Background
In recent years, there has been increased awareness of the role of curricula, textbooks, and pedagogical practices in fostering tolerance, understanding, and ultimately in promoting social cohesion and peace. The World Bank sponsored international workshop, "Curricula, Textbooks, and Pedagogical Practice, and the Promotion of Peace and Respect for Diversity," is designed to summarize what is known about the link between education, specifically curricula, textbooks, and pedagogical practice, and promotion of respect for diversity and ultimately peace.

Program
The workshop is scheduled for March 24-26 in Washington, DC. We have invited a number of international scholars in education who focus on diversity and tolerance issues to present papers at the workshop. Donor agencies and experienced World Bank operational staff will also be in attendance.
Presentations will occur on March 24th and on the first half of the day on March 25. There will be follow-up discussions on workshop topics on March 25th and the morning of March 26th.
