Why should we confront painful and violent chapters of our past through education? This short video explores why teaching about histories of violence, such as atrocity crimes, genocide or colonial injustices, can help to build understanding and awareness for a more just and peaceful future. Learn how understanding violent pasts helps students develop critical thinking, empathy, and a commitment to human rights. Part of UNESCO’s Teaching and Learning about Histories of Violence online course, this video shows how education can challenge prejudice, promote dialogue and empathy, and prevent future violence. 🎓 Access the course: sdgacademy.org/courses 🔍 Learn more about UNESCO's programme on addressing violent pasts through education: unesco.org/en/articles/what-you-need-know-about-unescos-policy-guide-addressing-violent-pasts-through-education #UNESCO #EducationForPeace #GlobalCitizenship
