Report on the Right to Education in Human Mobility in Central America, the Dominican Republic and Mexico: Towards Inclusive, Equitable, Quality Education With Lifelong Learning Opportunities Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: UNESCO San José | Central American Educational and Cultural Coordination | Central American Integration System Although human mobility is not a new phenomenon, data indicate that the number of people in this situation has reached its highest point since records began and there are no signs that the trend will decrease in the coming years. This scenario threatens to become a structural situation, strongly impacting the right to education and educational systems. Therefore, it is imperative that States and other key actors make a deep commitment to guarantee the fundamental right to education of people in situations of mobility through urgent measures, in line with the provisions of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 of the United Nations 2030 Agenda. For this reason, the preparation of this Report on the right to education of people in situations of mobility in Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama and the Dominican Republic has been undertaken. The Report is an effort by UNESCO and the Central American Educational and Cultural Coordination (CECC/SICA) in collaboration with UNHCR, IOM, UNICEF, the Norwegian Refugee Council and RET International, and with the technical support of the SES Foundation and the UNESCO Chair for the Development of International Education at George Washington University (United States).

Este escenario amenaza con volverse una situación estructural, impactando fuertemente en el derecho a la educación y los sistemas educativos. Por ello, es perentorio el compromiso profundo de los Estados y otros actores clave para garantizar el derecho fundamental a la educación de las personas en situación de movilidad a través de medidas urgentes, en sintonía con lo estipulado en el Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) 4 de la Agenda 2030 de las Naciones Unidas. Por ello se ha emprendido la elaboración del presente Informe sobre el derecho a la educación de las personas en situación de movilidad en Belice, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, México, Nicaragua, Panamá y República Dominicana. El Informe constituye un esfuerzo de la UNESCO y la Coordinación Educativa y Cultural Centroamericana (CECC/SICA) en colaboración con ACNUR, OIM, UNICEF, el Consejo Noruego para Refugiados y RET International, y con el apoyo técnico de la Fundación SES y la Cátedra UNESCO para el Desarrollo de la Educación Internacional en la Universidad George Washington (Estados Unidos) 
Educational Route: Lessons Learned Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: Save the Children This report, prepared by Save the Children in partnership with HIAS and funded by ECHO, sets out the main lessons learned from the Educational Route project, which has had areas of intervention in Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. The objective of the project has been to contribute to reducing barriers to access to education for children, adolescents and families on the move along the Central American migratory routes.

Gender-Based Hate Crime Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Gender-based hate crimes are a consequence of gender inequalities and disproportionately affect women, as well as anyone perceived as not complying with prevailing gender norms. Gender-based hate crimes often seek to intimidate and suppress ways of life or expressions of identity that are perceived as not complying with traditional gender norms. They have a significant, long-lasting impact on the victims, and undermine security and social cohesion by perpetuating gender inequalities. The existence of such crimes also underscores wider trends of intolerance towards other groups. Everyone has a role to play in countering this and all forms of intolerance. 
International Symposium on Cultivating Wisdom, Harvesting Peace: Educating for a Culture of Peace through Values, Virtues, and Spirituality of Diverse Cultures, Faiths, and Civilizations; Symposium Recommendations Year of publication: 2005 Corporate author: Griffith University. Multi-Faith Centre On the 10-13th August 2005, over 120 delegates from 25 countries gathered at the International Symposium to share their inspirational insights and experiences on the theme of “Cultivating Wisdom, Harvesting Peace.” The Symposium was organized and hosted by the Multi-Faith Centre of Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia with the support of Pure Land Learning College, UNESCO and various UNESCO National Commissions, centres or offices, and numerous faith, interfaith, educational and civil society organizations and institutions. Reflecting a diversity of cultures, faiths and spirituality traditions, the delegates presented rich and empowering stories as well as critical analyses of how communities, institutions, civil society organizations, and international or global agencies have organized educational projects and programs to address the root causes of violence and conflicts and build a culture of peace at all levels of life. Over four intensive days of inter-faith and intra-faith dialogue, the Symposium participants engaged with humility and passion in sharing their wisdoms on ways to promote mutual understanding, solidarity, and cooperation across cultures and national boundaries. While recognizing that differences between faiths and cultures need to be understood, the dialogue also clearly showed that all faiths, cultures, and civilizations have, at their core, key values, virtues, and ethical principles that inspire and sustain peaceful relationships, communities and societies.The Symposium also highlighted the urgent need for exemplars and possibilities for transforming principles, values and visions into personal and social actions and practices in all the multiple dimensions of a culture of peace. In this first decade of the 21st century, it is clear that there are still many formidable challenges of building peace posed by prevailing realities of conflicts and violence in local, national, international and global contexts. The Symposium on “Cultivating Wisdom, Harvesting Peace” was therefore a most timely and relevant event, not only for promoting the urgent dialogue needed, but also most importantly in proposing constructive policies for educational transformation worldwide. This Summary of the Symposium Recommendations will hopefully be a very helpful document for the implementation of effective and creative strategies and practices of educating for wisdom towards a culture of peace. It is offered to government leaders, policy makers, educators, and leaders and members of diverse faith and interfaith institutions and communities in all societies and regions, in the hope that we will join our minds, hearts and spirit in solidarity to build a “one world” of peace, compassion, justice, love and diverse shared values for the well being of a common humanity and earth community
