STEM Education for Girls and Women: Breaking Barriers and Exploring Gender Inequality in Asia Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: UNESCO Bangkok Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields are considered catalysts for the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Yet, particularly for STEM fields, girls and women, for a multitude of social, cultural and psychological reasons, engage and participate at a lower rate than boys and men. This research collection aims to highlight the contextual barriers that girls and women face in STEM education and careers and offer concrete examples of interventions that successfully encourage participation of girls and women in STEM. These eight case studies from across Asia explore both the barriers and the achievements in SDG 4 and SDG 5, and give context-specific analysis of different aspects of gender disparities in the respective countries.

Bringing Living Heritage to the Classroom in Asia-Pacific: A Resource Kit Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: UNESCO Bangkok | APCEIU | International Information and Networking Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia-Pacific Region (ICHCAP) Integrating living heritage in school teaching and learning can enhance education quality, enliven the experiences of students and teachers, and contribute to keeping this heritage alive for current and future generations. In addition, as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has also demonstrated, living heritage can play an important role in ensuring the well-being and resilience of communities. UNESCO encourages countries to safeguard living heritage through formal and non-formal education. From the end of 2019 to early 2022, UNESCO has been working with partners to implement a pilot project “Teaching and Learning with Living Heritage in Schools” in six countries in Asia and the Pacific - including Cambodia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Nepal, Republic of Korea and Thailand. Over 1900 students from 21 schools had the opportunity to participate in these innovative classes. Throughout the process, 86 teachers, with more than two thirds being women, have developed and tested 101 lesson plans and activities. This Resource Kit provides step-by-step guidance and key resources on why and how to integrate living heritage in lessons and extracurricular activities in schools. Whoever you are – policy-maker, school director, teacher, student, parent, heritage practitioner – you have a vital role to play in this process. Иcпользование живого наследия в учебном процессе в азиатскотихоокеанском регионе: комплект методических материалов Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: UNESCO Bangkok | APCEIU | International Information and Networking Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia-Pacific Region (ICHCAP) Использование концепций и практики живого наследия в учебном процессе может повысить качество образования, способствовать оживлению учебного процесса для учащихся и учителей и способствовать сохранению такого наследия для нынешнего и будущих поколений. Кроме того, как показала продолжающаяся пандемия COVID-19, живое наследие может играть важную роль в обеспечении благополучия и жизнеспособности человеческих сообществ. ЮНЕСКО призывает страны сохранять живое наследие посредством формального и неформального образования. С конца 2019 по начало 2022 года ЮНЕСКО совместно со своими партнёрами реализовала пилотный проект «Преподавание и обучение с использованием элементов живого наследия в школах» в шести странах Азиатско-Тихоокеанского региона — Камбодже, Казахстане, Кыргызстане, Непале, Южной Корее и Таиланде. Более 1900 учащихся из 21 школы получили возможность принять участие в этих инновационных занятиях. В ходе этого проекта 86 учителей, из которых более двух третей — женщины, разработали и опробовали 101 план уроков и мероприятий. Данный комплект методических материалов содержит пошаговое руководство и основные сведения, позволяющие понять важность и научиться интегрировать концепции и практику живого наследия в учебные и внеклассные мероприятия в школах. Кем бы вы ни были — сотрудником директивных органов, директором школы, учителем, учеником, родителем, практикующим носителем живого наследия — вам предстоит сыграть жизненно важную роль в этом процессе.
