Gender-Based Hate Crime Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Gender-based hate crimes are a consequence of gender inequalities and disproportionately affect women, as well as anyone perceived as not complying with prevailing gender norms. Gender-based hate crimes often seek to intimidate and suppress ways of life or expressions of identity that are perceived as not complying with traditional gender norms. They have a significant, long-lasting impact on the victims, and undermine security and social cohesion by perpetuating gender inequalities. The existence of such crimes also underscores wider trends of intolerance towards other groups. Everyone has a role to play in countering this and all forms of intolerance. 
Education in a Post-COVID World: Additional Considerations (In-Progress Reflection; No.43, 2021) Year of publication: 2021 Author: Renato Opertti Corporate author: UNESCO International Bureau of Education (IBE) This discussion document analyses some implications of the ideas proposed in the seminal UNESCO document “Education in a post-COVID world: Nine ideas for public action” (2020). Based on the work of the International Commission on the Futures of Education, the documents’ contributors included prominent figures with a wide range of professional and policy experience who hail from various regions of the world. The set of nine interconnected ideas illuminates the way forward toward the transformation of education and education systems and a reimagined future seen through a progressive lens. On one hand, it reaffirms basic principles, understandings, and commitments with regard to education as a global common good and universal human right; it also articulates the need to both reinvent multilateralism for a new global order and, crucially, to mobilize ideas and funding for transforming education. On the other hand, the document advocates for a comprehensive educational agenda, including the following critical issues: (i) visualizing educators as decision-makers in educational systems; (ii) appreciating students as active actors with rights; (iii) recognizing the value and specificity of the school space; (iv) addressing the dilemmas around technology’s ability to serve as an equalizer of opportunities; and (v) revisiting educational content for the sustainability of younger generations.

D’une part, il réaffirme les principes de base, la compréhension et les engagements concernant l’éducation en tant que bien commun mondial et droit de l’homme universel ; il exprime également la nécessité de réinventer le multilatéralisme pour un nouvel ordre mondial et, surtout, de mobiliser des idées et des fonds pour transformer l’éducation. D’autre part, le document plaide en faveur d’un programme éducatif global, incluant les questions critiques suivantes: (i) visualiser les éducateurs comme des décideurs dans les systèmes éducatifs ; (ii) considérer les étudiants comme des acteurs actifs ayant des droits ; (iii) reconnaître la valeur et la spécificité de l’espace scolaire ; (iv) aborder les dilemmes autour de la capacité de la technologie à combler les inégalités ; et (v) revoir les contenus d’enseignement pour la durabilité des jeunes générations.

他异与共同价值: 全球化时代国际理解教育的范式转型与价值转向 (现代教育论丛; No.2, 2023) Year of publication: 2023 Author: 叶雅萱 当前，全球化的日益深入使文化交往成为必然之事，而文化差异又难以避免地客观存在着。在这一背景下，充满异质性的多元文化如何共存与发展则成为全球化新时期各文化主体共同面对的重要课题。国际理解教育致力于通过促进文化理解使各文化共存成为可能。关于文化理解，有“不同”与“陌异”两种常见的认识范式，二者分别以内在性和外在性的眼光看待文化间关系。基于此二者的国际理解教育则分别走向普世主义与相对主义两种截然不同的价值立场，皆存在一定的教育隐忧。而“他异”的文化理解范式则可能成为超越两者、扭转国际理解教育困境的出口。“他异”的认识范式主张以兼具外在性与伦理性的眼光看待文化间关系，建立起互为他者的伦理共在关系。基于此，国际理解教育转向具有关系性、生成性的共同价值立场，重视文化主体间在对话与交往中建构让多元文化得以共存与发展的价值共识。

Bringing Living Heritage to the Classroom in Asia-Pacific: A Resource Kit Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: UNESCO Bangkok | APCEIU | International Information and Networking Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia-Pacific Region (ICHCAP) Integrating living heritage in school teaching and learning can enhance education quality, enliven the experiences of students and teachers, and contribute to keeping this heritage alive for current and future generations. In addition, as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has also demonstrated, living heritage can play an important role in ensuring the well-being and resilience of communities. UNESCO encourages countries to safeguard living heritage through formal and non-formal education. From the end of 2019 to early 2022, UNESCO has been working with partners to implement a pilot project “Teaching and Learning with Living Heritage in Schools” in six countries in Asia and the Pacific - including Cambodia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Nepal, Republic of Korea and Thailand. Over 1900 students from 21 schools had the opportunity to participate in these innovative classes. Throughout the process, 86 teachers, with more than two thirds being women, have developed and tested 101 lesson plans and activities. This Resource Kit provides step-by-step guidance and key resources on why and how to integrate living heritage in lessons and extracurricular activities in schools. Whoever you are – policy-maker, school director, teacher, student, parent, heritage practitioner – you have a vital role to play in this process. 
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. 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.
