Over the past few months, the surge in terrorist attacks, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia and other forms of intolerance, and persistent conflicts along ethnic and religious lines have claimed the lives of many citizens around the world, infringed upon human rights and fundamental freedoms, thereby undermining efforts to build sustainable peace.

 

In this context, what educational policies should be adopted to fight against racism, antisemitism, islamophobia and other forms of intolerance?
