Accountability in Education: Meeting our Commitments; Global Education Monitoring Report, Youth Version, 2017/8 Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: UNESCO This Youth Report, based on findings and conclusions from the 2017/8 Global Education Monitoring report, asks how young people are involved in the process of accountability in education. As students, what are we responsible for in our education and how are we held accountable? How can we make sure other actors – like schools, universities and governments – are held accountable for their responsibilities? These are critical questions, because we know that there’s a long way to go before all young people around the world have access to a quality education: absent teachers, overcrowded classrooms, illegitimate diplomas, unregulated private schools and truancy are all issues that education systems are struggling to overcome.It’s sometimes tempting to say that these problems aren’t ours to fix, that the responsibility lies with the government or with an older generation. But this simply isn’t true: education is a shared responsibility, and young people have an important role to play. In this Report, you’ll hear the stories of young people around the world who have stood up for the right to education in their communities and who have been integral in triggering change. You’ll also read about how you can become involved in our campaign to make sure governments can be held to account for education. This means making sure that citizens can take their governments to court if they are not meeting their education responsibilities. From creating video clips to holding awareness-raising events, there is a range of ways to make your voice heard. Your involvement is integral in making sure the world is on the right path to meeting our education goals. Rendir cuentas en el ámbito de la educación: cumplir nuestros compromisos; Informe de seguimiento de la educación en el mundo, versión para los jóvenes, 2017/8 Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: UNESCO Esta versión para los jóvenes del Informe GEM, que se basa en los resultados y conclusiones del Informe de Seguimiento de la Educación en el Mundo 2017-2018, se cuestiona acerca de la manera en que los jóvenes participan en el proceso de rendición de cuentas en la educación. En tanto que alumnos, ¿de qué somos responsables en nuestra educación, y cómo se nos responsabiliza? ¿Cómo podemos asegurarnos de que se responsabilice a otros interesados, como las escuelas, las universidades y los gobiernos, por lo que deben hacer? Estas son preguntas fundamentales, porque sabemos que quedan aún muchas cuestiones por resolver para que todos los jóvenes del mundo tengan acceso a una educación de calidad. El ausentismo de los docentes, el hacinamiento de las aulas, los diplomas ilícitos, las escuelas privadas no reglamentadas y el ausentismo de los alumnos son cuestiones que los sistemas educativos se esfuerzan por superar.Sería fácil afirmar que la resolución de esos problemas no está en nuestras manos, y que la responsabilidad es del gobierno o de una generación anterior. Pero esto simplemente no es cierto; la educación es una responsabilidad compartida, y los jóvenes desempeñan en ese sentido un papel importante. En este informe conocerá las historias de jóvenes de todo el mundo que han defendido el derecho a la educación en sus comunidades, y que han contribuido a motivar un cambio. También leerá sobre las maneras en que podrá participar en nuestra campaña para garantizar que se responsabilice a los gobiernos por la educación. Esto significa asegurarse de que los ciudadanos puedan llevar a sus gobiernos ante la justicia si no cumplen sus responsabilidades en materia de educación. Desde grabar vídeos hasta organizar actos de sensibilización, son muchas las maneras de hacerse escuchar. Su participación es indispensable para garantizar que el mundo transite por la vía correcta para alcanzar nuestros objetivos sobre la educación. 
