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.

Survey on Privacy in Media and Information Literacy with Youth Perspectives Year of publication: 2017 Author: Sherri Hope Culver | Alton Grizzle Corporate author: UNESCO Media and information literate individuals are more empowered to make informed decisions about their privacy online and offline, among other things. Accordingly, governments and policy-makers who are committed to ensuring that the privacy of citizens is respected should also be committed to media and information literacy (MIL) for all. If they are not, then their efforts will be less sustainable. Equally, private and public enterprises that genuinely want to respect the privacy of citizens should purposefully contribute to MIL awareness among users qua citizens. Two research surveys are referenced in this report. The first investigated youth attitudes towards MIL and social and democratic discourses. One of the seven themes addressed in the context of social and democratic discourses was privacy. The research was carried out by UNESCO. The second survey studied privacy in MIL courses globally and was conducted for UNESCO by the UNESCO-UNAOC University Network on Media and Information Literacy and Intercultural dialogue (MILID Network), and members of the Global Alliance for Partnerships in Media and Information Literacy (GAPMIL). The report responds to UNESCO’s efforts to stimulate global research into privacy in MIL. Ultimately, this report aims to provide conceptual, development and policy recommendations to foster privacy in MIL, while enabling the critical engagement of people, including young women and men, in an environment conducive to sustainable development and to freedom of expression online and offline. It seeks to provide clarity on the complex issue of how MIL and privacy intersect.

School Convivencia : Reviewing the Concept (Psicoperspectivas; No. 18, Vol. 1) Year of publication: 2019 Author: Cecilia Fierro-Evans | Patricia Carbajal-Padilla Corporate author: Catholic University of Valparaíso. School of Psychology This article reports an effort to review the concept of school convivencia (peaceful coexistence, living together) in the Spanish context with the purpose of advancing into its clarification, and thus contributing to developing a common language in the Latin American region. The authors conduct a basic literature review oriented to identify the main theoretical approaches in the convivencia field. Subsequently, they analyze four studies focused in systematizing the prevailing approaches in the study of school convivencia. As a result, they propose a concept of convivencia from a social justice perspective adapted to education, and they operationalize it in three areas of school life: pedagogical-curricular, organizationaladministrative, and the socio-communitarian. This comprehensive notion of school convivencia may guide future research, educational initiatives, and school assessments in the convivencia field that may respond to the violence and pervasive social exclusion that exist in the Latin American region. 
Becoming Citizens in a Changing World: IEA International Civic and Citizenship Education Study 2016 International Report Year of publication: 2017 Author: Wolfram Schulz, John Ainley, Julian Fraillon, Bruno Losito, Gabriella Agrusti, Tim Friedman Corporate author: International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) The International Civic and Citizenship Education Study 2016 (ICCS 2016) investigated the ways in which young people are prepared to undertake their roles as citizens in a range of countries in the second decade of the 21st century. It studied students’ knowledge and understanding of civics and citizenship as well as students’ attitudes, perceptions, and activities related to civics and citizenship. Based on nationally representative samples of students, the study also examined differences among countries in relation to these outcomes of civic and citizenship education, and explored how cross-national differences relate to student characteristics, school and community contexts, and national characteristics. As the second cycle of this study, ICCS 2016 is a continuation and an extension of ICCS 2009.
