The first was the joint publication by APCEIU and UNESCO(2021) titled Global citizenship education: a policymaking awareness and advocacy handbook.This latest handbook aims to raise awareness among teachers in the Asia-Pacific region on GCED and to equip teachers with knowledge about GCED, its importance and how to teach it, using good practices, to enhance learners’ competences at the classroom level, for society’s overall benefit.Recognizing that education policies, strategies and practices in the Asia-Pacific region reflect GCED in diverse ways, this handbook also seeks to provide a common regional understanding of what GCED is.

Through explaining what GCED is and its outcomes, this handbook will enable teachers and educators to develop a deeper understanding of the benefits that GCED brings to learners. This handbook will also help teachers to themselves cultivate the necessary values, knowledge, skills and attitudes, and make the required behavioural changes, as one must become a responsible global citizen first in order to empower others to do so.As a practical guide, this handbook also supports teachers to integrate GCED into their teaching. The handbook provides examples of good practices, compiled from the Asia-Pacific region, that teachers can easily adapt for use in their classrooms to boost GCED values, knowledge, skills, attitudes and behavioural changes, among learners of all ages. Resources listed in the annex provide teachers with additional support.Policy-makers and school leaders can also benefit from this handbook; it serves as an additional reference to Global citizenship education: a policymaking awareness and advocacy handbook (APCEIU and UNESCO, 2021); to assist them in understanding what support teachers need in delivering GCED. This guide can also provide insights on how to foster resilience and rebuild education systems so that they are better equipped to deal with future crises.

17th Asia-Pacific Training Workshop on EIU: Final Report Year of publication: 2017 Author: Yeonwoo Lee | Grace Na Corporate author: APCEIU Since its establishment in 2001, APCEIU has been organizing capacity building training workshops on Education for International Understanding (EIU) for educators to promote a Culture of Peace through education. The critical importance of preparing educators towards building a more peaceful and sustainable world has been reaffirmed by the increased attention to GCED (Global Citizenship Education), with the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Education 2030 Framework for Action in 2015. Fostering global citizenship is in line with EIU’s core values in terms of the promotion of learning to live together to make a more just, peaceful, and inclusive society.The Asia-Pacific Training Workshop on EIU (APTW), APCEIU’s flagship programme, aims to enhance participants’ knowledge, skills, and commitment to EIU and GCED and enable them to competently design and implement EIU/GCED activities in their local and national contexts. Designed as a Training of Trainers (TOT), the APTW not only encompasses key themes and concepts surrounding EIU/GCED, but also has a strong focus on creative methodologies and approaches to teach EIU/GCED. In order to achieve this goal, this intensive 9-day training workshop includes lectures, discussions, workshops, in-depth seminars, field visits, action plan development in small groups where participants can learn from one another and from the experiences they encounter during the workshop. Furthermore, participants are encouraged to plan and carry out their own training workshops to spread the messages of EIU/GCED after their participation in the workshop.This workshop is sponsored by Ministry of Education and partnered with UNESCO Bangkok, supported by Korea Funds-in-Trust. 28 teacher educators/trainers in the Asia-Pacific region participated in the workshop and strengthened their understanding of Global Citizenship Education and discussed pedagogy, and action planning to practice GCED at national and international levels.
