The Section of Education for Peace and Human Rights of the Division for the Promotion of Quality Education held an expert meeting on Intercultural Education from March 20-22, 2006 at UNESCO Headquarters, bringing together international experts from Australia, Bolivia, Egypt, Finland, Hungary, Korea, Lebanon, Mexico, Nigeria, South Africa and the United Kingdom, including UNESCO Chairs and academics, as well as representatives of NGO's, National Commissions and UNESCO staff from various sectors. The meeting was organized as part of the Section's activities on intercultural education, which are placed more broadly within the framework of UNESCO's activities on the Dialogue among Civilizations, the Rabat Commitment and the concerns of document 33 C/5, which requests the Director-General to continue to "strengthen initiative in the development of materials for education and intercultural and interfaith understanding." Further context was provided by the World Programme for Human Rights Education, the second World Decade of Indigenous Peoples and the UNESCO World Report on Cultural Diversity. Presentations and discussions included the relationship between language and culture, changing scenarios for intercultural education, and the linkages between interfaith education and intercultural education. A main aim of the meeting was to receive input from the invited experts for the draft document "UNESCO Guidelines on Intercultural Education" as well as for a database on Intercultural Education, both of which are being developed by the Section.
