Digital Resource Guide: Media Education Against Hate Speech Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: Esplai Foundation We could define hate speech as the set of communicative actions aimed at defending, promoting or instigating hatred, humiliation or contempt of a person or group of people. Although hate speech is not something exclusive to the Internet, but is part of the reality beyond the networks, it is true that the potential of the networks facilitates the movement of communication flows, because it facilitates both the production and the creation of messages. Hate speech has also benefited from this and, in addition, has found in the networks other characteristics such as anonymity, brevity, free messaging services or legitimacy granted by the number of followers. With this guide we want to provide digital tools for the creation of this counter-discourse that allows for the creation of messages that offer a positive alternative to extremist propaganda. 
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. 
Discussing Terrorism: a pupil-inspired guide to UK counter-terrorism policy implementation in religious education classroom in England Year of publication: 2016 Author: Angela Quartermaine Corporate author: Christian Education | Taylor & Francis Religious education (RE) in England is affected by the challenging of terrorist ideologies and improving community cohesion, but many RE teachers feel ill-equipped in dealing with the issues that might arise from terrorism discussions. Therefore, I suggest that clarification could help alleviate some of the teacher’s concerns and help provide routes by which critical RE teaching and learning can take place. 
Before the Fire is Extinguished: The Commemoration Work at Nazi Memorial Sites as a Project of Political Learning Year of publication: 2003 Author: Peter Gstettner The original title: Bevor die Glut verlöscht: Die Erinnerungsarbeit an NS-Tatorten als ein Politisches Lernprojekt(In Jahrbuch für Pädagogik 2003)The author reflects upon his experience of reconstructing Nazi history in Germany. All efforts to spread light upon the dark sides of this history end up in the attempt to break the collective silence and to retune the song from “the good old times.” Memorial sites pedagogy and educational policies must decide the relevance of the past for the present, expose local Nazi history, and set the gaze, across the wall of silence, on the future. Tangible memory work and personal experiences of pain are steps towards makingxsubmerged memories, obliterated traces and forgotten places useful again for an education for democracy and tolerance.

“Why Do We Have to We Apologize for It All the Time, We Can’t Help it”: History Education between Memory-Pedagogy Challenges and Fantasies about Effectiveness Year of publication: 2006 Author: Matthias Proske The original title: “Wieso Müssen Wir Uns Jedes Mal Wieder dafür Entschuldigen, Wir Können Doch Gar Nichts Mehr Dafür”: Geschichtsunterricht zwischen Erinnerungspädagogischen Herausforderungen und Wirksamkeitsphantasien(Widerstand sachunterricht, 7, pp. 1–10)Against the background of public expectations on the schools’ history education, the article connects a theoretical analysis of the changes in the German historical culture and their consequences for history education about the Holocaust and Nazism with a discussion about how students and teachers take on these themes in educational practice.
