Education as a Security Issue Author: Ian Jamison Corporate author: Tony Blair Faith Foundation The use of education as both tool and target of religious extremists globally is perhaps one of the most important generational challenges we face today. To ensure that the next generation is open to a more pluralistic world, we must ensure that their education equips them to safely encounter the 'Other'. This not only means improving knowledge, understanding and interaction, but also critically requires investment in developing essential soft skills that can ensure these are properly employed. 
Educating Against Extremism Year of publication: 2012 Author: Dianne Gereluk Extremism is a huge concern across the world right now, fueled by its links to terrorism and religious fundamentalism. This book explores the relationship of education to extremism and examines how education could counter its more dangerous forms. Lynn Davies proposes a very different educational strategy to the conventional tolerant multiculturalism that pertains in the west. The task – a challenging one – is to politicize young people without cementing uncritical acceptance of single truths.

These cases are examples of the many projects funded by the FVR.The project had its roots in the previous successes and tried and tested approaches of the partner organisations. The aim of FVR! was to secure resources and develop the value-based, high quality work of civil society organisations. The second aim was to enable smaller organisations to learn about EU project funding and to build capacity on how to conduct high quality global citizenship education and development communications. Finally, the overarching aim of the project was to engage EU citizens with the SDGs.

The report addresses the following questions: 1) What is the benefit of GCE to our societies? 2) What is the impact of GCE to our societies? and 3) Why do we believe that GCE is the answer to global challenges?The publication also maps GCE-related or GCE-inspired initiatives, projects and partnerships, and offers key findings from a comparative study of these cases. Additionally, Susa also further builds on the recent work of Vanessa Andreotti by elucidating her taxonomy of soft, radical and beyond reform spaces for GCE, as well as relates these to current (international) policy developments in the field. 
Educating Students to Improve the World (SpringerBriefs in Education) Year of publication: 2020 Author: Fernando Reimers This open access book addresses how to help students find purpose in a rapidly changing world. In a probing and visionary analysis of the field of global education Fernando Reimers explains how to lead the transformation of schools and school systems in order to more effectively prepare students to address today’s’ most urgent challenges and to invent a better future. It discusses several global citizenship curricula that have been adopted by schools and school networks, and ties them into an approach to lead school change into the uncharted territory of the future. Given its scope, the book will help teachers, school and district leaders tackle the change management needed in order to introduce global education, and more generally increase the relevancy of education. In addition, the book offers a “bridge” for more productive collaboration and communication between those who lead the process of educational change, and those who study and theorize this important work.

Controversial Issues - Teachers' attitudes and practices in the context of citizenship education Year of publication: 2004 Author: Christopher Oultona | Vanessa Dayb | Justin Dillon | Marcus Graced A survey of the literature suggests that the principles and methods relating to the teaching of controversial issues are themselves controversial. This irony is more relevant to teachers now than ever before. This paper explores the issue of teachers' readiness to use controversial issues in the classroom, and reports on research involving focus groups and questionnaires. We suggest that many teachers are under‐prepared and feel constrained in their ability to handle this aspect of their work.
