A Teacher's guide on the prevention of violent extremism

While violent extremism is not confined to any age, sex, group or community, young people are particularly vulnerable to the messages of violent extremists and terrorist organizations. 

This document has been developed in direct response to the needs of UNESCO’s Member States as expressed in the landmark  197/EX  Decision  46  taken by  UNESCO’s  Executive  Board in October 2015, which calls on the Organization to enhance its capacity to assist countries as they work to strengthen their education sector responses to violent extremism, including through human-rights-based Global Citizenship Education (GCED) programmes, keeping in mind national contexts. As such, this Guide also constitutes UNESCO’s first contribution to implementing the UN Secretary-General’s Plan of Action to Prevent Violent Extremism as it relates to education.
