International Literacy Day: Background Paper on 'Youth and Adult Literacy in the Time of COVID-19; Impacts and Revelations' Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: UNESCO Specially prepared on the occasion of International Literacy Day 2020, this background paper illustrates the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on youth and adult literacy, based on the limited information that is currently available. It provides five regional snapshots and identifies preliminary lessons learned thus far, while aiming to inspire continued reflection and subsequent action. It also makes the case for the ongoing importance of advancing youth and adult literacy, a priority that was already neglected even before the pandemic but which deserves all our attention. ILD 2020 thus seeks to trigger reimaginations of literacy teaching and learning in the COVID-19 crisis and beyond, with a particular focus on the role of educators. 
Arab Sustainable Development Report 2020 Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) The 2030 Agenda calls for transformative change and paradigm shifts. Mobilizing domestic and external resources is a pressing challenge in the Arab region, and the pace of efforts on the SDGs must accelerate. However, transformative change not only requires financial resources and an acceleration of efforts but, above all, demands a shift in orientation and approach towards policy integration, environmental sustainability, and universal human rights with their emphasis on equality, justice, inclusion, fundamental freedoms and participatory politics.The story of the SDGs in the Arab region, therefore, is also a story of human rights, gender equality, sustainability and integrated development. The gravity of the task, and the scale of the ambition, are greater than measuring progress at goal, target and indicator level. Five years into the era of the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs, the present report is a reminder that the starting point for implementation and the horizon for achievement must be aligned for change to be transformative. It is only through the alignment of policies and other interventions with the overarching framework of the 2030 Agenda that the region, and the world, can hope to achieve the 2030 Agenda. How close, or how far, the Arab region is from this alignment is the story the present report aims to tell. 
Annual Report 2019: UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) This report shows how, in 2019, UIL worked to fulfil its mission, with a focus on youth and adults and a special emphasis on UNESCO’s priority areas of Africa and gender equality. UIL’s vision is for all children, young people and adults to benefit from quality lifelong learning opportunities, within the framework of sustainable development and peace. We promote lifelong learning as the leading educational paradigm for inclusive and sustainable learning societies in the context of the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which provides an ambitious set of goals and targets for Member States that together form a coherent, universal framework of reference for our activities. Working to this framework, and recognizing lifelong learning’s important transversal role not only with respect to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 on education but across all 17 SDGs, UIL has made an impact across a range of fronts, including in the areas of policy advice, capacity development, research, monitoring, and networking and advocacy. Rapport annuel 2019: Institut de l’UNESCO pour l’apprentissage tout au long de la vie Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) Ce rapport décrit la façon dont l’Institut a opéré en 2019 pour remplir sa mission en concentrant ses activités sur les jeunes et les adultes, et en mettant particulièrement l’accent sur les domaines prioritaires de l’UNESCO que sont l’Afrique et l’égalité des genres. L’UIL nourrit la vision d’un monde où tous les enfants, tous les jeunes et tous les adultes bénéficient d’offres d’apprentissage de qualité tout au long de leur vie, dans le cadre d’un développement durable et dans un monde en paix. Nous assurons la promotion de l’apprentissage tout au long de la vie en tant que paradigme éducatif majeur de sociétés apprenantes inclusives et durables dans le contexte du Programme de développement durable des Nations unies à l’horizon 2030. Ce programme fournit aux États membres une série d’objectifs et de cibles ambitieux qui, dans leur ensemble, constituent un cadre de référence universel et cohérent pour nos activités. Œuvrant à la réalisation de ce cadre et reconnaissant le rôle important de l’apprentissage tout au long de la vie, non seulement dans l’optique de l’Objectif de développement durable 4 (ODD 4) sur l’éducation, mais aussi, de façon plus générale pour réaliser les 17 ODD, l’UIL s’est engagé sur différents terrains tels que la formulation des politiques et leur mise en œuvre, le développement des capacités, la recherche, le pilotage et suivi ainsi que la mise en réseau et le plaidoyer.

The Impact of Short-term Study Abroad on Global Citizenship Identity and Engagement (Journal of Global Citizenship & Equity Education; Vol. 7, No. 1) Year of publication: 2020 Author: Paul Sherman | Brianna Cofield | Neve Connolly Corporate author: Centennial College Higher education has increasingly realized the importance of engaging students in global citizenship learning opportunities to be more globally informed, prepared, responsible, and competent. Study abroad in higher education is rapidly becoming recognized as an effective experiential learning platform for fostering intercultural exchanges. This article reports on research that examined study abroad as a learning platform for integrating classroom-acquired knowledge with real-world experience. The study explored the value of short-term study abroad in the facilitation of students’ global awareness and knowledge, their identification as global citizens and endorsement of prosocial values associated with global citizenship, and their participation as globally engaged citizens. Participation in study abroad was found to significantly strengthen one’s affiliation with global citizenship, endorsement of prosocial values and motivation to engage in global citizenship activities. Our findings have implications for the design and implementation of global citizenship education curricula in higher education. 
Achieving and Monitoring Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship: A Systematic Review of the Literature (Sustainability 2020; Vol. 12, No. 4) Year of publication: 2020 Author: Brent Edwards | Manca Sustarsic | Mina Chiba | Mark McCormick | Melissa Goo | Sara Perriton Corporate author: Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) This paper presents the results of a systematic review of literature (56 studies) related to Sustainable Development Goal 4.7. The goal of the research reported on here is to contribute to the discussion around strategies for working towards and monitoring SDG4.7 at the institutional level. Within this overarching focus, our review of the literature was designed to identify studies that have looked at both student learning and teacher education related to SDG4.7. This twin focus stems from the recognition that achieving the SDGs will be particularly difficult if policymakers are not attentive to both sides of the learning equation—that is, first, to the ways that teachers learn to teach about issues related to SDG4.7 and, then, the ways that students acquire this knowledge and are assessed. The five findings sections of this review correspond to the five areas of emphasis embedded in the language of SDG4.7, namely, education for (a) sustainable development, (b) human rights, (c) gender equality, (d) promoting of a culture of peace and non-violence, and (e) appreciation of cultural diversity. In accordance with the purpose of this review, the synthesis for each area of emphasis digs into the details of the educational interventions, monitoring and evaluation strategies, and results that are documented in the publications analyzed. Thus, this review can be useful for informing educational or pedagogical approaches related to SDG4.7, as well as for designing monitoring and evaluation tools for the SDGs.
