Human Rights and Conflict Resolution: Palestinian Universities as a Case Study (Conceptual Paper) Year of publication: 2023 Author: Rashad Twam Corporate author: Palestinian Jurists Association Palestinian universities have consistently witnessed occasional conflicts, many of which have resulted in disrupting the educational process. While some of these conflicts originated outside the university walls, as an extension of societal violence, others stemmed from within the university itself, posing a threat to civil peace. This conceptual paper addresses this issue by examining the various forms of these conflicts over the past five years (2018-2022) and the stakeholders involved in resolving them. It adopts a differentiated approach between the perspectives and methodologies of human rights advocates and conflict resolution practitioners, with a focus on the case study of Birzeit University. 
Instructional Strategies for Learning Conflict Resolution Skills in School (Mustansiriyah Journal of Humanities; Vol. 1-1, Special Issue) Year of publication: 2023 Author: Haider Kareem Sukar Corporate author: Mustansiriyah University The school is a community tool that achieves its educational goals through all behavioral habits that provide students with sound and integrated growth, as well as preparation and adaptation for the future after obtaining success and involvement in government institutions and the economy. In the civilizational scale, so the school must achieve all means of education and an educational philosophy based on foundations with educational entertainment Adolescent children may seek more freedom, power, and complete liberation later on from the authority of parents and others represented by the school, as it is the broader environment after the family that embraces the person, so we see these children doing actions such as abuse of others, violation of order and law, harshness in dealing with others, or rudeness in their behavior with them They may make mistakes and misbehave on purpose even though they know what is right and are able to act well. Therefore, the increasing manifestations of violence, disagreement and conflict in schools have led to an increase in the interest of educators of all positions in the process of learning and teaching students the concepts of human rights and the attitudes of tolerance in general and the skills of resolving differences and conflicts in constructive and positive ways and means. 
Thinkpiece on education and conflict Year of publication: 2009 Author: Lynn Davies Corporate author: UNESCO This paper looks first at the learning sites generally (violent schools, schools as a weapon of war, curriculum and textbooks). It then focuses on specific groups in conflict – gender, language, refugees, child soldiers. Thirdly it discusses education policy and donor intervention; and finally talks of the role of research. All these overlap hugely. This is not a prescription for how the Global Monitoring Report should be structured, but identification of themes and lessons learned that seem the most significant.

Colloquium Report: Building Resilience to Genocide through Peace Education: Concepts, Methods, Tools and Impact Year of publication: 2017 Author: Jonathan Bower, Mariana Goetz Corporate author: Aegis Trust A three-day Colloquium in Kigali in February brought together academics and practitioners in and around the field of peace education to share concepts, methods and means of measuring impact, contributing to a stronger evidence base for the effectiveness of peace education. Three interesting takeaways from the Colloquium: 1. Building resilience against genocide requires critical thinking about the process of identity-based violence and its reversal.2. The content of peace education programmes matters: interactive role-play type activities have been shown to have a longer lasting impact.3. Unhealed wounds need to be addressed to prevent a repeat of violence; psychosocial support must accompany peace education to reduce anxiety, which can be an obstacle when accessing empathy. A major achievement resulting from the consortium’s advocacy has been that the Government of Rwanda through the Ministry of Education has integrated Peace and Values education into the school curriculum. In a new phase of work Aegis is now supporting the implementation of the revised national curriculum that has integrated peace and values education (2016-19).

Youth Led Guide on Prevention of Violent Extremism through Education Year of publication: 2017 Author: Carolyn Nash | Yulia Nesterova | Kenneth Primrose | Wing Yu Alice Chan | Rios, Paul A. Chan | María José Velásquez Flores | Aniqah Zowmi Corporate author: Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development (MGIEP) In September 2016, the education sector from the UNESCO headquarters and the UNESCO category 1 research Institute, the UNESCO Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development(MGIEP) organised the first International Conference on Prevention of Violent Extremism through Education: Taking Action, in New Delhi, India. The usual plethora of reports and guides produced by experts on the subject, roundtables and expert panels were organised.But something different also happened. UNESCO MGIEP brought 50 youth from across the world rigorously selected through six week online discussion on the subject to participate in a first of its kind, “Talking Across Generations on Education (TAGe)” event. This event organised as a plenary session—not a side or lunch event—brought together these youth in a non-hierarchical “flat” dialogue with about 12 senior policymakers on the challenges and opportunities the youth see in preventing violent extremism through education.The conference culminated with the presentation of a “Youth Action Plan” containing three clear tangible action points. One action point was the development of a youth-led guide on Prevention of Violent Extremism through Education. This Guide is the result of that call to action.The Institute circulated a global call to youth who were willing to take up the challenge of producing the Guide. After a rigorous search based on a well-defined set of criteria, two coordinating lead authors were identified. These authors were then tasked to find the remaining authors who they saw fit to contribute to the Guide and this team then reached out to the wider group of youth to solicit their experiences and guidance in producing the Guide. The youth have done their part. They have reached out to more than 2,000 young people from more than 50 countries, collated their ideas and experiences and finally featured more than 150 unique voices into this document. 
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.
