Lessons from a Transformative Pedagogy Project for Peace, Resilience, and the Prevention of Violent Extremism: Part I; Country-Level Implementation Year of publication: 2024 Author: Eyerusalem Azmeraw | Quentin Wodon | Eleonora Mura | Kasumi Moritani Corporate author: UNESCO International Institute for Capacity-Building in Africa (IICBA) From 2017 to 2022, UNESCO’s International Institute for Capacity Building in Africa (IICBA) led a series of projects for peacebuilding and the prevention of violent extremism through education with support from the Government of Japan. This two-part paper draws lessons from the projects. The first part of the paper briefly explains the transformative pedagogy approach that guided project implementation and provides examples of changes that were implemented at the country level under the projects. The analysis is qualitative, with the aim being to outline, through country examples, what can be achieved through such projects. Lessons on factors contributing to impact are also outlined. 
Backtalk: The Participatory Film and Its Residency in the Space of Cultural Violence and Creative Education towards a Conceptual Understanding of Peace Year of publication: 2017 Author: Ruchika Gurung Corporate author: Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development (MGIEP) Cultural violence is defined as the beliefs, attitudes and values that justify structural and direct violence (Galtung 1990). It dulls us into seeing exploitation and repression as normal or in not actively witnessing it, and the media plays a vital role in its dissemination. Media and in particular film studies occupies a space through which notions of culture, ideology, peace and violence are negotiated.While the observational approach to film is well established in education, participatory filmmaking as an educational tool is what this paper addresses, with reference to concepts of cultural violence and peace education.This paper uses Brantmeier’s (2011) five stage model, that encourages social and cultural change towards a future that is nonviolent, sustainable and renewable, and Bery’s (2003) conceptualisation of empowerment to propose that participatory film functions as a transformative creative process and challenges notions of identity and culture while helping learners describe the world around them (Zembylas & Bekerman 2013).Through analysing existing cases in the field of participatory video (Schwab-Cartas & Mitchell 2014), the author argue that participatory film functions as a tool for creative education practices that promotes a more hands-on approach to raising awareness about cultural violence and engaging with identity formation, and as a creative tool for knowledge creation and dissemination. 
Tolerance (Non violence) in the Curricular of Algerian Primary Schools (vol.2, no.1; Journal of Cognitive Fields for Social and Human Sciences) Year of publication: 2021 Author: Morad Fatima Zahra | Fantazi Karima Corporate author: Algeria. Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research This study aims to identify tolerance values within primary school curricula in two ways: explicitly and implicitly, focusing specifically on Islamic books due to their significant role in instilling values, particularly respect. The study utilizes the descriptive method and content analysis to analyze primary school books spanning five years. Statistical analysis is conducted using duplicates and percentages. The findings indicate that these books predominantly convey tolerance values implicitly rather than explicitly, which is believed to be more readily accepted by children of this age group. It is concluded that fostering tolerance values should be a shared responsibility of both the community and the school, not solely the latter. 
How to Prevent Hate Speech? Year of publication: 2022 Author: Adrián Vives Corporate author: Assembly of Cooperation for Peace The guide “How to prevent hate speech?” is aimed at teaching staff and aims to serve as a support document for working to eradicate hate speech in and through the classroom. In this guide we aim to offer some keys to working against hate speech in and through the educational field, understanding that prevention is essential to ending it. To do so, it is necessary to address it directly, as we do in the first block; but also through intercultural education that eliminates stereotypes and prejudices, as we explain in the second block; and through practical activities that we present in the last block.

Participatory Diagnosis of Youth Perceptions and Attitudes Towards Hate Speech and Denialism of Gender Violence and Rights of Migrants From the Approaches of Global Citizenship Education Year of publication: 2024 Author: Bárbara Biglia | Aloe Cubero Corporate author: InteRed | Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo (AECID) This diagnosis seeks to respond to the need to explore the perceptions and attitudes of youth regarding hate speech, specifically those that deny gender violence and the rights of migrants. We wanted to carry out this process recognizing the agency of young people and therefore we seek to generate collective and mobilizing reflections that increase their commitment as agents of change in our society. To this end, we place ourselves within the framework of Feminist Activist Research (IAF) using photovoice as a research strategy. 
Podcast: Right to Education Against Hate Speech (SAME 2024) Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: Global Campaign for Education (GCE) The Global Action Week for Education (GAE) 2024 has been the perfect setting for children and adolescents to contribute their voice and perspective to the issue of hate speech. Through awareness-raising and reflection workshops, children and adolescents have shared complex personal situations and cases of hate that they have witnessed, reproduced or experienced first-hand. Guided by their reflections, the participants designed a two-chapter podcast, where they addressed the issues that concern them most. This process not only allowed them to deepen their understanding of the normalization of hate speech and structural violence, but also to prepare for the production of the podcast, where they were able to express their thoughts and proposals in a creative and accessible way for a wider audience. 
Social Education in the Face of Hate Speech: Intercultural Competences in University Education (Journal of Supranational Policies of Education; Vol. 1, No. 19) Year of publication: 2024 Author: Teresa Rebolledo Gámez | Rocío Rodríguez-Casado Corporate author: Autonomous University of Madrid The spread of hate speech against immigrants, people of foreign origin or ethnic minorities is one of the most serious threats to peaceful coexistence in today's society. This is especially true in media contexts and social networks, where the boundaries between the right to freedom of expression and hate speech or hate crimes are often blurred. Therefore, we need educational professionals with intercultural competences whohave strategies to combat these discourses. In this article, we present an experience of a pedagogical innovation that works on these competences in the Degree in Social Education, which received very positive evaluations in terms of improving conceptual and attitudinal learning, as well as the acquisition of socio-educational strategies to act against the emergence of hate speech. On the basis of this experience, we reflect on different aspects that should be present in intercultural university training in the field of hate speech and hate crimes, concluding that there is still an urgent need for universities to promote the training of socio-educational professionals based on a human rights, equality, justice, culture of peace and non-violence approach. 
Working On Emotions, Advancing Equality: Learning Situations Year of publication: 2024 Author: Marta Álvarez | María Burgos | Ricardo Hurtado | Francisca Marañón | Laura Seoane Corporate author: InteRed This publication proposes several learning situations to be carried out in the classroom and in other socio-educational spaces with the aim of understanding and managing the emotions that underlie attitudes and behaviours that generate violence, discrimination and inequality. This proposal continues the work that we at InteRed have been doing to generate in people the capacities to position themselves in the current system of inequalities from a social justice perspective, without losing confidence that another model of development that is more fair, equitable and sustainable is possible. In this process of capacity building, we believe it is essential to address the management of emotions. 
I Don’t Want… War!

Today, more than ever, it is urgent to address the effects of wars that prevent millions of girls from living a future free of violence, such as child and forced marriage or sexual violence.
