Learning to live together: an intercultural and interfaith programme for ethics education Year of publication: 2008 Corporate author: Interfaith Council on Ethics Education for Children | Arigatou Foundation (Switzerland) Learning to Live Together has been developed for use in different religious and secular contexts as a resource for everyone concerned with promoting ethics and values. The objective has been to develop a resource that is relevant on a global level and yet flexible enough to be interpreted within different cultural and social contexts. The resource has been tested in many different regions and cultural contexts to assure that it is relevant in regional and local contexts (see ‘We did it like this’, p.187).Test workshops have been held in 10 different countries, where the GNRC was able to bring together various religious and secular organisations working with children. During the test workshops, this resource manual was used to the benefit of more than 300 children and youth, representing African Traditional Religions, Bahá’í Faith, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, members of Brahma Kumaris and a number of people of secular thinking. Test workshops as well as input and comments from experts in the area of education, ethics, spirituality, intercultural and interfaith learning and child rights have contributed important experiences and opportunities for learning for the development of this resource. Learning to Live Together is already having an impact. In a GNRC programme in Israel, the resource material was used during a six-day journey made by a group of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim youth to the historical sites of Israel and Palestine, all of which have symbolic relevance to the conflict in their region. At each stop, youth participants discussed their values and their differing perceptions of their shared history.Learning to Live Together is an adaptable resource that can be used with children from many different cultural, religious and social contexts to nurture common values and a mutual respect for different backgrounds and traditions. The resource provides space for enhancing children’s innate potential for spirituality and hope for a better world, as a contribution to changing the situation for children worldwide. The Users Guide provides all necessary information for its use. UNESCO and UNICEF have been closely involved in developing Learning to Live Together and have endorsed the material as an important contribution to a quality education, which takes a multicultural and multi-religious society into consideration. UNESCO’s Guidelines for Intercultural Education underpin the philosophy and the approach of the resource: “Religious education can be described as learning about one’s own religion or spiritual practices, or learning about other religions or beliefs. Interfaith education, in contrast, aims to actively shape the relations between people from different religions”.

Education as healing: addressing the trauma of displacement through social and emotional learning Year of publication: 2019 The conditions under which migrants and refugees have to leave their homes and homelands can be traumatic in the extreme. Whether they have crossed the Mediterranean in an overcrowded and unsafe boat, been barricaded in a Syrian basement for protection from shelling, or been chased away from a burning village in Myanmar, the events of their departures and their journeys can leave scars on those affected – and none more than on children who have witnessed and experienced death, loss, violence, separation from family and prolonged insecurity. Even those fortunate enough to find a sanctuary often face further hardship or discrimination in their host communities that can exacerbate their vulnerability. 
Contributions of Early Childhood Development Programming to Sustainable Peace and Development Year of publication: 2018 Author: Chelsea K. Donaldson | Friedrich W. Affolter | Liliana Angelica Ponguta | Rima Salah | Pia R. Britto | James Leckman | Paul Connolly | Siobhan Fitzpatrick | Pauline Walmsley By intervening early and engaging with children’s families, ECD services offer a unique opportunity to make a cost-effective and sustainable impact on interrupting cycles of poverty and violence. Given that efforts towards sustainable peace must encompass all sectors and address all societal levels, there is a crucial need for implementing “multi-level ECD services” that center on the whole child and engage his or her surrounding ecological context. These comprehensive ECD services can not only improve child development outcomes, but also strengthen competencies in caregivers, address stressors and conflict drivers in the community and build institutional capacities to reduce structural violence. The purpose of this background paper is to merge insights from both micro and macro-level perspectives to demonstrate how ECD services can be leveraged to sustainable peace and development. While peacebuilding experts have traditionally focused on macro-level strategies such as government reform or economic rehabilitation interventions, ECD practitioners have focused primarily on micro-level interventions of individual children and families without much exploration of how ECD services can be leveraged to mitigate risks of conflict and transform relationships across communities and regions.

D’une pensée coloniale à une pensée du colonial ?: La question de la restitution des œuvres africaines issues de la colonisation Year of publication: 2019 Author: Aurélie Duvivier En 2013, le Musée de Tervuren fermait ses portes pour la première grande rénovation de son histoire. Ce samedi 8 décembre 2018, flambant neuf, il a pu à nouveau accueillir des visiteurs. Comme nous le fait remarquer le magazine Culture Remains, au fil des temps, le musée a changé de dénominations : appelé successivement Musée du Congo, Musée du Congo belge puis Musée Royal de l’Afrique centrale, son nom a été dorénavant anglicisé en Africa Museum, l’ancrant ainsi symboliquement dans son époque. Mais ce n’est pas tout : considéré comme « trop colonialiste » par certains, la rénovation a permis une profonde modification de la scénographie plus en adéquation avec la pensée de son siècle.
