\n

The outcomes of the work of the UNESCO Chair have been to promote the protection of human rights, with emphasis on the right to education, and the promotion of human rights education, intercultural policy, intercultural dialogue and intercultural education at all levels of our society (academic, civil, etc.) The UNESCO Chairholder has established a network between the UNESCO Chair and the museums in Thessaloniki and cooperate with the Municipality of Thessaloniki and the Direction of Secondary Education in order to promote the goals of UNESCO. The outcomes include a remarkable contribution to research, publications, raising awareness and distribution of information concerning the protection of human rights and cultural diversity in order to achieve an active citizenship, in other words, a democratic citizenship. Another aim for the UNESCO Chair is to establish cooperation with NGO\u2019s, and particularly with those ones involved with the protection of vulnerable groups, such as immigrants, refugees etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

The UNESCO Chair progressively appeals to more and more students every year who wish to be involved in various aspects of the work of the Chair as internees. At the same time Professor P. Naskou-Perraki, the UNESCO Chairholder and a well-established academic, is invited to numerous events and conferences to lecture on human rights and the promotion of intercultural dialogue, and has contributed significantly to nurturing and establishing networks and links across academic disciplines as well as other social, public policy and civil society areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

The work of the UNESCO Chair has contributed significantly to raising awareness on the protection of human rights; this is evidenced in the collaboration with schools of primary and secondary education; receiving funding from public bodies on UNESCO Chair\u2019s publications; as well as in publishing leaflets and books which are distributed for free to schools and University students. For example, following a conference with representatives of primary education, UNESCO Chair undertook the preparation of a leaflet on the Rules of Behaviour towards people with disabilities. The publication costs for this leaflet were initially provided by the General Secretariat of Press. The leaflet was distributed to schools and hospitals. Currently, the UNESCO Chair is in talks with the Greek-German School of Athens with regard to the reproduction of this leaflet. UNESCO Chair intends to distribute electronically this leaflet on the rules of behaviour towards people with disabilities in order to reach out to the general public and disseminate information on the protection of the rights of people with disabilities. UNESCO Chair intends to upload this leaflet on the website of UNESCO Chair so that is can be accessible to any member of the society. The value of this leaflet is further attested by the fact that the Library of the Ministry of Press has requested for the electronic version of this leaflet in order to upload it on the website of the Library.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, the UNESCO Chair co-edited with the Hellenic College of Thessaloniki in 2012 a book on the Obligations and the rights of the child at school<\/i> which is also distributed for free. Moreover, in 2012, the Director of the UNESCO Chair, Professor P. Naskou-Perraki, published a book which is a compilation of the most international legal instruments on the protection of human rights and which is distributed for free to any of the University students in Greece.  <\/span><\/p>\n

The UNESCO Chairholder, Professor P. Naskou-Perraki, and the scientific collaborator to the UNESCO Chair, Dr. K. Chainoglou, have been invited to teach in English at postgraduate level the module of \u201cUNESCO and Culture\u201d which is part of the MA in Law, Arts and Economy of the International Hellenic University (October 2012-January 2013).

The UNESCO Chair has already established co-operation with the other two UNESCO Chairs of the Aristotle University. And the UNESCO Chair supports the work of UNESCO Youth Club of Thessaloniki; members of the UNESCO Youth Club participate in the activities of the UNESCO Chair as internees or on a voluntary basis. Additionally, the UNESCO Chair participates in information awareness events organised by the UNESCO Youth Club.<\/span><\/p>\n

The UNESCO Chair is in co-operation with groups of volunteers from the civil society and will embark on the organization of events in order to celebrate the 2013 Year of Water Cooperation and promote cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue.<\/span><\/p>\n

The promotion of human rights and the need for intercultural dialogue is necessary to the achievement of the goals of UNESCO. It may seem endless but it is the most rewarding and effective process. The commitment of the UNESCO Chair in studying, analyzing, distributing information and raising awareness on intercultural policy for a democratic citizenship (a concept that describes best the term \u201cactive citizenship\u201d) contributes to the goals of the UNESCO. The UNESCO Chair recognizes that raising awareness on human rights education is a means to implementing successfully intercultural policies. For this reason, the UNESCO Chair aims in broadening the existing networks that have been established under the auspices of the UNESCO Chair and will continue to work towards promoting human rights for a democratic citizenship by reaching out to policy-makers, professionals (i.e. educators, teachers, lawyers, etc.) and civil society.<\/span><\/p>\n

The UNESCO Chair is collecting international instruments and information concerning intercultural policies and intercultural dialogue within the context of international and regional organizations. Furthermore, the UNESCO Chair is co-operating with the Municipality of Thessaloniki and other stakeholders to promote the goals of UNESCO. A number of events are organized on the World Days that celebrate human rights of vulnerable groups, i.e. children, women, people with disabilities, refugees, immigrants, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, a number of books are in preparation:<\/span><\/p>\n

1) Professor P. Naskou-Perraki is preparing an updated version of the International Mechanisms protecting human rights: Texts, Comments and case law which was originally  published in the series of the UNESCO Chair Publications of the University of Macedonia. The book benefits from a compilation of fundamental international legal instruments on human rights and their protection mechanisms, supplemented by schematic tables and case law [in English].<\/span><\/p>\n

2) Professor P. Naskou-Perraki and a group of young academics under her supervision are preparing a book on the right to education [in Greek]. The purpose of this book is to present how the right to education is implemented at global, regional and national level, especially with regard to vulnerable groups, i.e. immigrants, refugees, repatriated Greeks, and Roma. The book benefits from intriguing analysis of various dimensions of the right to education.<\/span><\/p>\n

3) A book on the protection of women\u2019s rights is also underway. The UNESCO Chair is currently liaising with UNESCO on the content of the book as well as the publisher\u2019s house.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
