UNESCO's response to violent extremism is based on the following principles:

• Education: Education is essential for preventing violent extremism. It can help to build resilience to extremist ideologies, promote critical thinking, and foster empathy and understanding.
• Culture: Culture can be a powerful force for preventing violent extremism. It can promote tolerance, respect, and dialogue, and it can help to build bridges between different communities.
• Media: The media can play a role in both preventing and promoting violent extremism. It can be used to spread hateful propaganda, but it can also be used to promote tolerance and understanding.
• Dialogue: Dialogue is essential for building trust and understanding between different communities. It can help to break down barriers, reduce prejudice, and promote cooperation.

UNESCO's strategy to address violent extremism includes a wide range of activities, including:

• Developing and implementing educational programs that promote tolerance and understanding.
