Strengthening Peace-Education and Resilience of Vulnerable Youth

This session focuses on innovation in digital online/offline education to strengthen the resilience of vulnerable youth in the digital era. The discussion focuses on the relevance of cultural literacy in preparing such programmes, to make online/offline education relevant to each place. 

The objective of the session is to discuss how culturally aware online/offline education can challenge social norms and stereotypes, strengthen critical thinking skills and contribute to peace-building, inter-religious dialogue and mutual understanding.

Several initiatives are presented for discussion: the East Africa based Digital Innovation and Skills Hub (DISH), the ICC TFV approach to Peace Education, the ACP-EU Culture programme on cultural and creative approaches to the socio-economic development of ACP countries. Skill-building focuses on a combination of Computer Science, Health, Mental Health, Law and Customary Law, Peace-Building and Communication, Education and Business Administration. The curricula are developed with cultural awareness. 

The session explores ways of bridging the digital divide by providing equal access to digital technology, skills and employment for students in the Horn and other ACP regions with a culturally sensitive design.

With Jago Kosolosky (MO*).

21 June, 18h30, Studio 5, Brussels Expo.
