evaluation processes carried out during the first two phases and any related national
implementation plan(s). Section III below offers guidance on how to undertake such an

efforts, for instance efforts to promote respect for diversity, a culture of peace and nonviolence, civic education and global and citizenship education;
(h)
High-quality and sustained human rights education and training through the
