For a Transnational History of Disability: Argentina, Brazil and Spain 20th Century Year of publication: 2022 Author: Gildas Bregain Corporate author: Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO) Publications on disability have been mostly limited to health, rehabilitation and education editorials. On the other hand, this new Editorial Series, open to social movements, platforms of struggle, academic groups, collaboration networks, public policy makers, citizens of all of our Latin America and the Caribbean and other latitudes of the global South, combines a multiplicity of edges, perspectives and approaches. This volume comes to occupy a vacant place in critical studies on disability in Latin America, which is to record the struggles for the rights of these people in our region. Introducing a historical problematization in this regard not only has an epistemological and political relevance, but also makes a contribution to the present and to contemporary disability policies. 
Education: Still Searching for Utopia? (The UNESCO Courier no. 1, January-March 2018) Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: UNESCO At a time of heightened global tension, when human rights, freedom of speech, peace and the future of the planet itself may seem challenged as never before, the transformational power of education is of critical importance.In Learning: The Treasure Within, the landmark Report to UNESCO by the International Commission on Education for the Twenty-first Century in 1996, Jacques Delors, then Chairman of the Commission (1992 to 1996), spoke of education as “the necessary Utopia” and “an indispensable asset in its attempt to attain the ideals of peace, freedom and social justice.”Education was held up as neither miracle nor magic, but rather the best means to foster a climate where humanity would be improved −. and where the rich potential for learning, inherent in every individual, would be tapped. Our humanity is confronted with a very strange paradox: the world’s population has never been better educated, and yet, according to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics, 263 million children and young people are out of school, 617 million children and adolescents worldwide do not meet the minimum threshold for literacy and mathematics, at least 750 million adults are illiterate, and girls remain more likely than boys to never set foot in a classroom. Yet education is still called upon to address inequalities, poverty, terrorism and conflict. It is seen as one of the keys to global citizenship and sustainable development, two of UNESCO’s fields of action. The Organization is also mandated to lead the Education 2030 global agenda with a special focus on ensuring that no one is left behind. Under the title, “Education: Still searching for Utopia?”, the UNESCO Courier evaluates the state of global education and explores how it responds to some of the main challenges we face. 
La Enseñanza del Holocausto en América Latina: los desafíos para los educadores y legisladores Year of publication: 2017 Author: María Celeste Adamoli | Emmanuel Kahan, Pablo Luzuriaga | Ministerio de Educación Corporate author: UNESCO Santiago Este libro proporciona un panorama de oportunidades que pueden surgir de educar sobre el Holocausto en diversos contextos culturales y situaciones educativas, con un foco especial en los países latinoamericanos. Podemos en realidad estar lejos de los lugares donde el genocidio contra el pueblo judío fue perpetrado, pero también América Latina está todavía haciéndose cargo de su propio pasado de violencia y crímenes contra la humanidad. Con esta publicación, los educadores latinoamericanos van a tener al alcance de la mano un recuento actualizado de los temas más destacados que se discuten sobre pedagogía y construcción de políticas. También podrán explorar cómo, todavía hoy en Europa, la educación sobre el Holocausto da forma a una cultura de la memoria. Por otra parte, pueden ver cómo en otros lugares la memoria del Holocausto puede ser un punto de partida para relacionarse con otros pasados difíciles. La UNESCO está convencida de que la prevención del genocidio comienza en la escuela. En un mundo en donde la violencia masiva es posible, esta publicación mostrará lo importante de enseñar a los jóvenes sobre el Holocausto y sobre otros genocidios en la historia. Es una condición para prevenir que crímenes similares sucedan en el futuro. 
IX and X Days of Educational Cooperation with Iberoamerica on Special Education and Educational Inclusion Year of publication: 2015 Corporate author: UNESCO Santiago This publication includes the main presentations made by experts in educational inclusion presented at the IX and X Conference on Educational Cooperation with Ibero-America on special education and educational inclusion, held in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia (2012) and Santa Cruz, Bolivia ( 2013), respectively. The workshops have been organized by the Ministry of Education of Spain with the support of the Regional Office of Education for Latin America and the Caribbean (OREALC / UNESCO Santiago). We hope that this publication will contribute to the dissemination of the reflections that RIINEE has developed on critical issues in the field of the educational inclusion of people with disabilities and / or special educational needs, and in this way, constitute a contribution to advance in the guarantee of the rights indicated in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, approved in 2006 by the Member States of the United Nations Organization. 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.
