Professor Scherto Gill of the Global Humanity for Peace Institute joined the UNESCO 2024 Global Forum Against Racism and Discrimination held in Barcelona on 10th and 11th of December. The Forum brought together technical and policy experts to advocate for and advance the international movement for structural justice and social equality.
As the Coordinator of UNESCO Collective Healing Initiative, for this event, Professor Gill has been planning and designing, with our community partners, an experiential workshop on intergenerational dialogue and inquiry (IDI). IDI aims to examine and address the legacies of dehumanisation, including slavery, colonialism, racism and discrimination. IDI has been a main process of the Collective Healing Circles (CHC) that had been piloted in communities across 14 countries around the Atlantic Ocean.
The Intergenerational Dialogue and Inquiry workshop formed part of UNESCO flagship ‘Master Class Against Racism and Discrimination’ programme on 10th December 2024 during the UNESCO Global Forum.
The Master Classes against Racism and Discrimination, an initiative led by UNESCO, aims to foster a global understanding of racism among young people while creating a platform to propose actionable policies and solutions to combat racism and discrimination in our societies.
