It also makes the case for the ongoing importance of advancing youth and adult literacy, a priority that was already neglected even before the pandemic but which deserves all our attention. ILD 2020 thus seeks to trigger reimaginations of literacy teaching and learning in the COVID-19 crisis and beyond, with a particular focus on the role of educators.

Measuring Intercultural Dialogue: A Conceptual and Technical Framework Year of publication: 2020 Author: Ciara Aucoin | Euan Mackway-Jones | Marcel Smits Corporate author: UNESCO | Institute for Economics and Peace The challenges of addressing growing diversity have amply demonstrated that this vision is needed now more than ever. We all have much to gain from more open and connected societies yet misunderstanding, exclusion and discrimination continue to push identity and culture-based grievances towards conflict and violence, challenging the very foundations of sustainable and inclusive development.This report represents a first step in the UNESCO-IEP joint initiative to strengthen the evidence-base on dialogue for peace and development. Through mobilizing better data on effective dialogue, it is our sincere hope that policymakers and practitioners can better support meaningful and transformative dialogue, holistically supporting the aspirations of the 2030 Agenda. Through this, we hope to elevate dialogue as a connecting enabler of all pillars of UN action, accelerating progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals and making good on the promise of ‘leaving no one behind’.
