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.

Finally, the factors that are proposed to generate the transformation are briefly evaluated. 
Sustainability: A Strong Concept for Humanity (Tabula Rasa; no. 28) Year of publication: 2018 Author: Plinio Zarta Ávila Corporate author: University College of Cundinamarca The concept of sustainable development is still under construction, having transcended and being enriched, but also fragmenting, moving away from its origin.

This article promotes a critical discussion of the role of sustainability in the development of society, considering that this concept contemplates important changes in contemporaneity with respect to the values of society.

Understanding Policy Instrument Choice Concerning Citizenship in Education and Youth Policies: A Typology of Public Tools (Citoyenneté des enfants et des adolescents; no. 80) Year of publication: 2018 Author: Valérie Becquet Corporate author: Lien social et Politiques This article proposes a typology of public action instruments mobilized in the education and youth sectors. Three main ones currently coexist: legislative and regulatory, conventional and incentive, informative and communicational. They favor dimensions of citizenship (legal, political and civil) and are aimed at both pupils and young people. This typology is a tool for grasping the meaning of public action, highlighting the preferences of decision-makers for certain types of devices2 and recalling that heterogeneous devices coexist and structure juvenile experiences. In this regard, the taking into account of these devices in the analysis of careers and youth engagement practices is very uneven in the surveys, even though they constitute markers in the same way as other experiences contributing to political socialization, such as participation in protest actions. Given the development of public systems, this marginalization is not without effects on the understanding of the role of the latter in the construction of juvenile practices. After a general presentation of the typology, the main characteristics of the three identified instruments are analyzed. 
ПЕРЕОСМЫСЛИМ НАШЕ БУДУЩЕЕ Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: International Commission on the Futures of Education | UNESCO Наше человечество, наша планета находятся в опасности, пандемия лишь подтвердила нашу хрупкость и взаимозависимость, чтобы изменить ход вещей и переосмыслить наше будущее, необходимы неотложные совместные действия; в этом докладе Международной комиссии по перспективам образования подтверждается способность образования к осуществлению коренных изменений. Перед нами стоит двойная задача – выполнить невыполненное обещание обеспечить право на качественное образование для каждого ребёнка, молодого человека и взрослого и полностью реализовать преобразующий потенциал образования, способного проложить путь к устойчивому коллективному будущему. Для этого нам нужен новый общественный договор в области образования, который сможет устранять проявления несправедливости, преобразуя будущее.Этот новый общественный договор должен основываться на принципах прав человека, недопущения дискриминации, социальной справедливости, уважения жизни, человеческого достоинства и культурного разнообразия. Он должен включать в себя этику заботы о людях, взаимности и солидарности. Он должен укреплять позиции образования как общественного дела и общего блага.Этот доклад, который готовился два года на основе глобального процесса консультаций с участием миллиона человек, предлагает правительствам, учреждениям, организациям и гражданам всего мира разработать новый общественный договор в области образования, который поможет нам построить мирное, справедливое и устойчивое будущее, отвечающее всеобщим интересам.Представленные здесь концепции, принципы и предложения являются лишь отправной точкой. Их воплощение в практику в конкретных условиях – это коллективная работа. Уже есть много положительных моментов, и в настоящем докладе предпринята попытка их отразить и развить. Это не инструкция и не план, а начало жизненно важного разговора.
