Educational Route: Lessons Learned Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: Save the Children This report, prepared by Save the Children in partnership with HIAS and funded by ECHO, sets out the main lessons learned from the Educational Route project, which has had areas of intervention in Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. The objective of the project has been to contribute to reducing barriers to access to education for children, adolescents and families on the move along the Central American migratory routes. Within the framework of the project, a methodological package has been created containing an evaluation tool “HALDO on the move” (Holistic Assessment of Learning and Development Outcomes) that allows different humanitarian actors to quickly assess the educational level of children and adolescents and record their data on a platform in order to offer an emergency education response adapted to real learning needs, as well as achieve greater coordination to promote educational continuity along the route. 
Environmental Education Toolkit Guide for Latin America and the Caribbean Year of publication: 2023 Author: Eloísa Tréllez Solís Corporate author: United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) The Environmental Education Toolkit is aimed primarily at teachers, multipliers and facilitators in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), and aims to promote interdisciplinary approaches, with a view to the transversality of environmental education. In the new context of a post-COVID-19 health emergency world, this approach becomes more relevant and necessary to achieve a better vision and understanding of the relationships between humans and nature; between societies, cultures and with the ecosystems on which they depend. In the chapters that make up this publication, an approach is proposed through a methodological proposal for reflection and action, the Interdisciplinary Roundtables for Environmental Education towards Sustainability, whose main objective is to strengthen and complement the environmental education processes that are carried out both in educational centers and in community groups, from an interdisciplinary, transversal perspective and with systemic thinking.

Our Common Agenda Policy Brief 10: Transforming Education Year of publication: 2023 Corporate author: United Nations (UN) Building on the Transforming Education Summit and the report of the International Commission on the Futures of Education, this policy brief takes a closer look at the current crisis in education and proposes ideas and guiding actions for countries and the international community to transform education. The right to education and lifelong learning is an essential part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development because education, knowledge and learning are fundamental to human dignity, growth and development. For centuries, education has been the great equalizer, the driving force of nation-building and the engine of social, cultural, economic and technological progress. But today, beset by a dual crisis of equity and relevance, education as we know it is no longer fit for purpose. 
Solidarity as the Future of Education: Perspectives From the Ibero-American Experience of Service-Learning Year of publication: 2024 Author: Elena Massat Corporate author: UNESCO | Latin American Center for Service-Learning (CLAYSS) With this work we have proposed to put into dialogue the recent UNESCO document “Reimagining our futures together. A new social contract for education. Report of the international commission on the futures of education” with the theory and practice of service-learning in Ibero-America. We would like to show how UNESCO's proposal for education for the future can already be verified as a practice in many educational institutions in the region, which develop solidarity service-learning projects even in the most vulnerable contexts. In these experiences, solidarity ceases to be just learning content, to become an educational process, a pedagogy to learn to solve complex problems of reality, and to use the SDGs as a “curriculum” for the education of the future (UNESCO, 2022:54). These practices are deeply innovative, as the experts who comment on them point out, and we hope that they can be inspiring for many other educational institutions.
