International Conference on Prevention of Violent Extremism through Education

UNESCO and the UNESCO Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development are convening the UNESCO International Conference on the Prevention of Violent Extremism through Education, in Hotel Novetel, New Delhi, India on 19 and 20 September 2016.
 
The International Conference seeks to build a common understanding, among senior education policy makers from around the world, about the educational interventions and approaches that are needed to ensure that education systems contribute appropriately and effectively to the prevention of violent extremism.

On the first day of the International Conference on Prevention of Violent Extremism through Education, UNESCO MGIEP is organising a unique town-hall discussion with 50 selected youth and approximately 200 senior education officials from across the globe.

The aim is to mainstream the collective voice of the youth for inclusion in policy-decision making at the highest level. It will provide a unique opportunity to the youth to engage on the topic, allowing their voice to reach policy makers unobstructed by the artificial barriers of podia.
