Manuel des villes arabes pour l’inclusion urbaine: Promouvoir l’inclusion urbaine par la participation publique, l’accès à l’information, le sport, et l’éducation à la citoyenneté et aux droits de l’homme Year of publication: 2020 Author: Kareem Ibrahim | Deena Khalil | Marwa Barakat | Salwa Salman Corporate author: Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO) | European Training and Research Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (Austria) | UNESCO Cairo Les villes arabes connaissent un développement urbain accéléré qui les a amenées à réunir plus de la moitié de la population régionale. Une combinaison de nombreux facteurs a transformé la majorité des villes arabes en lieux de brassage où abondent les identités, les cultures et les ethnies variées. Ces transformations peuvent contribuer à la réalisation de la prospérité sociale, à condition que les responsables des villes adoptent un programme législatif centré sur les droits de l’homme, et qu’ils mettent en œuvre des politiques et des dispositions susceptibles de réaliser l’inclusion de manière à assurer l’égalité des chances à tous leurs habitants. Dans ce contexte, le Manuel des villes arabes pour l’inclusion urbaine propose un ensemble d’outils et de conseils pratiques susceptibles de servir de guide aux édiles des villes arabes et aux responsables des gouvernements locaux dans leur quête pour la mise en place de villes inclusives et durables. Le Manuel prend pour base les acquis et expériences de la Coalition des villes arabes contre le racisme, la discrimination, la xénophobie et l’intolérance dans la planification, la réalisation et l’évaluation de programmes et de projets pour favoriser l’inclusion sociale et pour s’opposer à l’exclusion sous toutes ses formes. Le Manuel est centré sur quatre questions désignées par les villes membres parmi leurs priorités : La Participation publique, l’Accès à l’information, le Sport pour l’inclusion des jeunes, l’Éducation à la citoyenneté et aux droits de l’homme.

Human Rights Storytelling: Manual for the Educators Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: Huristo Project Consortium Huristo project developed a methodology about awareness and advocacy about the European Human Rights Charter as a part of global citizenship education with low skilled adult learners (refugees and migrants living in the city and natives living in rural places). This methodology is based on digital storytelling: participants work on personal narratives illustrating different topics of the charter.The main result for the adult learners are increased digital skills, reading and writing skills, awareness about the Human Rights Charter and European citizenship. The work on the Charter and the personal narratives also improve participants’ analytic media literacy, interpersonal and intercultural skills, but also core skills for employability, such as teamwork, problem solving, learning to learn and communication. Additionally, the adult trainers who are involved increase their teaching skills using digital media and the methodology of digital storytelling in particular.In the HURISTO project trainers start with the stories of the participants, and afterwards the stories are linked to articles of the Charter. To do so, the methodology is using two concepts:1) PHOTOLANGUAGE SET: a set of 30 flashcards for students with photos that illustrate the European Charter of Human Rights. They have been created as a tool to start up conversations about human rights in Europe and the situations in which these rights may be at risk. Based on these discussions and the sharing of stories, each participant chooses one photo out of the flashcards, as a starting point for a digital story. The HURISTO Photolanguage set for educators contains guidelines for educators who want to use it in a human rights digital storytelling workshop with adult learners.2) STORY CIRCLES: in different rounds participants share their stories with the group and develop them together into short stories for their film. 
The Role of Media Literacy in the Promotion Of Common Values and Social Inclusion: Position Paper Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: All Digital While we live in an increasingly digital society, a significant number of European citizens continue to lack basic digital skills. Media practices have changed, and now we are not only receiving information passively. Anyone can be active in content creation and (re-)produce (dis)information. For example, mobile technology and ubiquitous Internet access allow citizens to produce real time information, including content for mass media (newspapers, TV channels).The production of information and news thus no longer remains in the capacity of journalists, but something within everyone’s capacity. Without the necessary skills, however, the creation of information and news is not always done in a responsible or professional manner. This is only one example of many, highlighting why media literacy is more important than ever.This position paper talks about:the role for media literacy in promoting common values and social inclusion in several ways: resilience, content creation, dissemination, social inclusionthe role of non-formal education in teaching media literacy andgives examples of media literacy programmes and projects across Europeprovides policy recommendations in terms of funding, recognition and promotion. 
Catch-up Programmes: 10 Principles for Helping Learners Catch Up and Return to Learning Year of publication: 2021 Author: Kayla Boisvert Corporate author: Accelerated Education Working Group (AEWG) Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in which approximately 1.5 billion children and youth (nearly 85% of the world’s learners) were affected by school closures,1 the AEWG anticipates that catch-up programmes will be deployed extensively to meet the needs of learners who missed out on several months to approximately one year of education due to the disruption.
