Additionally, it explores the transition from citizenship education to a comprehension of democracy.

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.

It is concluded that fostering tolerance values should be a shared responsibility of both the community and the school, not solely the latter. 
终身学习背景下老年人群体自主参与学习活动的影响因素实证研究 (老龄化研究 第10卷 第3期) Year of publication: 2023 Author: 郑滢 在终身学习背景下老年人自主参与学习活动是积极老龄化的一种表现。本文基于CGSS2021年数据，对于3342份老年人群体自主参与学习的影响因素进行了实证研究。本研究采用有序逻辑回归分析模型研究，将人口特征、个体认知能力、社会保障和居住环境等纳入分析模型分析其与老年人群体是否自主参与学习的关系。结合实证研究结果与我国老年人自主参与学习的实际情况，最终可以基本了解到我国老年人群体自主参与学习的意愿与频率仍较低，而我国老年人群体自主参与学习的影响因素表现在人口特征、个体认知能力、居住环境三个方面。据此，本研究在终身学习背景的基础上提出针对性地关注不同老年人的学习需求，多元化老年人学习渠道并积极推动老年教育的普惠性发展，营造终身学习的社会氛围。 
AI and the Holocaust: Rewriting History?; The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Understanding the Holocaust Year of publication: 2024 Author: Mykola Makhortykh | Heather Mann Corporate author: UNESCO The threats associated with AI on safeguarding the record of the Holocaust are manifold, including the potential for manipulation by malicious actors, the introduction of falsehoods or dissemination of biased information, and the gradual erosion of public trust in authentic records. This paper provides a warning of what is at stake for the preservation of historical truth in a digital era increasingly mediated by AI. It highlights five major concerns:1. AI automated content may invent facts about the Holocaust2. Falsifying historical evidence: Deepfake Technology3. AI models can be manipulated to spread hate speech4. Algorithmic bias can spread Holocaust denial5. Oversimplifying history While there are some benefits to be gained, such as enhanced engagement and interaction opportunities for learners, as well as more efficient data processing capabilities for researchers, to navigate these challenges and capitalize on the benefits, it’s essential for AI designers, policymakers, educators, and researchers to collaborate closely. Only AI systems equipped with robust safeguards and human rights assessments, coupled with an increased focus on developing digital literacy skills, can uphold the integrity of historical truth and ensure the responsible use of artificial intelligence.
