Global Citizenship Education in a Digital Age: Teacher Guidelines Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: UNESCO This book is an essential resource for teachers seeking to understand the critical role that digital citizenship education plays in promoting a more informed, engaged, and responsible global citizenry. While digital technologies have opened up new opportunities for life-long learning, they have also given rise to emerging concerns, notably in relation to the rise of disinformation and hate speech online. Aimed at building the capacities of teachers to prepare learners to act ethically and responsibly in physical and digital environments, these guidelines stress the importance of considering how Global Citizenship Education (GCED) and related knowledge, values, skills and attitudes can be fostered for teaching, learning and engaging for a more sustainable, inclusive, just and peaceful world.

Internationalization in Basic Education: Languages of Reality(Revista iberoamericana de educación; vol. 93, no. 1) Year of publication: 2023 Author: Vera Lucia Felicetti | Vanessa Gabrielle Woicolesco Corporate author: Revista Iberoamericana de Educación The presence of internationalization practices in Basic Education schools has been quietly taking shape on the national, Ibero-American and international stage, but the absence of records of the actions that characterize them as internationalization continues to be a gap in their understanding. From these silent practices of internationalization we see the potential to build knowledge while respecting the interculturality that permeates the educational space. In this sense, we must recognize and understand these practices as internationalization processes, with a view to debating and reflecting on how they can contribute to the improvement of the educational system from an Ibero-American perspective.
Internacionalización en la educación básica: Lenguajes de la realidad(Revista iberoamericana de educación; vol. 93, núm. 1) Year of publication: 2023 Author: Vera Lucia Felicetti | Vanessa Gabrielle Woicolesco Corporate author: Revista Iberoamericana de Educación La presencia de prácticas de internacionalización en los centros escolares de Educación Básica se ha ido configurando de forma silenciosa en el escenario nacional, iberoamericano e internacional, pero la ausencia de registros de las acciones que las caracterizan como internacionalización sigue siendo una laguna en su comprensión. A partir de estas prácticas silenciosas de internacionalización vemos el potencial para construir el conocimiento respetando la interculturalidad que impregna el espacio educativo. En este sentido, debemos reconocer y entender estas prácticas como procesos de internacionalización, con vistas a debatir y reflexionar sobre cómo pueden contribuir a la mejora del sistema educativo desde una perspectiva iberoamericana.
Revision Process of the 1974 Recommendation concerning Education for International Understanding, Co-operation and Peace and Education relating to Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms: Comments from Observers to the Plenary Meetings of the International Expert Group (IEG) Year of publication: 2023 Corporate author: UNESCO Adopted in 1974, the Recommendation concerning education for international understanding, co-operation and peace and education relating to human rights and fundamental freedoms is considered a landmark legal instrument that brings together for the first time peace, international understanding, human rights, fundamental freedoms and education. In line with the Resolution adopted at UNESCO’s General Conference at its 41st Session in November 2021 (41C/Resolution 17), UNESCO launched the revision of the Recommendation and convened an International Expert Group (IEG) to advise the Organization on the changes. The work of the IEG took place between May and June 2022. Though the meetings of the IEG were technical in nature (category VI), in order to ensure an open and transparent process, the Permanent Delegations were invited to listen-in to the deliberations of the IEG online, as observers, along with a select number of non-governmental organizations, intergovernmental organizations, and United Nations entities. At the end of each plenary meeting, observers to the IEG plenary meetings could submit written comments. This document compiles the comments received from observers during this process and submitted to the IEG members for their consideration.
