Harnessing intercultural competencies for peace building, UNESCO, Paris, France, 2023.
To explore the potential of intercultural competencies to serve as an enabler for peace in fragile, conflict-affected and post-conflict contexts, the UNESCO Series of Regional Expert Consultations on Intercultural Competencies for Peacebuilding was organized by the Social and Human Sciences Sector in June-September 2023.
Numerous recommendations were presented by the experts answering three main questions:
- What are the key elements of intercultural competencies in the context of peacebuilding?
- Why do we need intercultural competencies for conflict prevention, resolution and post-conflict reconciliation and healing?
- How to develop intercultural competencies, especially in fragile, conflict-affected and post-conflict contexts?
