Peace Education in Northeast Asia: A Situational Analysis Year of publication: 2021 Author: Soonwon Kang | Cheng Liu | Ketei Matsui | Batbaatar Monkhooroi | Boyoung Park | Muyu Huang | Oyuntsetseg Dugarsuren Corporate author: APCEIU Being central to education for international understanding and global citizenship, peace education has always been an important theme in UNESCO. For effective delivery of peace education, it is critical to examine and understand the relevance of peace education and its key issues and approaches at a given juncture. With this in mind, in 2020, APCEIU conducted a study on peace education in South Korea to review its current state and suggest some policy recommendations. Following up on this study, APCEIU initiated in 2021 a research project on peace education in Northeast Asia in order to identify how peace education is interpreted and practised in the countries of the region and explore possibilities of cooperation among peace educators, researchers, and practitioners in the region. Building on this research, APCEIU hopes to develop and carry out joint projects for peace education in the region.

Embracing Peace through UNESCO World Heritage Year of publication: 2024 Author: 장정아 | 김민성 | 김수진 | 김원호 | 안치영 | 오성희 | 오창현 | 이성영 | 이현경 | 전원희 Corporate author: 유네스코한국위원회 This resource kit is the product of long labor by 10 researchers consisting of scholars on UNESCO heritage and teachers working in schools that belong to the UNESCO Associated Schools Network (ASPnet). It is distinct from existing educational resources in several ways. First, this kit goes beyond introducing the variously inscribed World Heritage properties one after another, to explain the rich significance of the heritage properties through keywords such as peace, cultural diversity, and sustainability. We also sought to overcome misconceptions about World Heritage and presented the content through various interesting cases for easy, hands-on application in classroom settings. In 2024, KNCU has pilot-tested the teaching materials presented in this resource kit in Korean middle and high schools belonging to UNESCO ASPnet. An online teacher training course based on this book has also been provided in June this year.
