How Does Education About the Holocaust Advance Global Citizenship Education? Year of publication: 2018 Author: E. Doyle Stevick Corporate author: UNESCO Can education about past genocides shape our understanding of how violence occur in today’s world? Can it foster a sense of belonging to a common humanity and empower young people to become active citizens who work globally for peace and human rights? How does learning about such crimes, which profoundly affect the core dignity of human beings, support the objectives of Global Citizenship Education (GCED), a priority of the 2030 Education Agenda?This paper, commissioned by UNESCO, offers an overview of empirical research on teaching and learning about the Holocaust and how such education may impact leaners’ cognitive, socio-emotional and behavioural skills and competencies. It provides insights for educators on how effective lessons about the Holocaust can meet some of the key expected outcomes of Global Citizenship Education (GCED), such as critical thinking skills, attitudes of empathy and solidarity, and motivation to take action to prevent human rights abuses.

Human Rights: Back to the Future (The UNESCO Courier no. 4, October-December 2018) Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: UNESCO Benedetto Croce, Aldous Huxley, Humayun Kabir, Harold J. Laski, Lo Chung-Shu, Salvador de Madariaga, Jacques Maritain, F.S.C. Northrop, Arnold Schoenberg, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin – these are some of the contributors to this issue of the Courier. To mark the seventieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, adopted on 10 December 1948, we decided to take a detour into the past to enable us to better orient ourselves in the future. This explains the title of this issue: “Back to the Future”. Travelling back to 1946, when the world was grappling with the aftermath of the Second World War, “what kind of moral statement could the international community make that would adequately express its collective outrage and hope, however utopian, for a better future?” Mark Goodale discusses this massive international effort in his introductory article for our Wide Angle section, which he also guest-edited. The series of articles in this section uncovers a hitherto little-known part of the history of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights – the inquiry into the origins and philosophic bases of human rights. This initiative was decided upon during the first UNESCO General Conference (November-December 1946) and launched the following year by the Organization’s first Director-General, Julian Huxley. It was coordinated by the young French philosopher, Jacques Havet. For this project, UNESCO brought together leading intellectual figures of the post-war world, thus making an essential contribution to the reflection on human rights at the time. It remains amazingly relevant today. Equally relevant today are the drawings of Our Guest, the Peruvian artist Fernando Bryce, who derives his inspiration from this historic period “when the idea of progress was genuinely linked to a whole new perspective”. His series, The Book of Needs – which takes pages of the Courier between 1948 and 1954 and transforms them into works of art – is featured as a supplement in this issue. Droits de l’homme : retour vers le futur (Le Courrier de l’UNESCO no. 4, octobre-décembre 2018) Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO) Benedetto Croce, Aldous Huxley, Humayun Kabir, Harold J. Laski, Lo Chung-Shu, Jacques Maritain, F. S. C. Northrop, Arnold Schoenberg, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin : voici quelques-uns des contributeurs de ce numéro du Courrier. Pour marquer le soixante-dixième anniversaire de la Déclaration universelle des droits de l’homme, adoptée le 10 décembre 1948, nous avons décidé de faire un détour par le passé, afin de mieux nous orienter dans l’avenir. Ce qui explique le titre de ce numéro : « Retour vers le futur ». Nous sommes donc en 1946. Alors que le spectre de la guerre totale hante tous les esprits, « la communauté internationale a besoin de formuler un énoncé moral qui exprime adéquatement son indignation collective et son espoir (pour utopique qu'il fût) d'un avenir meilleur », explique Mark Goodale, auteur de l’article introductif et consultant pour Grand angle. Un dossier qui dévoile tout un pan méconnu de l’histoire de la Déclaration universelle des droits de l’homme : l’enquête mondiale sur les fondements philosophiques des droits de l’homme, décidée lors de la première Conférence générale de l’UNESCO (novembre-décembre 1946), lancée l’année suivante par le premier Directeur général, Julian Huxley, et coordonnée par le jeune philosophe français Jacques Havet. L’UNESCO a réuni autour de ce projet l’élite intellectuelle du monde de l'après-guerre et apporté ainsi une contribution essentielle à la réflexion sur les droits de l’homme. Elle demeure aujourd’hui d’une étonnante actualité. Tout aussi actuels sont les dessins de Notre invité, l’artiste péruvien Fernando Bryce qui puise son inspiration dans cette période historique « où l'idée de progrès ouvrait réellement de multiples perspectives ». Sa série The Book of Needs (Le livre des nécessités), qui transfigure en œuvres d’art des pages du Courrier des années 1948 - 1954, fait l’objet du supplément à ce numéro. Derechos humanos: regreso al futuro (El Correo de la UNESCO no. 4, Octubre-Diciembre 2018) Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura (UNESCO) Benedetto Croce, Aldous Huxley, Humayun Kabir, Harold J. Laski, Lo Chung-Shu, Salvador de Madariaga, Jacques Maritain, F. S. C. Northrop, Arnold Schoenberg, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin: estos son algunos de los colaboradores de este número de El Correo. Para conmemorar el 70 aniversario de la Declaración universal de los derechos humanos, adoptada el 10 de diciembre de 1948, decidimos hacer un recorrido por el pasado para orientarnos mejor en el futuro, lo cual explica el título de este número: “Regreso al futuro”. Nos encontramos pues en 1946. Mientras el espectro de la guerra mundial atormenta todas las conciencias, “la comunidad internacional necesita formular un enunciado moral que exprese adecuadamente su indignación colectiva y su esperanza (por utópica que fuese) de un futuro mejor”, explica Mark Goodale, autor del artículo introductorio y consultor para nuestra sección Gran angular. Una sección que desvela toda una parte desconocida de la historia de la Declaración universal de los derechos humanos: la encuesta mundial sobre los fundamentos filosóficos de los derechos del hombre, decidida durante la primera Conferencia General de la UNESCO (noviembre-diciembre de 1946), enviada el año siguiente por el primer Director General, Julian Huxley, y coordinada por el joven filósofo francés Jacques Havet. La UNESCO reunió en torno a este proyecto a la élite intelectual del mundo de la posguerra y aportó así una contribución fundamental a la reflexión sobre los derechos humanos. Una encuesta que aún hoy resulta de sorprendente actualidad. Igual de actuales son los dibujos de Nuestro invitado, el artista peruano Fernando Bryce, que encuentra su inspiración en este período histórico “donde la idea de progreso abría realmente múltiples perspectivas”. Su serie The Book of Needs (El libro de las necesidades), que transfigura en obras de arte algunas páginas de El Correo de los años 1948 - 1954, es objeto del suplemento de este número.
