Solidarity as the Future of Education: Perspectives From the Ibero-American Experience of Service-Learning Year of publication: 2024 Author: Elena Massat Corporate author: UNESCO | Latin American Center for Service-Learning (CLAYSS) With this work we have proposed to put into dialogue the recent UNESCO document “Reimagining our futures together. A new social contract for education. Report of the international commission on the futures of education” with the theory and practice of service-learning in Ibero-America. We would like to show how UNESCO's proposal for education for the future can already be verified as a practice in many educational institutions in the region, which develop solidarity service-learning projects even in the most vulnerable contexts. In these experiences, solidarity ceases to be just learning content, to become an educational process, a pedagogy to learn to solve complex problems of reality, and to use the SDGs as a “curriculum” for the education of the future (UNESCO, 2022:54). These practices are deeply innovative, as the experts who comment on them point out, and we hope that they can be inspiring for many other educational institutions. La solidaridad como futuro de la educación: Perspectivas desde la experiencia iberoamericana del aprendizaje-servicio Year of publication: 2024 Author: Elena Massat Corporate author: Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura (UNESCO) | Latin American Center for Service-Learning (CLAYSS) Con esta obra nos hemos propuesto poner en diálogo el reciente documento de la UNESCO “Reimaginar juntos nuestros futuros. Un nuevo contrato social para la educación. Informe de la comisión internacional sobre los futuros de la educación.” con la teoría y práctica del aprendizaje-servicio en Iberoamérica. Quisiéramos evidenciar de qué manera la propuesta de educación para el futuro de UNESCO se puede ya verificar como práctica en muchas instituciones educativas de la región, que desarrollan proyectos de aprendizaje-servicio solidario aún en los contextos de mayor vulnerabilidad. En estas experiencias, la solidaridad deja de ser sólo contenido de aprendizaje, para transformarse en proceso educativo, en pedagogía para aprender a solucionar problemas complejos de la realidad, y usar a los ODS como “currículo” de la educación del futuro (UNESCO, 2022:54). Estas prácticas son profundamente innovadoras, como lo señalan los expertos que las comentan, y esperamos que puedan ser inspiradoras para muchas otras instituciones educativas. 
Countering Holocaust Denial and Distortion through Education: A Guide for Teachers Year of publication: 2025 Corporate author: UNESCO Antisemitic hate speech, disinformation, and conspiracy theories thrive during crises, making it vital for teachers to address these issues in school curricula. Social media has significantly amplified the spread of such harmful content, including Holocaust denial and distortion. These falsehoods, rooted in antisemitic prejudice and conspiratorial thinking, threaten our shared historical memory and promote hatred. To effectively combat these issues, it is essential to have a comprehensive understanding of the Holocaust —how and why the genocide of the Jewish people occurred. This knowledge helps us recognize the causes and risk factors, contributing to the prevention of future atrocity crimes and the fight against antisemitism. In the digital age, it is also imperative to be able to decipher the manipulation of history, and the misrepresentation of the past.The guide provides teachers with the necessary tools and guidance to prevent the spread of Holocaust denial and distortion. It equips teachers with knowledge, teaching principles, and strategies to foster digital literacy, historical understanding, and critical thinking in learners. Aimed primarily at history and social sciences teachers, it outlines key concepts, teaching methods, and approaches to counter Holocaust denial and distortion. 
