Éducation pour la paix: la planification de la réforme du curriculum; lignes directrices pour l'intégration d'un programme d'éducation pour la paix dans les plans et politiques du secteur éducatif Year of publication: 2015 Corporate author: UNESCO | UNESCO International Bureau of Education (IBE) | UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP) Cette trousse de ressources et de développement des capacités a été élaborée sur la base de la conviction que, dans le cadre d'un effort plus large social, économique et politique, l'éducation peut jouer un rôle important dans les efforts de consolidation de la paix d'un pays. Son but est d'aider les États membres à intégrer ou renforcer les programmes d'éducation à la paix dans leurs systèmes nationaux d'éducation pour promouvoir la paix et prévenir les conflits futurs. UNESCO, le BIE, et l'IIPE ont développé cette ressource dans le cadre du projet intersectoriel de l'UNESCO, Promouvoir une culture de la paix et de la non-violence en Afrique par l'éducation pour la paix et la prévention des conflits. Le paquet contient des directives techniques et des modules de formation de renforcement des capacités sur la politique, la conception des programmes et de la planification des programmes pour intégrer la paix et de prévention des conflits dans tous les aspects du système d'éducation. Il est destiné aux concepteurs de programmes et les planificateurs de l'Afrique. Le développement de l'emballage a reçu le soutien du Bureau d'Addis-Abeba de l'UNESCO, qui a participé à l'essai des matériaux à Addis-Abeba (Ethiopie) et Yaoundé (Cameroun).Cette ressource sera en outre aider à faire en sorte que les programmes, les ressources d'enseignement et d'apprentissage et la formation des enseignants sont en ligne avec la vision post-2015 de l'éducation pour le développement holistique. Cette vision reconceptualise l' éducation en termes de citoyenneté et de responsabilité globale en mettant l'accent sur l'inclusion et la cohésion sociale qui est mondiale dans l'orientation. À cet égard, Éducation à la Citoyenneté Mondiale (ECM) vise à habiliter les apprenants des connaissances, des compétences, des valeurs et des attitudes qui sont nécessaires pour forger des sociétés plus justes et inclusives, capables de résoudre les conflits existants et nouveaux défis mondiaux. 
Curriculum in the Education 2030 Agenda: Latin America and the Caribbean Year of publication: 2017 Author: Renato Opertti Corporate author: UNESCO International Bureau of Education (IBE) “Curriculum in the Education 2030 Agenda: Latin America and the Caribbean”1 discusses the importance of rethinking the curriculum in light of a transformational, humanistic and holistic vision of education. The Education 2030 Agenda, which emerged from the World Education Forum (WEF) 2015 held in Incheon, Republic of Korea, positions curriculum as a powerful education policy tool leading the way to effective, relevant and sustainable learning opportunities, processes and outcomes. Curricula have a positive effect as levers for the sustainable, inclusive, fair and cohesive development of a country. They reflect and help to construct the type of society envisioned. The article provides recommendations to strengthen the positioning of curriculum toward an inclusive and equitable quality education in Latin America and the Caribbean. It therefore addresses the following questions: 1) How is curriculum currently conceived?; 2) What role does it play in the reforms aimed at improving equity and quality of the learning processes?; 3) What are the main regional challenges in relation to curriculum development?; and 4) How could countries align their curricula with their development needs?

