Les politiques des grandes plateformes sur le discours de haine pendant la COVID-19 Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: UNESCO Montevideo Ce document fait état d’une augmentation des messages considérés comme des discours de haine sur Facebook, Twitter et YouTube, depuis l’avènement de la pandémie de COVID-19. Bien qu’inégale, cette augmentation peut être établie à partir des rapports de transparence des différentes plateformes et de la croissance enregistrée dans la modération de ces contenus à partir de mars 2020. Étant donné qu’au cours de la même période, et en conséquence des mesures d’isolement prises dans la plupart des pays du monde, les plateformes ont décidé d’accroître l’utilisation d’outils d’intelligence artificielle dans leurs processus de modération, il n’est pas possible d’être certain que cette croissance est due à une augmentation de la création et de la publication de messages ou à un changement dans les systèmes de détection qui a affecté les résultats d’une année à l’autre.

Preparing for the Next Pandemic Leveraging Social and Human Sciences for Crisis: Lessons from COVID-19 Year of publication: 2024 Author: Erwan Dianteill | N'Dri Thérèse Assié-Lumumba Corporate author: UNESCO The Social Sciences Response to COVID-19 Understanding the social impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is crucial for crafting effective and inclusive recovery policies. Prior to the pandemic, growing gaps in well-being were already undermining environmental sustainability, the social fabric, and progress worldwide. Fragile and unequal systems proved to be a pre-existing aggravating condition that fuelled the pandemic on a global scale. COVID-19 widened the gap between developed countries—which already had the financial means to respond to the crisis and had easy access to the vaccine—and the rest of humanity, resulting in devastating effects in the Global South, with more than 130 million people crossing the poverty line. Addressed to policymakers and scholars, this publication presents a comprehensive state of knowledge of the social science perspectives on the COVID-19 pandemic, covering a wide range of topics from its impact on mental health, education, climate change, economy, governance, migration, demography, digitalization, and more. The authors analyse the challenges faced by society during the pandemic and present actionable proposals for policymakers and practitioners. This publication is a reminder of the importance of Social Sciences and Humanities in addressing global challenges and provides a roadmap for future research and policy action to build more resilient societies.

Les femmes prennent la parole (Le Courrier de l’UNESCO no. 2, Juillet-septembre 2020) Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: UNESCO Politologues, journalistes, sociologues, chercheuses, écrivaines ou enseignantes dessinent les contours de l’après-pandémie, qu’il s’agisse de l’avenir des musées, des mutations de l’école, des dérives de l’information ou encore des enjeux de la recherche.Ce numéro trace un portrait en creux de notre époque, souligne les lignes de fracture que la crise sanitaire a mises à nu et montre l’ampleur des défis à relever. Il souligne aussi le potentiel de coopération scientifique, culturelle, éducative que cet événement inédit a révélé.

Case Study on Finnish TVET: A Resilient Model of Training During COVID-19 Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: UNESCO | Omnia Education Partnerships This case study examines how technical and vocational education and training (TVET) was organized during the state of emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in Finland. The disruption accentuated the importance of flexibility within the education system to make it resilient. Finnish TVET, created as a hybrid solution combining school-based, work-based and online-based learning environments, remained responsive and functional throughout the difficult time in spring 2020.To urgently improve the resilience of education, this case study emphasizes the necessity to improve system-level flexibilities across all levels and all types of TVET, including alternative modes of delivery and hybrid learning opportunities, as the one size fits all approach increases rigidity and redundancy of education and training. Flexible measures are key to improve resilience, also beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.
