International Technical Guidance on Sexuality Education: An Evidence-Informed Approach for Schools, Teachers and Health Educators Year of publication: 2009 Corporate author: UNESCO Based on a rigorous and current review of evidence on sexuality education programmes, this International Technical Guidance on Sexuality Education is aimed at education and health sector decision-makers and professionals. It has been produced to assist education, health and other relevant authorities in the development and implementation of school-based sexuality education programmes and materials. Volume I focuses on the rationale for sexuality education and provides sound technical advice on characteristics of effective programmes. A companion document, (Volume II ) focuses on the topics and learning objectives to be covered in a ‘basic minimum package’ on sexuality education for children and young people from 5 to 18+ years of age and includes a bibliography of useful resources. The International Technical Guidance is relevant not only to those countries most affected by HIV and AIDS, but also to those facing low prevalence and concentrated epidemics. 
Educación Inclusiva Year of publication: 2008 Corporate author: UNESCO International Bureau of Education (IBE) La educación inclusiva: el camino hacia el futuro es el tema de la cuadragésimo octava reunión de la Conferencia Internacional de Educación (CIE) que tendrá lugar en Ginebra del 25 al 28 de noviembre de 2008. Creo que un genuino diálogo y un franco debate entre los ministros y otros actores de la educación sobre este tema central y sobre los cuatro subtemas relacionados: enfoques, alcance y contenido; políticas públicas; sistemas, interfaces y transiciones, y alumnos y docentes, resultarán a la vez oportunos y apropiados.

Tout au long de ce numéro, l’inclusion est le principe de base qui oriente l’Éducation pour tous (EPT) de qualité —- c’est-à-dire, l’établissement de systèmes éducatifs tirant profit de la diversité et visant à édifier une société plus juste et plus démocratique.Ce numéro spécial est consacré au thème de la quarante-huitième session de la Conférence internationale de l’éducation (CIE) « L’éducation pour l’inclusion : la voie de l’avenir » (Genève, 25-28 novembre 2008). 
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.
