October 19, 2023
The meeting was part of UC Education's commemorative activities for the 50th anniversary of the coup d'état.
“Educating in Human Rights as a Permanent Challenge: Considerations on the past, present and future” was the name of the academic seminar held at the UC Faculty of Education on October 10.
The meeting, which is framed within the different commemorative activities of Education UC for the 50 years of the coup d'état, had the objective of “reflecting on the human rights education and its challenges for the contemporary world from a local and global perspective in the dimensions of past, present and future,” explained the academic Daniela Luque, organizer of the event.
“We wanted to organize a seminar to reflect more academically from the focus that is in the title: 'educate', which is broader than teaching, and has to do with values, with a world vision for the new generations, and it seemed important to us that reflection,” explained the dean of the Faculty, Alejandro Carrasco.
Three academics presented and discussed the topic throughout the event, a conversation that was moderated by the UC Education teacher. Cecilia Ramirez.
Camila Silva, PhD in History and academic USACH, a specialist in recent history, teacher training, human rights and education with a gender perspective, was in charge of the exhibition “How to teach the recent and not so recent past in XNUMXst century schools?” The presentation analyzed the role of education in building a collective memory that recognizes and repairs human rights violations occurred in the past, based on the notion of “pedagogy of memory”.
Laurent Loubies, psychologist, Master in Educational Psychology and PhD in Education UC, presented “Democratic coexistence in school from the rights approach”, which addressed the principles and values that support a school coexistence based on respect, participation, inclusion and nonviolence, as well as the mechanisms to prevent and resolve conflicts that may arise in the educational field, especially in the field of the new challenges of coexistence in today's school.
The doctor of Philosophy and Assistant Professor of the Institute of Applied Ethics UC, Abel Wajnerman, for its part, held the exhibition “What challenges and possibilities does artificial intelligence generate for education and human rights?”, which raised the discussion on scientific and technological advances that pose new ethical and legal challenges for the protection of human rights, especially those related to the integrity, freedom and privacy of people, and their possible impacts on the education.
