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.

Ocean Literacy for All: A Toolkit (IOC Manuals and Guides, 80) Year of publication: 2017 Author: Francesca Santoro | Selvaggia Santin | Gail Scowcroft | Géraldine Fauville | Peter Tuddenham Corporate author: UNESCO Venice Ocean literacy programs and projects, until now, have been mainly focusing on developing resources, lesson plans and activities targeting Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education. Currently, and in particular after the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14, we have assisted to a shift in the focus towards the inclusion of approaches closer to those developed under the UNESCO framework of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD).ESD aims to improve access to quality education on sustainable development at all levels and in all social contexts, to transform society by reorienting education and help people develop knowledge, skills, values and behaviors needed for sustainable development. Individuals are encouraged to be responsible actors who resolve challenges, respect cultural diversity and contribute to creating a more sustainable world. This publication is made of two parts. The first part presents the history of ocean literacy, and describes its framework made of 7 essential principles, and connects them to international ocean science programs that contributes to enhancing ocean knowledge and observations. Moreover, marine scientists and educators were interviewed to share their professional experiences on ocean literacy as well as their views on its future. The last chapter of part 1 describes the existing challenges to marine education, as well as the path for the development of successful ocean literacy activities in the context of the 2030 Agenda. One of the most important factors identified is related to the creation of multi-sector partnerships among the education, government, and private sector that have jointly built ocean literacy programs for all formal educational levels from the primary school to the university level as well as for non-formal learners. Worldwide examples of such programs are presented. The second part, after introducing the methodological approach based on the multi-perspective framework for ESD developed by UNESCO, presents 14 activities that could provide tested examples and support for the implementation of marine education initiatives. The aim is not to provide a one size-fits-all ready to use collection, but rather to offer support and examples of what could be then adapted for different geographical and cultural contexts. The resources are designed to be relevant for all learners of all ages worldwide and to find their application in many learning settings, while in their concrete implementation they will, naturally, have to be adapted to the national or local context. Cultura oceánica para todos: kit pedagógico (COI Manuales y guías, 80) Year of publication: 2017 Author: Francesca Santoro | Selvaggia Santin | Gail Scowcroft | Géraldine Fauville | Peter Tuddenham Corporate author: UNESCO Venice Más que un concepto, la cultura oceánica es una herramienta fundamental para mejorar el conocimiento sobre el océano y estimular la participación activa de los ciudadanos y de las partes interesadas en la implementación de acciones sostenibles. Es también una manera de promover prácticas de producción sostenible, formular sólidas políticas públicas marinas, promover una ciudadanía más responsable, y animar a los jóvenes a iniciar una carrera en la economía azul o en las ciencias oceánicas. Esta publicación pretende describir y revisar los actuales enfoques, iniciativas, programas y proyectos sobre cultura oceánica. La primera parte ilustra los principios esenciales de la cultura oceánica y evidencia el conocimiento científico subyacente a través de estudios de casos, datos históricos e información cultural. Asimismo, muestra los esfuerzos actuales que realiza la cultura oceánica desde una perspectiva multidisciplinaria mediante entrevistas a expertos, educadores y científicos que trabajan y estudian en todo el mundo. La segunda parte presenta catorce actividades que proporcionan herramientas y buenas prácticas basadas en las competencias clave necesarias para que alumnos de todas las edades conozcan y se comprometan activamente con los temas sobre el desarrollo sostenible. Estas actividades pueden ser adaptadas a las necesidades y a los recursos disponibles. Las referencias adicionales que se proporcionan sirven para ampliar la información de los temas propuestos. Con este manual, la UNESCO y su Comisión Oceanográfica Intergubernamental (COI) pretenden que los países y las partes interesadas participen en el desarrollo de actividades interdisciplinarias y culturalmente diversas sobre cultura oceánica a escala mundial.
