Better Life, Better Future: UNESCO Global Partnership for Girls' and Women's Education Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: UNESCO Since its creation, UNESCO has been advocating for, promoting and defending the right to quality education for all, especially for girls and women. As fundamental human rights, gender equality and education stand at the core of UNESCO’s mandate.

Alternative bilingual Miskito-Spanish intercultural literacy education linked to the exercise of citizenship and community production Year of publication: 2008 Corporate author: Regional Literacy and CONFINTEA VI Preparatory Conference in Latin America and the Caribbean: From Literacy to Lifelong Learning: Towards the Challenges of the 21st Century, Mexico City, 2008 The Alternative Bilingual Intercultural Literacy Education project is carried out in five rural indigenous communities and eleven urban neighbourhoods of Bilwi (Puerto Cabezas) in the North Atlantic Autonomous Region (RAAN) of Nicaragua. In this region, illiteracy is the result of poverty, historical social exclusion and the lack of any official or State programme of adult literacy education in the Miskito language. This constitutes a negation of the right to bilingual intercultural education of the young and adult indigenous population and an obstacle to individual, social and regional development. The project provides literacy classes for young people and adults in their mother tongue Miskito and in Spanish, and deals with intercultural themes of their world view, the environment and indigenous rights. In Nicaragua, this experiment is a unique and alternative model of literacy provision in Miskito, with a Miskito-Spanish bilingual intercultural curriculum of its own. The texts have been produced by authors from the Miskito ethnic group, with contents determined on the basis of a needs analysis and the identification of fundamental features of the Miskito world view.
