“Through this conference, UNESCO wishes to advance Holocaust education and support in a broad sense the objectives of Education for Global Citizenship, a priority in regard to Sustainable Development Goal on Education,” said Karel Fracapane, UNESCO co-ordinator for the initiative.
“Our objective is to make sure that education systems encourage critical thinking, and help learners become proactive citizens who value human dignity and reject racism, antisemitism and other forms of prejudice that can lead to group-targeted violence,” he added.
UNESCO’s program on education about the Holocaust and genocide is part of the organization’s efforts to empower learners to become critical thinkers, responsible and active global citizens who value human dignity and respect for all, reject antisemitism, racism and other forms of prejudice that can lead to violence and genocide.
