Aside from the days to commemorate the Holocaust and the “Day of Coexistence in Cultural Diversity”, as well as the Ministry of Education’s programme to train trainers in ethics and good citizenship, the Special Rapporteur recommends that the authorities should draw up and adopt a prevention strategy intended to promote and develop a human rights culture founded in particular on the creation of awareness of the values of tolerance and non-discrimination in the field of religion and belief. In this context, there is a need for the State to review school textbooks and curricula and the training of trainers and teachers in primary and secondary schools. Particularly recommended is action to ensure the dissemination through education of a balanced representation of the self and other people. In that regard, special attention should be paid to minorities in the area of religion or belief, women, indigenous peoples and immigrants. Other issues 165.
