Building Citizenship from Universities; University Social Responsibility and Challenges in the XXI century Year of publication: 2011 Author: Eduardo Gasca-Pliego | Julio César Olvera-García Corporate author: Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México The present essay contributes with a reflection on the role universities must take as agents of transformation and consolidation of the democratic model, mainly before the challenge of building full citizens, interested in the need of the physical and social environment, in collective decision making, who think of themselves as participant citizens and not only voters with their own interests in view. Distinguishable is the primordial role of university social responsibility to promote the social management of knowledge for everyone, which has as an end the construction of informed, responsible and participant citizenship, which responds to injustice, non-sustainability, violence and corruption. Rethinking the social function of the university requires defending the values proper to public education, in the sense that every citizen has equal opportunities to develop their capabilities, eliminating obstacles of social and economic nature, as well as the cultural and political that affect and hinder said development. Construir ciudadanía desde las universidades, responsabilidad social universitaria y desafíos ante el siglo XXI Year of publication: 2011 Author: Eduardo Gasca-Pliego | Julio César Olvera-García Corporate author: Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México El presente ensayo aporta una reflexión respecto al rol que deben adquirir las universidades como agentes de transformación y consolidación del modelo democrático, principalmente ante al reto de construir ciudadanos completos, interesados por las necesidades del entorno físico y social, por la toma de decisiones colectivas, que se conciben a sí mismos como ciudadanos partícipes y no únicamente como votantes con miras a satisfacer sus propios intereses. Destaca el papel prioritario de la responsabilidad social universitaria que promueva la gestión social del conocimiento para todos los actores sociales, que tenga como finalidad la construcción de una ciudadanía informada, responsable y participativa, que responda ante la injusticia, la insostenibilidad, la violencia y la corrupción. Repensar la función social de la universidad pública requiere defender los valores propios de la educación pública, en el sentido de que todos los ciudadanos tengan la igualdad de oportunidades para desarrollar sus capacidades, eliminando obstáculos de carácter económico y social, así como los culturales y políticos que afectan e impiden ese desarrollo. 
Global Citizenship Education: Preparing Learners for the Challenges of the 21st Century Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: UNESCO The United Nations Secretary-General’s Global Education First Initiative (GEFI) has established education as a means to ‘foster global citizenship’ – one of its three priority areas. To support this, UNESCO organized two landmark meetings on GCE in 2013. This publication aims to define the parameters of GCE by using the collective expertise, experience and wisdom of those participants who gathered at these landmark events, and to plan for future action in line with emerging thinking and other ongoing work. The review establishes that GCE has a critical role to play in equipping learners with competencies to deal with the dynamic and interdependent world of the twenty-first century. While GCE has been applied in different ways in different contexts, regions and communities, it has a number of common elements, which include fostering in learners. In formal settings, GCE can be delivered as an integral part of an existing subject (such as civic or citizenship education, social studies, environmental studies, geography or culture), or as an independent subject area. Integrated models appear to be more common. Some less traditional, but at least as effective, pathways for GCE have included the following: the use of information and communication technologies and social media, sport competitions and the use of art and music, and youth-led initiatives employing a wide variety of approaches. Both traditional and new horizons for GCE are profiled in this review. This publication also explores a number of enabling conditions for the promotion and implementation of GCE. These include: the existence of an open environment for universal values, the implementation of transformative pedagogy and support for youth-led initiatives.The review acknowledges that there are a number of ongoing tensions with the concepts of global citizenship and global citizenship education. While these tensions vary, they all point to the fundamental question of how to promote universality (e.g. common and collective identity, interest, participation, duty), while respecting singularity (e.g. individual rights, self-improvement). Some ways forward to resolve these tensions are suggested, whilst maintaining that challenges around theoretical elements of GCE should not undermine its practice. The processes documented in this publication have strengthened partnerships, built coalitions and contributed to improving the evidence base on the theory and practice of global citizenship education. While there are tasks that remain, this foundation bodes well for improving the enabling conditions and the practices highlighted in this review. By preparing learners to fulfil their potential in an increasingly globalized world, we are promoting transformed societies that are also better equipped to deal with the twenty-first century challenges and to seize twenty-first century opportunities. Educación para la Ciudadanía Mundial: Preparar a los Educandos para los Retos del Siglo XXI Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: UNESCO Esta publicación explora una serie de condiciones favorables para la promoción y la puesta en práctica de la ECM. Entre estos se incluyen: la existencia de un entorno abierto para los valores universales, la aplicación de pedagogía transformativa y el apoyo a las iniciativas dirigidas por los jóvenes. El estudio reconoce que hay una serie de tensiones vigentes para con los conceptos de ciudadanía mundial y educación para la ciudadanía mundial. Si bien estas tensiones varían, todas ellas apuntan a la cuestión fundamental de cómo promover la universalidad (p. ej. la identidad, el interés, la participación, el deber comunes y colectivos), respetando al mismo tiempo la singularidad (es decir, los derechos individuales, la superación personal). Se proponen algunas maneras de avanzar para resolver estas tensiones, a la vez que se mantiene que las dificultades que plantean los elementos teóricos de la ECM no deben socavar su práctica.

