Global Citizenship and Youth Participation in Europe Year of publication: 2016 Author: Douglas Bourn Corporate author: Oxfam | Oxfam Italia | UCL Institute of Education | CARDET | Pah Global Citizenship has been recognized as an important component of education by UNESCO through the Sustainable Development Goals launched in 2015 and the recent Global Education Congress in Croatia.While there has been considerable activity across Europe in encouraging youth engagement in democratic institutions, this report suggests that insufficient attention has been given to the linkages young people make between their outlook on the world, their personal and social identity and the ways they use tools such as social networking to engage in societies.The report also suggests to teachers that they need to address and respond to the interests of young people in issues such as refugees and migration, climate change and global terrorism by equipping them with the knowledge and skills to effectively engage in these debates.

How Can Pluralism Strengthen Peace?: Global Centre for Pluralism at the 2019 Paris Peace Forum Year of publication: 2019 Author: Meredith P. Mcghie | Aung K. Moe | Bojana Dujkovic Corporate author: Global Pluralism Award Many of the most intractable challenges we face today − from entrenched poverty to conflict-driven migration − stem from the exclusion and resentment of groups defined as “the other”.Group-based grievances arising from inequality, exclusion and feelings of injustice increase the risk of instability and conflict. Pluralism is the choice to see diversity contribute to the common good. Making this choice is essential to building more secure, peaceful and resilient societies.Meredith Preston McGhie, the Secretary General of the Global Centre for Pluralism, was joined by two winners of the 2019 Global Pluralism Award to discuss how history education and community-based reconciliation can help strengthen pluralism, sustain peace and prevent conflict in diverse societies.

Moe | Bojana Dujkovic Corporate author: Global Pluralism Award Plusieurs des épineux défis auxquels nous faisons face aujourd’hui – de l’appauvrissement endémique à la migration causée par des conflits – découlent de l’exclusion de groupes définis comme « l’autre » et du ressentiment à leur égard.Les griefs collectifs résultant de l’inégalité, de l’exclusion et de sentiments d’injustice augmentent le risque d’instabilité et de conflit. Le pluralisme est une option pour que la diversité contribue au bien commun. Il est essentiel de faire ce choix pour bâtir des sociétés plus sécuritaires, pacifiques et résilientes.Meredith Preston McGhie, secrétaire générale du Centre mondial du pluralisme, était accompagnée de deux lauréats du Prix mondial du pluralisme 2019 pour aborder la manière dont l’enseignement de l’histoire et la réconciliation à l’échelle communautaire peuvent aider à renforcer le pluralisme, entretenir la paix et prévenir l’éclatement de conflits dans les sociétés diversifiées.
