Citizenship and Culture of Peace in Educational Reform Year of publication: 2005 Author: Raúl Zepeda López, María del Rosario Toj, Edgar Florencio Montúfar Corporate author: UNESCO The concern raised by the themes and contents of civic education and the culture of peace in childhood and youth are issues that are felt in various academic sectors, in social organizations and educational authorities that sometimes translate into articles in the media, where, among other things, one speaks of "the loss of values", generally having as reference to the young generations and making invisible that this loss is mainly present in the adult generations, which are responsible for this situation. These concerns, in spite of that conscious ambiguity, are not gratuitous. They can be a starting point to become aware of the need to develop new capacities and values, the absence of which young Latin Americans identify in their political and social leaders, as has been pointed out in cited studies, carried out by UNICEF for Latin America and for Beatriz de Cazali for Guatemala. The need to respond to this concern is also present in the participants in the dialogues and municipal consensus (2000), as well as among authorities and curriculum developers of MINEDUC in the last five-years.

Education for international understanding: toward a culture of peace (SangSaeng vol1. autumn 2001) Year of publication: 2001 Author: Swee-Hin Toh Corporate author: APCEIU Over the past several decades of political, economic, social and cultural changes and developments throughout the world, the idea of education for international understanding (EIU) has evolved through the work of innumerable educators, researchers, institutions and organizations. Initially, the focus in school and tertiary programs tended to emphasize the need to increase the level of knowledge about other nations, societies and cultures as a key means to promote better, more “peaceful” international (economic and political) and intercultural relations. Especially in universities of the “North,” area studies of different regions and countries expanded and found their way into school-based curricula. In part, EIU was deemed important and helpful in the development of human resources needed to implement foreign aid programs. It was also a response to the increased internationalization of campuses due to the growing numbers of foreign/overseas students. By the 60s, however, a variety of social and political forces and movements were beginning to impact on this earlier focus of EIU. First, it was no longer viewed only in terms of understanding the relations between “nations” or “societies” across political and economic boundaries. EIU would need also to look closely at local and internal issues, and at problems of one’s own society that might significantly influence the direction and nature of international relations. Furthermore, conceptual perspectives on EIU began to reflect a spectrum of frameworks of understanding and analysis, from “conservative” and “liberal” to more “critical” paradigms. Underpinning the critical approaches was a questioning of the power inequities characterizing the international order of nation-states, and the need to overcome such gaps if the original vision of “world peace” was to be fulfilled. Third, the evolving theory and practice of EIU took on a host of societal, international and increasingly global issues deemed urgent at all levels of life.
