Today we are celebrating International Day of Education https://lnkd.in/enMUBTgY and so please share this message from the UNESCO website:   “UNESCO is dedicating the International Day of Education celebrated on 24 January 2024 to the crucial role education and teachers play in countering hate speech, a phenomenon which has snowballed in recent years with the use of social media, damaging the fabric of our societies.    The world is seeing a surge of violent conflicts paralleled by an alarming rise of discrimination, racism, xenophobia, and hate speech. The impact of this violence transcends any boundary based on geography, gender, race, religion, politics, offline and online. An active commitment to peace is more urgent today than ever: Education is central to this endeavour, as underlined by the UNESCO Recommendation on Education for Peace, Human Rights and Sustainable Development. Learning for peace must be transformative, and help empower learners with the necessary knowledge, values, attitudes and skills and behaviours to become agents of peace in their communities."   The recent ValuesJam Deepdive Conversation on EDUCATION introduced by Alex Catallo of Curriculum for Life explored a closely related theme. The starting question was “How might educational settings promote ‘connection’ to enable positive change in our communities” https://lnkd.in/e2WTQFx2  Please add your own thoughts, experiences and observations to add to the debate.   #values #education #hatespeech #peace #connection #communities #positivechange

On 24 January we will celebrate the International Day of Education under the theme “Learning for lasting peace”. As the world is seeing a surge of violent conflicts paralleled by an alarming rise of discrimination, racism, xenophobia, and hate speech, our joint efforts to revert this disturbing trend in and through education are more urgent today than ever. An active commitment to peace is what we are all working towards. Education is central to this endeavor, as underlined by the new Recommendation on Education for Peace, Human Rights and Sustainable Development, resulting of a remarkable consensus among all 194 UNESCO Member States. This international instrument defines what needs to evolve in our approaches to education to achieve lasting peace, foster human development and promote dialogue. UNESCO and the Group of Friends for Education and Lifelong Learning are organizing a high-level panel and dialogue focused on this year’s theme at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. The event will mobilize Member States, UN agencies and programmes, UN-affiliated NGOs committed to education for peace, teachers and other education stakeholders and young people.   UNESCO is dedicating this year’s #EducationDay to the crucial role education and teachers play in countering hate speech. On this occasion, UNESCO will also organize a one-day online training (Master Class) for several thousand teachers from around the world on the deconstruction of hate speech, which will give them the tools to better spot, tackle and prevent hate speech incidents.

On this International Day of Education, let's remember the power of teaching not just history but also combatting hatred. In today's world, where hate speech is alarmingly on the rise, the role of education extends far beyond formulas, equations, literature, and languages. It's crucial that our educational systems also foster the values of understanding, solidarity, and mutual respect. Education should be a tool that not only imparts knowledge but also nurtures compassionate and empathetic global citizens. Let's use #EducationDay to advocate for a holistic approach to learning, one that balances academic rigor with the essential human qualities that bind us together. Join us in raising your voice for an education that builds a better, more understanding world. 💜 #InternationalDayOfEducation #EducationForAll #HumanityInEducation UNESCO
