Promouvoir la culture du dialogue entre les cultures dans le monde Arabe Year of publication: 2013 Author: Selim El Sayegh Corporate author: UNESCO Beirut Le défi majeur des soulèvements arabes réside dans le lecteur de la jeunesse. Comptabilisation de 60 pour cent de la population arabe, de la jeunesse ont été réclame des réformes politiques et économiques. Pendant les révoltes, ces créances sont devenues plus radicales à la recherche d'un changement fondamental. Cette évolution progressive, d'un changement relativement partielle à l'une complète plus absolue, ouvre la voie à une nouvelle ère avec une construction intellectuelle différente. Avec l'éviction des dictatures, toutes les forces de la société civile se déchaînent avec d'énormes ressources réelles et potentielles mobilisées pour contribuer à l'édification du nouvel ordre. Des groupes de solidarité, les communautés, les partis, les associations et organisations de toute nature parmi beaucoup d'autres mettent en avant de nouvelles idées et plans d'action adéquats. Liberté ainsi acclamé devient le cri de la dignité, l'honneur et la fierté. Jamais auparavant dans le monde arabe a l'individu avait une telle place centrale comme il le fait aujourd'hui. Un individu de saisir pleinement les possibilités de la liberté restaurée et reconnue la dignité donne naissance à un nouveau citoyen agissant dans un nouveau paradigme; un nouveau citoyen qui cherche une transcendance de l'ego de relier l'individu au bien commun. Ce nouveau paradigme permet l'individu en tant que citoyen au nom de l'égalité, tout en reconnaissant en même temps le droit à la différence de chaque citoyen en ce qui concerne l'appartenance à une culture ou sous-culture. Le droit d'être différent implique plus que le droit à la différence et à contester et par le fait même, l'obligation de règlement pacifique. Le droit à la différence, par l'appartenance à une culture ou d'une sous-culture signifie une nouvelle ère de liberté et de dignité, l'obligation de procéder à une transformation des modèles de génération de différends et les conflits entre les cultures. Dès lors, la question de la promotion de la culture du dialogue interculturel dans la foulée des révoltes arabes représente les principales caractéristiques qui seront reflétées ci-après.
The SDGs and Cities INTERNATIONAL HUMAN MOBILITY Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: International Centre for the Promotion of Human Rights | (ICPHR) The Handbook is to address new situations – and responses to these situations – generated by the global phenomenon of human mobility in urban spaces. Democracies are being threatened by the sustained growth of social gaps and the exclusion of vast sectors of the population from political systems and benefits of development, placing structural limits on the exercise of human rights. In this context, where new tensions and problems have arisen such as massive displacements of the population, the appearance of diverse types of extremism, of wars and conflicts and climate change in turn place these social sectors under conditions of structural inequality, exclusion and discrimination, as the main victims of human rights violations. This Handbook was prepared and published with the support and assistance of the UNESCO Sector for Social and Human Sciences through its Regional Science Bureau in Montevideo and the Latin American and Caribbean Coalition of Cities against Racism, Discrimination and Xenophobia.
[Draft Evaluation Report] External Evaluation of the UNESCO-IICBA Project on: “Teacher Training & Development for Peace-Building in the Horn of Africa and Surrounding Countries” Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: UNESCO International Institute for Capacity-Building in Africa (IICBA) The project on “Teacher Training and Development for Peace-Building in the Horn of Africa and Surrounding Countries” was designed by UNESCO-IICBA and financed by the Government of Japan. The project benefitted six conflict-affected countries; Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Kenya, Uganda, and South Sudan by building on the mandate and niche expertise of UNESCO-IICBA in teacher education, as well as benefiting from the empathetic insights and financing of the Government of Japan.This evaluation report analyses the design, implementation, and consolidation of the project to assess the likelihood that it can facilitate peace education as an effective and integral part of the national education systems. The project’s short timeframe and modest financing mean that the evaluation could not credibly deal with its outcomes and impact; but efforts are made to gauge the uptake and sustainability of this project as a vehicle for promoting peace education and so help to prevent violent conflict and cultivate a culture of peace in the countries concerned.

A metro map illustrated in the 17 sustainable development goals Year of publication: 2018 Author: Rembert Jonckheere Corporate author: ASPnet Flanders (Belgium) “Tackling one SDG… is tackling all of them!”This metro map is a complex illustration of the 17 sustainable development goals. With different kinds of topics as service stations and the SDG’s connecting them, it shows how the goals can relate to each other, and thus it emphasises their holistic nature. I do not pretend to be completely exhaustive or correct. Probably one can add more links and topics, but this map could be helpful in education or in other institutions as a source of inspiration to start up projects within the framework of the sustainable development goals.
Disinformation and Peacebuilding in Sub-Saharan Africa : Security Implications of AI-Altered Information Environments : Research Report Year of publication: 2024 Author: Eduardo Albrecht | Eleonore Fournier-Tombs | Rebecca Brubake Corporate author: United Nations University This report aims to further explore the way in which AI technologies as they currently stand impact peace and conflict, and what methods might be used to mitigate their adverse effects - through the development of better tools and the inclusion of peace and conflict considerations in AI governance frameworks. The report proposes the following recommendations: 1. More funding and support should be provided to civil society organization efforts to expand media literacy and fact-checking initiatives using AI tools to enhance capabilities. 2. Governments need to work with civil society to develop and implement comprehensive, transparent legal frameworks combating disinformation. These legislative measures need to support digital and media literacy campaigns and fact-checking organizations. 3. Social media companies need to expand investment and research into understanding local information environments, so they can better identify and respond to instances of disinformation in all contexts in which they operate and enhance transparency. 4. Peacebuilding organizations need to carefully consider local media ecosystems and information environments when conducting conflict analyses, and factor these dynamics into their projects' frameworks.
