out by UNICEF for Latin America and for Beatriz de Cazali for Guatemala. The need to respond to this concern is also present in the participants in the dialogues and municipal consensus (2000), as well as among authorities and curriculum developers of MINEDUC in the last five-years.

International Symposium on Cultivating Wisdom, Harvesting Peace: Educating for a Culture of Peace through Values, Virtues, and Spirituality of Diverse Cultures, Faiths, and Civilizations; Symposium Recommendations Year of publication: 2005 Corporate author: Griffith University. Multi-Faith Centre On the 10-13th August 2005, over 120 delegates from 25 countries gathered at the International Symposium to share their inspirational insights and experiences on the theme of “Cultivating Wisdom, Harvesting Peace.” The Symposium was organized and hosted by the Multi-Faith Centre of Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia with the support of Pure Land Learning College, UNESCO and various UNESCO National Commissions, centres or offices, and numerous faith, interfaith, educational and civil society organizations and institutions. Reflecting a diversity of cultures, faiths and spirituality traditions, the delegates presented rich and empowering stories as well as critical analyses of how communities, institutions, civil society organizations, and international or global agencies have organized educational projects and programs to address the root causes of violence and conflicts and build a culture of peace at all levels of life. Over four intensive days of inter-faith and intra-faith dialogue, the Symposium participants engaged with humility and passion in sharing their wisdoms on ways to promote mutual understanding, solidarity, and cooperation across cultures and national boundaries. While recognizing that differences between faiths and cultures need to be understood, the dialogue also clearly showed that all faiths, cultures, and civilizations have, at their core, key values, virtues, and ethical principles that inspire and sustain peaceful relationships, communities and societies.The Symposium also highlighted the urgent need for exemplars and possibilities for transforming principles, values and visions into personal and social actions and practices in all the multiple dimensions of a culture of peace. In this first decade of the 21st century, it is clear that there are still many formidable challenges of building peace posed by prevailing realities of conflicts and violence in local, national, international and global contexts. The Symposium on “Cultivating Wisdom, Harvesting Peace” was therefore a most timely and relevant event, not only for promoting the urgent dialogue needed, but also most importantly in proposing constructive policies for educational transformation worldwide. This Summary of the Symposium Recommendations will hopefully be a very helpful document for the implementation of effective and creative strategies and practices of educating for wisdom towards a culture of peace. It is offered to government leaders, policy makers, educators, and leaders and members of diverse faith and interfaith institutions and communities in all societies and regions, in the hope that we will join our minds, hearts and spirit in solidarity to build a “one world” of peace, compassion, justice, love and diverse shared values for the well being of a common humanity and earth community
