SUMMARY:26th Lisbon Forum: "Lessons learnt: what challenges still to overcome?"
DESCRIPTION:Mr. Miguel Moratinos\, High Representative for the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC)\, will deliver keynote remarks in a session entitled “Lessons learnt: what challenges still to overcome?” in the margins of the 26th Lisbon Forum on 2 December 2020. \n\nAbout the Lisbon Forum: \nThe world we live in is a complex system. One in which a heterogeneous network of actors has the power to influence decisions at global level\, in certain cases without necessarily being held accountable for them. A system that continues to be characterised by increasing inequalities\, which are still deeply embedded in our society. But it is also a system where us\, the people\, and our representatives\, can come together and cooperate for the common good. This is the lesson that the COVID-19 pandemic has been teaching us since day one\, forcing us to deal with a fundamental question: How can we enhance international solidarity’s impact in order to ensure a more sustainable and unified future? \nLearn More about the 2020 Lisbon Forum

SUMMARY:UNAOC Fellowship Alumni Event:  “Building peace and fostering social cohesion in the age of new media”
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) and supported by the Federal Foreign Office of the Republic of Germany\n \n\n\n When: Thursday 10 December from 11:00AM to 1:00AM EST.  \n Where: https://www.unaoc.org/fellowship-alumni-event \n\nBackground \nAcross the world\, we have witnessed an upsurge in hate speech\, bigotry and racist rhetoric on social media and other forms of communication. In the words of the High Representative for the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC)\, Miguel Ángel Moratinos: “Stigmatization and vilification targeting certain communities based on their religion or belief is an affront to Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.” In line with its motto “Many Cultures\, One Humanity”\, UNAOC has worked on addressing these challenges by adopting a whole-of-society approach to foster intercultural and interfaith dialogue\, building bridges of understanding and countering stereotyping and polarization.  \nPromoting the use of new media to foster social cohesion and sustainable peace has become crucial to tackle these threats and to deepen progress across the United Nations agenda\, UNAOC is working closely to that effect with a wide range of stakeholders such as media professionals\, policy makers\, the private sector\, civil society\, youth organizations\, women advocates\, educators\, religious and community leaders and more. In this context\, UNAOC has invited twenty young professionals and civil society leaders from Europe\, North America\, the Middle East and North Africa\, to share their recommendations and good practices for the meaningful use of new media and information technology in the global efforts for sustainable peace and social cohesion. All participants are UNAOC Fellows\, professionally involved in the fields of intercultural and interreligious dialogue\, media and peacebuilding. \n\nThe UNAOC Fellowship Programme and its Alumni Network \nThe Fellowship program is one of UNAOC’s flagship programs funded and supported by the Federal Republic of Germany. It’s an intercultural exchange programme between young professionals and civil society leaders from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA)\, and Europe and North America (EUNA). The Fellowship aims at deconstructing stereotypes and at fostering dialogue and understanding between youth of different faiths and cultures. During their trip\, UNAOC Fellows meet with a wide range of stakeholders. Together\, they explore opportunities for intercultural collaboration and exchange good practices on how to address current global challenges.  \nIn 2020\, the Fellowship Programme took the form of a virtual capacity-building exchange programme focused on “Building peace in the age of new media”. All 2020 UNAOC Fellows were selected for their professional achievements in the fields of media and peace-building. After completing their Fellowship\, participants join the UNAOC Fellowship Alumni Network\, a global pool of 250+ young experts and civil society leaders from 53 countries. UNAOC Fellowship Alumni are professionally involved in a wide spectrum of activities.  \n\nObjectives of the Event  \nThe High Representative for the UNAOC will lead an interactive discussion with twenty UNAOC Fellowship Alumni from Europe\, North America\, the Middle East\, and North Africa\, on the role new media can play in building peace and fostering social cohesion.  \nIn their exchange with the High Representative\, discussants will share good practices and ideas about how to harness the power of new media and information technology to support the global community and international organizations in their work towards building sustainable peace and fostering social cohesion.  \nTogether they will touch upon underlying issues such as exploring the definition of peace; fighting misinformation through media literacy; promoting inclusive intercultural and interreligious dialogue; drawing the line between hate speech and freedom of speech; engaging in All-of-Society partnerships  \nBasing their interventions on their own experience on the ground and engagement with UNAOC\, Fellowship Alumni will share recommendations on how to leverage new media as a tool for good in the prevention and mediation of conflicts and in achieving peace.  \nParticipants to the latest edition of the Fellowship Programme will share the lessons learned during their virtual visits to Austria\, Canada\, Egypt\, France\, Germany\, Lebanon\, Morocco\, Qatar\, Spain\, Tunisia\, the United Arab Emirates and the United States on the role of new media in peacebuilding.  \n\nVirtual Exhibition \nThe event platform will also feature an online exhibition hall with virtual booths where the audience will be able to learn more about UNAOC\, its #forSafeWorship campaign\, 2020 UNAOC Fellows’ media projects\, and other UNAOC programmes and activities. \n\n\n\nSpeakers \nH.E.