Education for international understanding: a river flowing from the mountains (SangSaeng vol5. autumn 2002) Year of publication: 2002 Author: Swee-Hin Toh Corporate author: APCEIU EIU (Education for International Understanding) is a concept that has diverse sources and tributaries, much like a river that begins in the mountains and flows to the sea or ocean, enriched by innumerable ideas, perspectives and practices along its journey. However, unlike a river in one community or nation, this is a river that flows across the world encompassing the breadth and depth of civilizations, peoples and mother Earth. Although by designation EIU appears to have a “modern genealogy,” it is vital to recognize and to search for its roots in the ancient wisdoms of all civilizations, especially through the values and principles of well-being, dignity and good or virtuous relationships between and among all peoples, communities and societies. EIU has been catalyzed and developed by multiple individuals, organizations, agencies and movements, including educators, researchers, national/multilateral organizations (e.g. UN agencies), NGOs, people’s organizations (POs) and other civil society movements and advocates. EIU is simultaneously practiced in all modes of education (formal, non-formal and informal), but a challenge is to attain synergy across all the modes for optimal outcomes and sustainability. Education pour la compréhension internationale: une rivière qui coule des montagnes (SangSaeng vol 5. automne 2002) Year of publication: 2002 Author: Swee-Hin Toh Corporate author: APCEIU ECI (éducation pour la compréhension internationale) est un concept qui a diverses sources et affluents, un peu comme une rivière qui commence dans les montagnes et se jette à la mer ou de l'océan, enrichi par des idées innombrables, les perspectives et les pratiques le long de son voyage. Cependant, contrairement à une rivière dans une communauté ou d'une nation, cela est une rivière qui coule à travers le monde englobant la largeur et la profondeur des civilisations, les peuples et la Terre mère. Bien que par la désignation ECI semble avoir une «généalogie moderne», il est essentiel de reconnaître et de rechercher ses racines dans les anciennes sagesses de toutes les civilisations, en particulier à travers les valeurs et les principes du bien-être, la dignité et de bons ou vertueux relations entre et parmi tous les peuples, les communautés et les sociétés. ECI a été catalysée et développé par des individus multiples, les organisations, les organismes et les mouvements, y compris les éducateurs, les chercheurs, les organisations nationales / multilatérales (par exemple les agences de l'ONU), les ONG, les Organisations Populaires (OPs) et les autres mouvements de la société civile et les défenseurs. ECI est simultanément pratiqué dans tous les modes de l'éducation (formelle, non formelle et informelle), mais un défi est d'atteindre une synergie entre tous les modes pour des résultats optimaux et la durabilité.

EIU Best Practice Series No.30: Local-based initiative in global citizenship education: Gyeongnam teachers’ society for EIU and ESD Year of publication: 2012 Author: Byeongseob Choi Corporate author: APCEIU Issue No. 30 introduces a case in the Republic of Korea on the local-based initiatives of school teachers to promote EIU and ESD in their local community. The case illustrates the taken steps and efforts made by the respective teachers when elaborating innovative approaches to promote EIU and ESD, led by the intention to create a more open and locally relevant educational setting for students as well as teachers in response to the growing globalization. Especially the Gyeongnam Province, where the teachers are based, is experiencing a rapid demographic change due to the high influx of foreigners, which calls upon the educators to prepare their students to effectively cope with these changes and become global citizens.
