Global youth advocacy workshop on GCED: final report Year of publication: 2015 Corporate author: APCEIU The United Nations Secretary-General's Global Education First Initiative (GEFI) recognizes Global Citizenship Education (GCED) as one of its three priorities. UNSG GEFI has generated momentum for GCED which has since been in the target of the education goal in the Muscat Agreement 2014 and in the proposed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the Open Working Group. The proposed SDGs will provide the basis for further intergovernmental negotiations on the post 2014 development agenda.In support of UNSG GEFI, UNESCO held its Second Global Forum on Global Citizenship Education on Building Peaceful and Sustainable Societies: Preparing for Post-2015 from 28 to 30 January 2015 in Paris, France.

The participants of the workshop were selected on the basis of their previous experiences, present engagement, and future commitment in educating youth at the local and national levels. The objectives of the workshop were: 1. To build a common understanding of GCED and its key priority areas by building on the dialogue initiated at the Paris GCED Forum.2. To allow the participating youth leaders to elaborate an advocacy strategy suitable for implementation at the local and national levels to advance the GCED agenda beyond 2015.3.

세계시민을 위한 국제이해교육 Year of publication: 2003 Corporate author: APCEIU International Commission on Education for the Twenty-first Century of UNESCO proposed “Learning to Live Together” as the worldwide educational goal at the twenty-first century. Also, as many countries have become multiethnic or multicultural societies due to increasing interdependences, globalization and ICT, the necessity and importance of Education for International Understanding (EIU) on how to live in harmony with others is growing. In Korea, EIU was included as a selective subject for creative experience activities in the seventh national curriculum and the number of schools teaching EIU on the ground has been increasing since 2000. However, in many cases what to teach was left up to teachers’ discretion owing to the lack of clear guidelines or materials. This book is comprised of systematized educational goals and contents in accordance with primary and secondary school curricula, and was developed by Asia-Pacific Centre for Education for International Understanding (APCIEU) under the auspices of UNESCO for its first three years since its establishment in 2000. EIU as a school subject aims to provide students with knowledge, values and ethical attitudes needed for the people of global society to move beyond the borders of ethnicity, culture and religion into a life of peaceful coexistence. Within the frame of EIU, students learn about cultural relativity and universal values. Based on holistic perspective, this book is designed with the following five units - multicultural understanding, issues of globalization, respect for human rights, a peaceful world, and sustainable development - to be utilized for learning at the level of primary and secondary level students.

A Study on the Monitoring Framework of GCED in South Korea Year of publication: 2020 Author: Hwanbo Park | Daehoon Jho | Kyunghee Park | Jeongmin Eom Corporate author: APCEIU The purpose of this study is to establish a feasible monitoring system for the implementation of Global Citizenship Education (GCED) in South Korea that can both align itself with the global indicator (SDG 4.7.1) and reflect the domestic context and feasibility. The study further builds upon previous studies carried out by the Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding (APCEIU). Particularly, it aims to refine and validate the GCED indicator system for domestic monitoring as proposed in the previous studies, which are also in line with SDG 4.7.1, the global indicator to monitor the mainstreaming of GCED/ESD.To this end, the study involved a Delphi survey and expert consultation to build the refined list and classification of GCED related thematic areas and keywords contextualized in Korea, and aligned these with global indicators so that it could establish a set of sub-indicators for the South Korean context. Then, it pilot-tested the sub-indicators by codifying and statistically analyzing key policy documents and the curricula of Teacher Education Institutes (TEIs) to validate the sub-indicators and to examine the extent to which GCED is mainstreamed in the given domains of the Korean context. Case analyses with focused interviews for some TEI curricula were also added to enrich the study. Lastly, the study draws key implications and proposes some recommendations for the establishment of a feasible and sustainable GCED monitoring system in South Korea. Considering the importance of national input in initiating the SDG agenda, the research concluded with a proposal on how to manage the global citizenship indicators in South Korea.