Citizenship education in Latin America: Priorities of School Curricula Year of publication: 2014 Author: Cristián Cox | Martín Bascopé | Juan Carlos Castillo | Daniel Miranda | Macarena Bonhomme Corporate author: UNESCO International Bureau of Education (IBE) This work focuses on the curricula of six Latin American countries – Colombia, Chile, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Mexico and Paraguay – which at the close of the past decade agreed to be part of the project Regional System of Evaluation and Development of Citizenship Competencies (SREDECC). With the support of the Inter-American Development Bank, SREDECC developed the Latin American module of the International Civic and Citizenship Study (ICCS- 2009) undertaken by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), in addition to encouraging the participation of the countries in that study (Cox 2010; Schulz, Ainley, Friedman and Lietz 2011). This document comprises four parts. The first section takes stock of the state of democratic belief in the region, drawing upon the most significant opinion studies of the past decade, so as to offer broader meaning bases for curriculum analysis and, more generally, for educational work in the field of citizenship. The second section describes the organizational (or structural) characteristics of the curricula of the six countries and presents a framework of categories for their comparative analysis. The subsequent section describes and analyses the contents of the six curricula examined and how they deal with the values, institutions and citizenship relations in their civic (political) and civil (coexistence) dimensions. On the basis of the most significant findings, the closing section includes some reflections regarding curriculum development with regard to citizenship. Educación Ciudadana en América Latina: Prioridades de los Currículos Escolares Year of publication: 2014 Author: Cristián Cox | Martín Bascopé | Juan Carlos Castillo | Daniel Miranda | Macarena Bonhomme Corporate author: UNESCO International Bureau of Education (IBE) El documento se organiza en cuatro partes. En la primera se da cuenta del estado de la creencia democrática en la región, recurriendo a evidencia de los estudios de opinión más importantes de la última década, de modo de ofrecer contexto y bases de significado amplios al análisis curricular, así como, más en general, al trabajo educativo en el área de ciudadanía.

La sección siguiente describe y analiza los contenidos de los seis currículos examinados y su tratamiento de los valores, las instituciones y las relaciones de ciudadanía, en su dimensión cívica (política) y civil (convivencia). A partir de los hallazgos más importantes, la sección de cierre ofrece unas reflexiones orientadas al desarrollo curricular en el área. 
Global Citizenship Concepts in Curriculum Guidelines of 10 Countries: Comparative Analysis Year of publication: 2017 Author: Cristián Cox Corporate author: UNESCO International Bureau of Education (IBE) This paper reports on a study of concepts associated with the new construct of global citizenship education (GCED) in school curricula. We compared the national school curricula of ten countries with markedly different cultures and levels of development across different regions of the world (Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and Southeast Asia) on the presence of concepts associated with GCED. The curricula of both primary and secondary education, in the areas of history and social sciences, and civics and moral education, were compared using a set of categories constructed for this study and derived from UNESCO’s definitions of GCED as well as from the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement’s (IEA) international assessment studies of civic and citizenship education. Patterns of presence/absence of GCED and related content were identified. The main finding is that only two of the ten countries’ curricula consistently included global citizenship concepts. At the same time, all ten countries, to the extent that the analysis distinguished, included content related to knowledge, values and attitudes that have the world or humanity as referent. 
The Conceptualization of competencies related to sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles Year of publication: 2017 Author: Irmeli Halinen Corporate author: UNESCO International Bureau of Education (IBE) The education system of Finland has been developed soundly and steadily during the past 40 years. The guiding principles have been equity and equality in education as going hand in hand with the view to promote every individual’s life-long learning. Following these principles, it has strengthened the sustainability of the system itself. This report describes the role of sustainable development and the importance of learning a sustainable lifestyle in Finnish basic (primary and lower secondary) education. It highlights the goals, values, tasks, and the conceptualization of the competencies related to sustainability in the 2014 National Core Curriculum for basic education. In addition, it describes the sustainable nature of the curriculum reform process itself. The report examines the role and the contribution of various school subjects and key aspects, such as the school culture and the learning environment, in creating a strong knowledge base on which to build the values, attitudes, skills and the will needed for sustainable lifestyle, and in promoting sustainable ways of living. The report concludes with lessons drawn from the Finnish way of enhancing sustainability in education. 
Ten Clues for Rethinking Curriculum Year of publication: 2021 Author: Renato Opertti Corporate author: UNESCO International Bureau of Education (IBE) This discussion document highlights the urgency of rethinking curriculum in light of reinforcing the commitments of the Education 2030 Agenda on learning, disruptive systemic worldwide societal changes, and crucially, the profound transformation of education and education systems post Covid-19. Curriculum is always at the core of giving effect to social aspirations and ideals on the why, what, how, when, and where of teaching, learning, and assessing. We propose a series of 10 interconnected clues to deepen on the systemic and holistic understanding of curriculum as contributing to lay foundations for a better, sustainable and fair future. These clues are: understanding the new generations; combatting factors related to vulnerability; reinforcing understanding between school and families; deepening glo-local education; enhancing the focus on the person; promoting synergies among values; valuing diversity; focusing on education that enhances freedom; moving toward hybrid modes of education; and inspiring affection for educators.
