It will help facilitate knowledge-sharing and intercultural dialogue.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We must better recognize and remember the millions of African men, women and children who were captured, deported to the Americas and then exploited to supply Europe with sugar, coffee, indigo and cotton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Audrey Azoulay UNESCO&#8217;s Director-General on Monday at an event honouring the victims of slavery in New York.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As UNESCO celebrates the thirtieth anniversary of its \u2018Routes of Enslaved Peoples\u2019 programme, created in 1994 on the initiative of Benin and Haiti, Audrey Azoulay seeks to create fresh impetus for the essential work of remembering and educating future generations about&nbsp;<em>\u2018one of the greatest crimes in the history of humanity, which still affects entire communities\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the support of Brazil, Colombia, Congo, France, Jamaica and the Netherlands, UNESCO will set up a twinning network for sites and museums of memory of slavery in Africa, the Americas and Europe. It will create opportunities for interaction and cooperation between people on either side of the Atlantic, in the form of festivals and events, school exchanges and virtual visits, and the sharing of best practice between professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By bringing together these historically linked sites, UNESCO hopes to raise their profile among the general public, and promote a better global understanding of the history of slavery, particularly among younger generations. For the same reason, Audrey Azoulay has called on governments&nbsp;<em>\u2018to give greater prominence to the history of slavery in school textbooks and curricula\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>An alliance of university chairs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To continue to advance knowledge of these historical events and their impact on contemporary societies, UNESCO will also be setting up an alliance of university chairs. It will bring together researchers from the three continents to focus on priority issues such as the fight against racism and discrimination against people of African descent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the 1960s, UNESCO has pioneered the search for a new narrative on the African continent and the suffering associated with slavery, writing the&nbsp;<em>General History of Africa<\/em>. This multi-volume work, which involved more than 230 historians, continues to be a benchmark in scientific research.