Countering Holocaust Denial and Distortion through Education: Lesson Activities for Secondary Education Year of publication: 2025 Corporate author: UNESCO Adaptable lessons to foster critical thinking, empathy and tolerance Holocaust denial rejects historical facts outright, while distortion manipulates the narrative. Both phenomena undermine historical truth, fuel antisemitism, and attack democratic values. By addressing these issues, this set of lesson activities for secondary education seeks to build students’ resilience against falsehoods through fostering critical thinking, empathy, and global citizenship. It was developed by UNESCO and funded by the European Commission to equip educators with tools to confront the dangerous spread of Holocaust denial and distortion. With 12 engaging lessons, students aged 14 to 18 will explore the historical facts of the Holocaust while learning to critically evaluate misinformation in today’s digital world. From analyzing survivor testimonies to deconstructing harmful memes and conspiracy theories, this resource features 12 adaptable lessons that focus on historical literacy, media analysis, and social-emotional competencies. Topics range from identifying denial and distortion, evaluating media and online sources, analyzing primary evidence like survivor testimonies, and understanding the misuse of Holocaust history in memes and conspiracy theories. Activities are scaffolded with questions, examples, and practical exercises to encourage analytical skills and promote meaningful classroom discussions. The lessons also include suggestions for incorporating primary sources, visiting memorial sites, and addressing broader issues of genocide and hate. In doing so, the guide aims to not only preserve Holocaust memory but also strengthen the values of truth, empathy, and tolerance in younger generations. 
Covering Hate Speech: A Guide for Journalists Year of publication: 2025 Author: Cherian George Corporate author: UNESCO This guide is the first in a series of guides for journalists prepared jointly by the UNESCO Communication and Information and Education Sectors on covering hate speech and its different manifestations.This guide explains what may count as hate speech, the harms it may cause, the way it works, and how media gatekeepers and other actors can address it. Many debates around hate speech are about law and regulation. Understanding the law, especially international law, can help journalists when reporting incidents where speakers are accused of hate speech. It can also help them analyse whether existing laws, as written and as applied, comply with international human rights approaches for striking the right balance between freedom of expression and the right to dignity, equality and non-discrimination. 
Как писать о языке ненависти: руководство для журналистов Year of publication: 2025 Author: Cherian George Corporate author: UNESCO Настоящее руководство — первое из серии, подготовленной совместно Секторами коммуникации и информации и образования ЮНЕСКО, и посвящено освещению журналистами языка ненависти и его различных проявлений.В настоящем руководстве рассматриваются определения языка ненависти, вред, который он может причинять, механизмы его распространения, а также способы, с помощью которых представители СМИ и другие заинтересованные стороны могут ему противодействовать. Вокруг языка ненависти нередко возникают правовые споры. Знание законодательства, особенно международного, помогает журналистам освещать случаи, когда кого-либо обвиняют в использовании языка ненависти, а также анализировать, соответствуют ли действующие нормы — как в теории, так и на практике — международным стандартам прав человека, где необходимо находить баланс между свободой выражения и правами на достоинство, равенство и недопущение дискриминации. 
Journey through the MILtiverse: Media and Information Literacy Toolkit for Youth Organizations Year of publication: 2024 Author: Sandra Acero Pulgarin | Natalia González-Gil | Alejandro Santamaría Virviescas Corporate author: UNESCO Empowering Youth Organizations with and for Media and Information LiteracyIn an era where digital interactions dominate, young people must be equipped with more than just basic digital literacy skills. Media and Information Literacy (MIL) has become an essential competency, enabling them to critically navigate the overwhelming ow of information in our fast-paced and complex information ecosystem. \With the Internet user base getting younger every day — data shows that one in three internet users is a child — countries worldwide are increasingly working on integrating MIL into their education systems. Despite these advancements, many young people still grapple with challenges such as disinformation, hate speech, and other harmful online content. Additionally, new technologies continue to emerge, creating challenges with unknown impacts. For example, 80% of young people aged 10 to 24 use AI multiple times a day for education, entertainment, and other purposes. Global youth organizations are at the forefront of UNESCO’s eorts to promote MIL among young people through informal education. This toolkit serves as a primary resource to help these organizations incorporate MIL into their strategies, policies, and operations, aiming to make MIL a lasting component of their practices and peer-to-peer educational programs. Join us on this journey through the MILtiverse and empower the next generation by making MIL a fundamental life competence for their futures.
