Projects to Encounter Genocide in Iraq pre-&post-ISIS Prof. Dr. Salah Al-Jabery

Abstract: In Iraq, we tried to educate the bases of reconciliation like peace and justice at primary, secondary and higher Education levels, and we had examples of ways that train students to accept the other, sympathize with him, and achieve community reconciliation, and some training and educational models were applied to university students, primary and secondary students. One of the practical models applied is the Peace-building Education and Conflict Transformation Project for university students and the granting of the Professional Diploma in Peace to prepare learners who are able to teach peace and disseminate it in social settings.

The second model is the education of reconciliation through global citizenship, and it is the model that educational institutions in Iraq should implement. Young people constitute a large proportion of the total population of Iraq, and educational institutions are the place that attracts them and facilitates the dissemination of ideas that establish national reconciliation, such as recognition of the other, tolerance with him, peaceful coexistence, renunciation of violence and the promotion of peace, and paving the way for the transition to true democracy. These are the values of global citizenship through which national reconciliation is taught to young people in schools and universities.

The third model is the educational model in which virtual reality technology was used (no Body's listening). Designed in Britain and applied in Iraq by the International Organization for Migration, Sulaymani Polytechnic University, Yazda Organization and UNESCO Chair for Genocide Prevention Studies in Islamic World at The University of Baghdad. This educational model aims to achieve empathy for the victims of genocide and recognition of their rights in order to reintegrate them into society.
