Гражданское образование в зоне региональных конфликтов Year of publication: 2020 Author: Nazarii Boiarskyi | Aleksey Telichkin | Nikolay Nazarov | Yuriy Petrushenko | Alexandru Postica | Sasha Delemenchuk | Valery Balaian | Oleksandr Voitenko | Rauf Rajabov Corporate author: Human Rights Vector Данная публикация — результат деятельности рабочей группы EENCE «Гражданское образование в зоне региональных конфликтов» в 2020 году. Стоит участь, что эксперты, вовлеченные в подготовку данного издания, работали над содержанием конкретных подразделов, где они указаны как авторы материала. Поэтому они могут не разделять мнения, высказанные авторами других подразделов.Эта публикация является едва ли не первой попыткой общественности посмотреть на ситуацию с образованием (и гражданским образованием в частности) в зонах региональных конфликтов, сравнить опыт различных организаций и институций в этой сфере, предоставить практические рекомендации. Поэтому не стоит рассматривать его как исчерпывающий материал. Скорее это приглашение к диалогу и раздумьям о том, как мирным путем через гражданское образование способствовать решению конфликтов. 
Disinformation and Peacebuilding in Sub-saharan Africa: Security Implications of AI-Altered Information Environments; Research Report Year of publication: 2024 Author: Eduardo Albrecht | Eleonore Fournier-Tombs | Rebecca Brubaker Corporate author: United Nations University | Interpeace This report aims to further explore the way in which AI technologies as they currently stand impact peace and conflict, and what methods might be used to mitigate their adverse effects - through the development of better tools and the inclusion of peace and conflict considerations in AI governance frameworks. The report proposes the following recommendations: 1. More funding and support should be provided to civil society organization efforts to expand media literacy and fact-checking initiatives using AI tools to enhance capabilities. 2. Governments need to work with civil society to develop and implement comprehensive, transparent legal frameworks combating disinformation. These legislative measures need to support digital and media literacy campaigns and fact-checking organizations. 3. Social media companies need to expand investment and research into understanding local information environments, so they can better identify and respond to instances of disinformation in all contexts in which they operate and enhance transparency. 4. Peacebuilding organizations need to carefully consider local media ecosystems and information environments when conducting conflict analyses, and factor these dynamics into their projects' frameworks.

Moral Disengagement and Building Resilience to Violent Extremism: An Education Intervention Year of publication: 2014 Author: Anne Aly | Elisabeth Taylor | Saul Karnovsky Corporate author: Taylor & Francis This article reports on the development of an education intervention, the Beyond Bali Education Resource funded by the Australian Governments’ Building Community Resilience Grants of the Federal Attorney General's Department, that applies a conceptual framework grounded in moral disengagement theory. The theory of moral disengagement has been applied to the study of radicalization to violent extremism to explain how individuals can cognitively reconstruct the moral value of violence and carry out inhumane acts. Moral Disengagement and Building Resilience to Violent Extremism: An Education Intervention Year of publication: 2014 Author: Anne Aly | Elisabeth Taylor | Saul Karnovsky Corporate author: Taylor & Francis Dans cet article, il est question du développement d'une approche éducative, the « Beyond Bali Education Resource » financée par « l’Australian Governments’ Building Community Resilience Grants of the Federal Attorney General's Department ». Cette approche utilise un cadre conceptuel fondé sur la théorie du désengagement moral. La théorie du désengagement moral a été appliquée à l'étude de la radicalisation à l'extrémisme violent en vue d’expliquer comment les individus peuvent, du point de vue cognitif, reconsidérer la violence comme une valeur morale et commettre des actes inhumains. 
Global Security, Religion and Education Development: a Crisis for the Field of Comparative Education? Year of publication: 2011 Author: Yusuf Sayed | Lynn Davies | Mike Hardy | Abbas Madandar Arani | Lida Kakia | Masooda Bano Corporate author: Taylor & Francis Building common ground on shared values should be a high priority for a diverse and devout society in an era of religious conflict. Otherwise we might fall into the equally false and far more dangerous illusion that we agree on nothing at all – and perhaps we tend to assume that education helps to do this, which is not necessarily the case. There is a greater concern that education is not just failing to step up effectively to the task of contesting undifferentiated and negative views of religions, but that it might not always be a force for good at all. It may in some cases help reinforce difference and create the conditions for conflict.The relationship, therefore, between religious difference, security and the assumed supportive role of education is far from a simple one. Global security, religion and education development: a crisis for the field of comparative education? Year of publication: 2011 Author: Yusuf Sayed | Lynn Davies | Mike Hardy | Abbas Madandar Arani | Lida Kakia | Masooda Bano Corporate author: Taylor & Francis Partager des valeurs communes devrait être une priorité absolue dans une société diversifiée et dévote en cette période de conflits religieux. Autrement, on pourrait tomber dans l’illusion, fausse et dangereuse, que nous sommes d’accord en rien - et on pense, probablement que l'éducation contribue à cet état de choses, alors que ce n’est pas forcément le cas. On est de plus en plus préoccupé par la question suivante : celle de considérer que non seulement l'éducation échoue quand il s’agit de contester d’une manière solide et efficace les points de vues non nuancés et négatifs en matière de religions, mais aussi que l’éducation n’est finalement pas une bonne chose. Dans certains cas, elle peut contribuer à renforcer la différence et créer les conditions d'un conflit. La relation, donc, entre la différence religieuse, la sécurité et le rôle présumé de soutien de l'éducation est loin d'être simple.
