SUMMARY:News Generation Against Hate: Empowering La Courneuve youth to create alternative narratives and champion diversity in the media
DESCRIPTION:Watch Live Here \nBACKGROUND \nThe United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) is committed to engaging with municipalities\, which are often on the frontlines of challenges linked to intercultural and interreligious tensions that may erupt within diverse communities. Implemented in collaboration with the municipality of La Courneuve (Paris area\, France)\, the project “News Generation Against Hate” equipped  young people with the tools to combat misinformation\, hate speech\, and stereotypes by promoting intercultural  and interreligious understanding in the media. Since 2021\, the project has engaged forty youth from La Courneuve between the ages of 16 and 24 to help them deconstruct stereotypes rooted in a  lack of exposure to  diverse cultures and religions. Through workshops and capacity-building activities\, participants acquired storytelling techniques and competencies to promote mutual understanding and respect for the other. Moreover\, through the production of media content such as videos and radio podcasts\, participants learned to recognize and address misinformation and discrimination in the media. Led by a group of experienced facilitators\, they produced alternative narratives and multimedia content covering local and national issues related to multiculturalism\, becoming active  actors and partners of social change. \nOVERVIEW \nHaving finalized their capacity-building training and having produced their projects on alternative narratives\, the youth participants will be traveling to New  York\, where they will present their achievements at the United Nations Headquarters on Wednesday\, 4 May. \nThrough this component of the ‘News Generation Against Hate’ project\, UNAOC seeks to empower the youth participants from the Municipality of La Courneuve by providing them with a platform for dialogue previously inaccessible to  them. UNAOC will directly contribute to amplifying  youth representation and thus allow them to have a voice in decisions that affect them\, in line with the United Nations Secretary-General 2021 Report\, ‘Our Common Agenda’.  \nMoreover\, this will also constitute a unique opportunity for UNAOC to showcase the potential of working with  local youth in collaboration with municipalities – an approach that is replicable across the board\, in line with UNAOC’s wider strategy of working with cities and local governments to mobilize action at the community level.

SUMMARY:Presentation of the “Peace4Culture Global Call” Action Plan
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC)\, the Ministry of Culture of Azerbaijan\, and the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Azerbaijan to the United Nations \n \nWatch live via UN Web TV  \nThe “Peace4Culture Global Call” Action Plan underpins the interdependence of peaceful relations and the safeguarding of cultural and religious heritage. Culture defines and reflects identity and highlights the difference between people and communities. The vast majority of people on earth are members of a faith or spiritual community. And although each has their own traditions and convictions\, they share together common values such as compassion\, humility and respect for others regardless of their religion\, race\, culture or gender. \nThe “Peace4Culture Global Call” initiative equally highlights the universality of cultural religious heritage sites as symbols of our shared humanity. In this context\, the United Nations Plan of Action to Safeguard Religious Sites\, developed by UNAOC in 2019\, emphasizes the sanctity and universality of religious sites which are symbols of our identity and shared humanity. It is noteworthy to recall the United Nations Security Council resolution 2347 of 2017\, which stresses that “the unlawful destruction of cultural heritage\, looting and smuggling of cultural property in the event of armed conflict\, including by terrorist groups\, and attempts to deny historical roots and cultural diversity can fuel and exacerbate conflicts and impede post-conflict national reconciliation\, thus undermining the security and stability\, governance and social\, economic and cultural development of affected states”. The “Peace4Culture Global Call” emphasizes that strengthening intercultural and interreligious dialogue serves as a viable tool for advancing sustainable peace and stability. At the same time\, sport and art are powerful vectors for promoting diversity\, inclusivity and mutual respect. They are a universal language that break taboos\, bridge barriers as well as inspire and connect. \n\nDownload (PDF\, 206KB)
