SUMMARY:Unraveling #fakenews from opinion-making information:   a News Literacy discussion
DESCRIPTION:This event was streamed live.\nClick here to view the webcast. \nThis panel discussion is the second installment of a series of panels organized by UNAOC at UNHQ on topics relevant to Media and Information Literacy. Following February’s discussion “Media and Information Literacy: Educational Strategies for the Prevention of Violent Extremism”\, this panel will focus on the “fake news in social media” phenomena from the perspective of News Literacy. \nNews Literacy is defined as the development of critical thinking skills applied to judge the reliability and credibility of information\, whether it comes via print\, radio\, television or the Internet. The term News Literacy is generally associated with schools of communication and journalism rather than pedagogical schools. Some view it as a sub‐sector of the Media and Information Literacy (MIL) field; others as a distinct and unique entity.  \n\n  \n\n\n\n\n  \nUNAOC recognizes the urgency of developing and expanding News Literacy skills in the current political and social state of the world. The onset of so-called “fake news”\, widely distributed through social media platforms\, has the capacity to twist public opinion and shape individuals’ ideological preferences and visions of the world.  \nNews Literacy is an acutely important skill in the Digital Age as citizens struggle with information overload and the intricacies of determining its authenticity. A citizens’ ability to judge the relevance and reliability of information is a leading indicator of the public health of civil society around the world.  \n\n SPEAKERS: \n\nNihalSaad\, Chief of Cabinet & Spokesperson for the UNAOC High Representative \nMaher Nasser\, Director\, Outreach Division\, United Nations Department of Public Information \nHoward Schneider\, Executive Director\, Center for News Literacy\, Stony Brook University\nAlan Miller\, Founder and CEO\, News Literacy Project\nMitra Kalita\, Vice-President of Programming\, CNN \nÁine Kerr\, Manager of Journalism Partnerships\, Facebook\nDina Temple-Raston\, Counterterrorism Correspondent\, National Public Radio\nMichelle Ciulla Lipkin\, Executive Director\, National Association for Media Literacy Education\n\n\n WHEN: \nThursday\, September 7th\, 2017\, 11 am to 1 pm \n\n WHERE: \nConference Room 6\, United Nations Headquarters\, New York \n\n RSVP: \nThis event is by invitation. RSVP is mandatory. Please register by Wednesday\, August 30th\, 2017.\nClick here to RSVP now. \n\n CONTACT:\nFor additional information please contact Jordi Torrent at jordit@unops.org. \n\n SOCIAL MEDIA:\nThe official hashtag is #UnravelFakeNews.

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion: The Role of Religious Leaders in Peacebuilding in the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) is organizing a panel discussion on “The Role of Religious Leaders in Peacebuilding in the Middle East”. The event will take place on 18 July 2017 at the United Nations headquarters\, New York. The opening session will feature the United Nations Secretary-General\, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of Spain\, the High Representative for the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations and three religious leaders representing the three monotheistic religions of the Holy Land – Muslim\, Jewish and Christian. \nThe panel discussion will serve as a follow-up to the November 2016 Summit of Religious Leaders for Peace in the Middle East\, held in Alicante\, Spain – an initiative facilitated by the Spanish Government and co-sponsored by UNAOC. \nThe stability of the Middle East region is crucial to the peace and stability of the world. The fifty long years of the Arab-Israeli conflict have fueled cycles of violence and retribution. Moreover\, the prolonged conflict has been misappropriated and exploited by extremist groups and elements. \nIn this context\, religious leaders in the Holy Land play a key role in peacebuilding through promoting peaceful co-existence and tolerance as well as providing a counter-narrative to violent extremism. \nReligious ideologies continue to carry great weight with a vast majority of people throughout the Middle East. For some\, this may pose a challenge for peace and stability. But it may also provide an opportunity for a solution. As such\, public discourse within and between Jewish and Muslim religious leaders who promote the culture of peace inherent in these religions\, maybe a way forward to ease the political tension in the Holy land. \nWith such influence within their respective communities\, religious leaders play a role in building trust and mutual understanding. They summon their communities to live in peace side by side in the Holy Land. \nThis initiative is based on the assumption that true peace between Israelis and Palestinians is possible when mutual trust exists between them. The goal of the initiative is to prepare the hearts and minds for true peace in the Middle East by involving religious leadership from both sides who voice a common message of peaceful coexistence as an essential element for building and sustaining peace.