Europe and North America Regional Workshop on the Global Action Programme on Education for Sustainable Development and Cities Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: UNESCO UNESCO promotes Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) through the Global Action Programme (GAP), the official follow-up to the UN Decade of ESD. The Europe and North America region was the first to officially adopt a regional strategy for the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD, 2005-2014), which seeks to promote a better quality of life for populations and human settlements. Learning to live in a sustainable way and securing people’s involvement and participation in community and urban life are key factors in ensuring sustainable economic, social and environmental development. It is in this context that UNESCO, the UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities, with its secretariat in the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) in Hamburg, and the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, organized the regional workshop for Europe and North America on the role of cities in accelerating sustainable solutions at local level through education. More than 50 experts and city representatives from Europe and North America participated in the regional workshop in Hamburg, Germany, from 12 to 14 December 2016. The workshop examined how education and learning beyond the formal system can be used to support the implementation of the five Ps (Planet, People, Peace, Prosperity and Partnership) of the 2030 Agenda to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Experts shared their views on ESD, with cities providing insight into their good practices and enriching discussions on the challenges of promoting the various SDGs through education and lifelong learning at city level. These discussions helped to promote awareness on integrating ESD in their cities’ development and education agendas. Programme d'action global pour l'Education en vue du développement durable et les villes: atelier régional pour l'Europe et l'Amérique du Nord Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: UNESCO L’UNESCO oeuvre pour l’éducation au développement durable (EDD) dans le cadre du Programme d’action global, suivi officiel de la Décennie des Nations Unies pour l'éducation au service du développement durable (DEDD, 2005-2014). La région Europe et Amérique du Nord a été la première à adopter formellement une stratégie régionale pour la Décennie visant à promouvoir une meilleure qualité de vie pour les populations et les établissements humains. L’apprentissage d’un mode de vie durable et la participation des individus à la vie de la communauté et de la ville sont des conditions essentielles d’un développement économique, social et environnemental durable. C’est dans ce contexte que l’UNESCO, son Réseau mondial des villes apprenantes, dont le secrétariat est hébergé par l’Institut de l'UNESCO pour l'apprentissage tout au long de la vie (UIL) à Hambourg, et les autorités de la Ville libre et hanséatique de Hambourg ont organisé l’atelier régional pour l’Europe et l’Amérique du Nord sur le rôle des villes dans la mise en place accélérée de solutions locales durables, par l’éducation. Plus de 50 experts et représentants de villes d’Europe et d’Amérique du Nord ont participé à l’atelier régional, qui s’est tenu à Hambourg (Allemagne) du 12 au 14 décembre 2016. Ils ont réfléchi à la manière de s’appuyer sur l’éducation et l’apprentissage, au-delà du cadre formel, pour faciliter la mise en oeuvre des « cinq P » – planète, population (humanité), paix, prospérité et partenariats – du Programme 2030 et réaliser les Objectifs de développement durable (ODD). Les experts ont partagé leurs vues sur l’EDD, et les municipalités ont présenté leurs bonnes pratiques et enrichi les discussions sur les défis que représentait la promotion des différents ODD par l’éducation et l’apprentissage tout au long de la vie, au niveau des villes. Ces discussions ont aidé les villes à mieux comprendre comment intégrer l’EDD dans leurs programmes de développement et d’éducation.

Reporting on Migrants and Refugees: Handbook for Journalism Educators Year of publication: 2023 Corporate author: UNESCO Covering migration: A challenge for journalism educators worldwide This handbook enables journalism educators worldwide to address one of the challenges of the 21st century – migration and refugee matters. In a set of thirteen modules, journalism educators are provided with a comprehensive curriculum. It covers all aspects needed to train analysis, research, presentation, marketing, and ethics of migration coverage.The handbook is unique as it comprises results of communication studies as well as political and social sciences. It has been developed by an international and cross-cultural group of media researchers, media educators and media practitioners.Journalism educators will be enabled to jump-start a new curriculum. Journalism students will learn that matters of migration and forced displacement are concerned about human beings and therefore require knowledge and awareness of accurate facts, reliable sources, ethical reporting and good practices. Experienced journalists will benefit from using the volume as a self-learning tool, and media development organizations may adapt the curriculum to their training plans.The project will impact a more comprehensive coverage of migrant and refugee matters in countries of origin, transit and destination, and a more balanced and informed public debate across countries and cultures. 
Global Education Monitoring Report, 2016: Planet: Education for Environmental Sustainability and Green Growth Year of publication: 2016 Corporate author: UNESCO PLANET: Education for environmental sustainability and green growth, a publication taken from the full 2016 Global Education Monitoring Report, explores the knowledge and skills needed for sustainable and inclusive economic growth that does not damage our planet.This publication demonstrates how education can help people understand and respond to environmental issues and climate change. Environmental education can increase green knowledge and build sustainability practices. The publication warns that while education contributes to economic growth, education systems must be careful not to encourage unsustainable lifestyles and all learners must acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development.It also argues that we must continue to learn throughout our lives in order to make production and consumption sustainable, and to provide green skills for green industries. Creating green industries relies on high-skill workers with specific training, yet by 2020 there could be 40 million too few workers with tertiary education relative to demand. Higher education and research should also be oriented towards green innovation and growth; innovation depends on cooperation in higher education and investment in research and development to transform production in vast swaths of the economy.It also recognises that education must change in order to keep up with the changing face of work. Green and transferable skills should be taught in both school and the workplace. The greening of industries requires not only the production of more high-skill workers, but the continued training and education for low and medium skill workers, often on the job. “To ensure the Sustainable Development Goals are implemented, everyone involved needs to think, to work, to organise, to communicate and to report in ways that are completely different from what has been done up till now. Education truly is key to a wide appreciation not just of the SDGs but the new ways of thinking and working that are going to be necessary to fulfil them. So the challenge to all of us is to re-learn, and that does not just apply to educators, but it applies to all of us.”
