A/HRC/35/6 V. Conclusions 46. The high-level panel discussion provided an opportunity to take stock of human rights education and training efforts and to address related issues five years after the adoption by the General Assembly of the United Nations Declaration on Human Rights Education and Training. 47. The role of human rights education and training in realizing human rights was stressed by all the participants, and educators and trainers should adopt sound educational methodologies that are participatory, learner-centred, action-oriented and take into account cultural contexts. 48. Human rights education and training is an effective strategy for preventing and tackling current global challenges, including violent extremism and conflict, as it proposes solutions in line with human rights standards. The training of media professionals and youth are priorities in this regard. 49. The adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which specifically includes human rights education under target 4.7, provides a momentum for furthering human rights education, in line with the United Nations Declaration on Human Rights Education and Training and other existing global frameworks for action, including the World Programme for Human Rights Education, coordinated by OHCHR, and the UNESCO Global Citizenship Education programme as well as other intergovernmental work relating to instruments, such as the 1974 UNESCO Recommendation concerning Education for International Understanding, Cooperation and Peace and Education relating to Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and international human rights treaties. Synergies in related work at the national and international levels need to be promoted. 50. Experiences shared during the panel discussion highlighted the value added of, and the need for, close collaboration and coordination among national actors, such as government agencies, national human rights institutions and civil society, including non-governmental organizations, academia, the media and the private sector. 51. In her concluding remarks, the moderator stated that the panel discussion highlighted the extraordinary advancement in human rights education and training since the adoption of the United Nations Declaration on Human Rights Education and Training. She expressed appreciation for the commitment conveyed by all participants to strengthening the implementation of human rights education and training at the national, regional and international levels. 11
