A/HRC/19/77 and sports associations cooperating with programmes aimed at eradicating racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance in sports. C. Role of education in combating racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance 121. The Working Group reiterates the necessity of taking concrete actions for the effective implementation of provisions of the DDPA relevant to the role of education in combating racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, in particular paragraphs 121-124, 129 and 132 of the Durban Programme of Action. 122. The Working Group emphasizes the importance of the DDPA as an instrumental source for education and strongly encourages Member States and other relevant stakeholders to consider the DDPA and the Outcome Documents of the Durban Review Conference in the elaboration of educational programmes and plans. 123. The Working Group recognizes the important role of education in combating racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, in particular in promoting the principles of tolerance and respect to ethnic, religious and cultural diversity and preventing the proliferation of extremist racist and xenophobic movements and propaganda, especially among the youth. 124. The Working Group commends the important role played by UNESCO in relation to education against racism, in particular the Slave Route Project and its theme of “Breaking the silence”, which immensely contribute to education on the history of slavery and trans-Atlantic, Mediterranean and Indian Ocean slave trades. 125. The Working Group further encourages OHCHR to collaborate with UNESCO and other relevant stakeholders to design and issue age-appropriate educational materials aimed at increasing awareness of the DDPA and the OD of the Durban Review Conference for the use of children and young people and also to disseminate the aforementioned materials widely, including online. 126. The Working Group calls on States to ensure equality and non-discrimination with regard to access to education, training and career development in education. The Working Group urges States to take all appropriate measures to eliminate obstacles limiting access to good quality education and further urges States to commit resources to eliminate, where they exist, inequalities in educational outcomes. 127. The Working Group also encourages States and relevant stakeholders to ensure that women and girls can fully exercise their human rights in all spheres of public life in line with relevant provisions of the DDPA and the Outcome Document of the Durban Review Conference and thereby promote their access to education and training at all levels. 128. The Working Group notes the positive contribution made by the new information and communications technologies, including Internet as educational tools, in combating racism through rapid and wide-reaching communication and encourages all stakeholders, including Governments and OHCHR to use these technologies to combat manifestations of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance in cyber space. 129. The Working Group invites stakeholders, in particular Governments, to ensure cross-cultural interactions and genuine dialogue within educational initiatives as promoted by the Alliance of Civilizations launched by the SG of the UN in 2006.
