It also marks UNESCO’s effort to contribute to the implementation of the UN Secretary-General’s <a href="https://www.un.org/counterterrorism/ctitf/en/plan-action-prevent-violent-extremism" target="_blank"><span style="color:#214A87;text-decoration:none">Plan

ideologies,” said Irina Bokova, UNESCO Director-General. “We need a specific type of education to create the conditions that can build learners resilience to hateful narratives and strengthen their commitment to non-violence and peace. This new UNESCO document
offers guidance to help Member States deliver education programmes that build young people’s resilience to violent extremist messaging and foster a positive sense of identity and belonging.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Guide on the Prevention of Violent Extremism</span></a>, this Guide for policy-makers outlines measures that can be taken within education systems to address challenges posed by violent extremism. For example, the development of inclusive education policies
and non-discriminatory educational contents; the promotion of safe learning environments; the development of confident and well-trained teachers and, finally, the establishment of empowering partnerships. The document also presents modalities of implementation
and includes frequently asked questions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
