Art Education in the Republic of Kazakhstan: Perception of the National Traditions and Rapprochement of the Cultures; Research Paper Year of publication: 2010 Author: Rustam Muzafarov Kazakhstan has the unique feature of ethno-cultural diversity that appeared historically due to multi-ethnic and multi-confessional population's development. Such an environment urges the state to facilitate the revival and development of ethnic cultures and cross-cultural interaction for the benefit of national unity. The adoption of the concept of ethno-cultural education means that the creation of national education system would enhance the idea of cultural and linguistic pluralism, combining the advanced education techniques and information facilities with traditional cultural values. In fact, the educated personality feels real belonging to the historical and cultural traditions of the country.

The model was developed from data provided by over 600 teachers of the UNESCO Associated Schools network from 39 countries. The publication presents Learning Experience Descriptions and Snapshots illustrating how the model functions in real-world projects from around the globe, as well as Guidelines for Teachers outlining a step-by-step process for activating arts learning to empower transformative education. 
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 Asia and the Pacific Region under the auspices of UNESCO (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.
