Challenges of Global
Government in the 21st
Century
(Irina Bokova, Director General of UNESCO, 2016)
29. • First, openness of mind and out-of-box thinking is crucial.
New ideas must be transformed into norms (Efforts to
teach people about the history of the Holocaust/ program
promoting internet literacy/ help to instill common values
to the youth/ create environments that are conducive to
respectful dialogue)
• Second, the international community must build resilient
societies (Fighting exclusion and fostering inclusion/
Participation of women in all sectors)
• Third, new thinking about peacebuilding. (The world
urgently needs legitimate and effective peace efforts,
before, during, and after conflicts. Preventive measures
are key and must involve the soft power embodied by
UNESCO’s educational and inter-cultural program)
