Common Patterns of Religious [Islamic] Revival in Central Asia and Challenges...Galym Zhussipbek
Common patterns of religious revival pose serious challenges to developing inclusive society and human rights in Central Asian countries. Overall, it can be argued that religious [Islamic] revival in Central Asian countries has come to the point when it can be analyzed under the prism, whether it impedes the development of inclusive society and human rights or not.
It is most urgent to get rid of pettiness, superficiality, self righteousness and fanaticism and accept OUR and forgive OTHERS’ erroneous viewpoints, strategies and actions and immerse in a vision and mission of blossoming of one and all.

Systems science shows that the real significance of diversity lies not in the number of different entities and their differences, but how they interact. Diversity is the dynamic driver for greater systems complexity, integration and efficiency. In a coral reef ecosystem or tropical rainforest, it is the increasing cooperation among the species expressed in mutual assistance and symbioses that make their high levels of productivity possible. Similarly, human diversity unaccompanied by values of justice, cooperation and reciprocity can produce the negative reactions we see today. Recent research has suggested that higher levels of ethnically-diverse civilization are catalysed by ethical values from religion, building trust and providing the energy for new levels of organization and efficiency. Businesses and communities can follow this example. Recent guidance from the international Bahá’í administrative body invites us to explore what a new economic paradigm might look like in practice.

2015. What education do we need for the 21st century? What is the purpose of education
in the current context of societal transformation? How should learning be organized?
These questions inspired the ideas presented in this publication.
In the spirit of two landmark UNESCO publications, Learning to Be: The world of
education today and tomorrow (1972), the ‘Faure Report’, and Learning: The treasure
within (1996), the ‘Delors Report,’ I am convinced we need to think big again today

One Nation, Many Beliefs: Talking About Religion in a Diverse DemocracyEveryday Democracy
The discussion guide, One Nation, Many Beliefs, is designed to strengthen relationships and understanding across religious and philosophical perspectives as a foundation for talking about inter-group tensions and the role of religion in public decision making.
This discussion guide takes a look at when, where, and what young people learn. How do we create the kind of community where all young people will have a chance to learn – in and beyond the school day?
2. • 21 September 2004
HE José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, President of the
Government of Spain, called for the creation of the
Alliance of Civilizations during the 59th Session of the
General Assembly of the United Nations, New York,
USA.
• 13 June 2005
Upon consultations with the Spanish Government, HE
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Prime Minister of Turkey, joined
HE José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero as the co-sponsor of
the Alliance of Civilizations initiative.
3. “ What is responsible leadership? Regardless of the context
in which we think of it, the level or any sectoral perspective,
“responsible leadership is geared toward the concerns of
others and asks for what and to whom leaders are
responsible”, as an author puts it. Now of course the key
questions are who “the others” are and what responding to
their concerns entails.
In placing the issue of “Responsible Leadership in diversity
and dialogue” at the core of the Vienna Forum, our take is
that this topic matters in the most relevant way to the
Alliance of Civilizations’ vision and mission.
4. “ Youth, political leaders, lawmakers, but
also business people, philanthropies,
religious leaders, researchers or simply
you, as a citizen, are all invited to
contribute with your experience, your
particular insight, your mindset, your
questions, and your concrete proposals
to address this topical and most
challenging question.
Jorge Sampaio, High
Representative of
the United Nations
Alliance of
Civilizations
5. “ In Vienna, we want to achieve a deeper, more insightful
understanding of what responsible leadership means from
the perspective of the Alliance of Civilizations, what it
represents in its main fields of action - education, youth,
media and migration - how leadership is about change and
transformation and how the principles, values and vision of
the Alliance can help shape a leadership focused on caring
concern for others or a high level of other-regard. I strongly
belief that Vienna can make a difference if you join in! “
7. Themes
• Promotion, protection and full enjoyment of the
right to religious freedom in a context of religious
pluralism which consists not only of greater
diversity, but also of perceptions of that diversity
and new patterns of interaction among religious
groups;
• Media pluralism and diversity of media content
and their contribution to fostering public debate,
democracy and awareness of diverse opinions;
• Shaping a new narrative for migration, integration
and mobility in the global economy.
8. Education About Religions and Beliefs
The education about religions and beliefs community
includes a network of academic and NGO partners as well
as organizations active in the field of education about
religions and beliefs, intercultural education, and interfaith
harmony.
http://erb.unaoc.org
9. The Education about Religions and Beliefs
program consists of three components.
• A web-based portal for resources on education
about religions and beliefs including civic
education, ethics education, and tolerance
education
• A platform for partners to present research and
findings from theory and practice
• A network to promote the positive role of religion
and interfaith harmony
10. At this stage, our clearinghouse focuses primarily on
school education for the following reasons:
a) It is the stage that is the most important in forming
educated opinions;
b) It is the stage where public policy can have the most
influence, because in many states public funding of
education offers the opportunity to have concomitant
curricular influence; and
c) It is probably the area where resources are available
but scattered across different regions and therefore the
UNAOC mechanism can be particularly useful.
11. Intrinsic to the goal of educating students about religions
and beliefs are the instruments of civic and peace
education, tolerance and ethics education, as well as global
and cross-cultural education. These mechanisms also offer
a different way of advancing the ultimate pillar of education
to "live together," especially in the context of some
societies where teaching about religions themselves may
raise issues of "church-and-state separation."
12. In defining "religion" and "belief," this site follows the
OSCE's ODIHR Toledo Guiding Principles on Teaching
about Religions and Beliefs (2007) on this point, which
takes a broad view of "religion" and "belief," encompassing
not only "traditional and long-established religions" of
today's world as well as "less well known and less well
understood systems of belief." It also includes "non-
religious systems of belief," based on earlier United Nations
Human Rights documents (pp. 30-31).
