This Transforming ²Ñ·¡±·â€™t²¹±ô¾±³Ù¾±±ð²õ Master Class is part of the wider UNESCO Master Class Series against Racism and Discrimination which aims to:
Empower young people, through peer-learning fora, by strengthening their knowledge related to, and capacity to combat, stereotypes and discrimination,
Invite youth to become project leaders to make a change within their own schools and communities,
Draw attention and visibility to, and understand how and why, prejudices, discrimination and violence persist across all spheres of society, and present good practices to take action,
Inspire policymakers, at the global, national and local levels, to pursue collective efforts in the fight against all forms of discrimination.
The Master Classes serve as dialogue and training spaces for youth with three crucial components:
Knowledge sharing and building through in-depth professorial lectures and exchanges,
Network building via exchanges between young people of different schools, associations, and countries, with the support and mentorship of renowned role models,
Capacity building through practical workshops to learn how to design and implement transformative projects at the local level.
Upon conclusion, each Master Class culminates with the presentation and adoption, by the young participants, of commitments to design and pursue their own initiatives.
