Teaching Across Borders: A Guide to Follow-up Activities for APTE Alumni Teachers Year of publication: 2023 Corporate author: Korea R. Ministry of Education | APCEIU IntroductionLaunched in 2012, the Asia-Pacific Teacher Exchange for Global Education (APTE) marks its 10th anniversary this year with a solid record of steady growth. The Programme started with only two countries— Mongolia and the Philippines—and has since added five more: Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, and Thailand. Even the COVID-19 pandemic has not impeded the APTE’s development and instead provided the basis for an online form of educational exchange. Over the past decade, more than 2,000 teachers in Korea and the partner countries participated in the APTE and guided numerous students. This was thanks to the unwavering support of teachers who sought dissemination of the value of Global Citizenship Education, a key element of UNESCO’s educational agenda. We express our deepest appreciation to the teachers and students who took part in the APTE. Human ties going beyond national borders are rare and precious. This project has tied many people around the world, with the teachers and students who participated continuing efforts to further consolidate their ties. To assist and facilitate teachers’ efforts toward follow-up activities after participating in the APTE, the Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding (APCEIU) under the auspices of UNESCO has released these guidelines on follow-up activities. Encouraging all teachers who are determined to continue Global Citizenship Education in the wider world, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the writers and researchers for their dedication toward the publication of this book. We sincerely hope that these guidelines promote follow-up activities for international education exchange and its sustainability 
GCED: Advocacy, Practice and Awareness Handbook for Teachers Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: APCEIU | UNESCO Bangkok Purpose and scope of the handbookThis handbook is the second in a series of GCED advocacy and awarenessraising publications. The first was the joint publication by APCEIU and UNESCO(2021) titled Global citizenship education: a policymaking awareness and advocacy handbook.This latest handbook aims to raise awareness among teachers in the Asia-Pacific region on GCED and to equip teachers with knowledge about GCED, its importance and how to teach it, using good practices, to enhance learners’ competences at the classroom level, for society’s overall benefit.Recognizing that education policies, strategies and practices in the Asia-Pacific region reflect GCED in diverse ways, this handbook also seeks to provide a common regional understanding of what GCED is. Who can benefit from this handbook?The major beneficiaries of this handbook are teachers, educators and learners. Through explaining what GCED is and its outcomes, this handbook will enable teachers and educators to develop a deeper understanding of the benefits that GCED brings to learners. This handbook will also help teachers to themselves cultivate the necessary values, knowledge, skills and attitudes, and make the required behavioural changes, as one must become a responsible global citizen first in order to empower others to do so.As a practical guide, this handbook also supports teachers to integrate GCED into their teaching. The handbook provides examples of good practices, compiled from the Asia-Pacific region, that teachers can easily adapt for use in their classrooms to boost GCED values, knowledge, skills, attitudes and behavioural changes, among learners of all ages. Resources listed in the annex provide teachers with additional support.Policy-makers and school leaders can also benefit from this handbook; it serves as an additional reference to Global citizenship education: a policymaking awareness and advocacy handbook (APCEIU and UNESCO, 2021); to assist them in understanding what support teachers need in delivering GCED. This guide can also provide insights on how to foster resilience and rebuild education systems so that they are better equipped to deal with future crises.
