Connexions: Manuel pour la lutte contre le discours de haine en ligne par l’éducation aux droits humains Year of publication: 2020 Author: Ellie Keen | Mara Georgescu Corporate author: Conseil de l'Europe L’action du Conseil de l’Europe en faveur de la démocratie est fortement axée sur l’éducation : l’éducation à l’école, mais aussi l’éducation en tant que pratique de la démocratie tout au long de la vie, comme dans le cadre des activités d’apprentissage non formel. L’éducation aux droits humains et l’éducation à la citoyenneté démocratique font partie intégrante du socle que nous devons bâtir pour faire de la démocratie une réalité durable.Le discours de haine est l’une des formes les plus inquiétantes de racisme et de discrimination qui sévit aujourd’hui en Europe, amplifiée par Internet et par les médias sociaux. Le discours de haine en ligne n’est que la partie visible de l’iceberg de l’intolérance et de l’ethnocentrisme. Les jeunes sont directement concernés, en tant qu’acteurs et victimes d’atteintes aux droits humains en ligne. L’Europe a besoin que les jeunes veillent aux droits de l’homme et les protègent : c’est là l’assurance-vie de la démocratie.Connexions a été créé dans le cadre du Mouvement contre le discours de haine, autrement dit, la campagne de la jeunesse du Conseil de l’Europe pour les droits humains en ligne. C’est un outil précieux pour les éducateurs qui souhaitent aborder le discours de haine en ligne sous l’angle des droits de l’homme, tant dans le système éducatif formel que dans le cadre de l’éducation informelle. Ce manuel a été conçu pour travailler avec des apprenants de 13 à 18 ans, mais les activités proposées peuvent être adaptées à d’autres groupes d’âge.Cette édition de Connexions a été révisée après que le Conseil de l’Europe a mis fin à la coordination de la campagne de jeunesse liée au Mouvement contre le discours de haine. Bien que la campagne ait pris officiellement fin, il importe de poursuivre l’éducation et la sensibilisation des jeunes pour combattre le discours de haine et promouvoir les valeurs liées aux droits humains.

T-KIT 4: Intercultural Learning Year of publication: 2018 Author: Oana Nestian Sandu | Nadine Lyamouri-Bajja Corporate author: Council of Europe | European Commission Intercultural learning is an important topic for the priorities of both the European Commission and the Council of Europe, and of their partnership in the field of youth.Intercultural learning is an educational approach that can lead to social transformation, so that people from different cultural backgrounds can develop positive relations based on the values and principles of human rights and on seeing cultural differences as positive things. It is a form of political and social education that needs to pay attention not only to intercultural relations, but also to different understandings of culture and diversity, power relations, distribution of resources, political and social context, human rights, discrimination, history and daily interactions among different groups.This T-Kit was developed for the context of youth work and non-formal education with young people, both of which support the personal development, social integration and active citizenship of young people. Educators and youth workers have an important role in addressing intercultural learning in their work with young people. They can stimulate young people’s learning in their daily lives, so that they can question and extend their perception, develop competences to interact positively with people from different cultural backgrounds and embrace the values of diversity, equality and dignity. In today’s Europe, these values and skills are fundamental for young people and for society as a whole in order to continue building peace and mutual understanding.
