International Day against Homophobia & Transphobia: Lesson Plan Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: UNESCO Each year, the world celebrates the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHO) on May 17th. During the days surrounding IDAHO, private and public actors, ranging from the United Nations agencies, to city councils, police stations, human rights organiza-tions, individual citizens, schools and others, implement activities to mark the day. The theme of this year’s IDAHO is “Fighting homophobia and transphobia IN and THROUGH education”. This theme was selected in response to a growing awareness that homophobic and transphobic bullying in schools which are manifestations of homophobia and transphobia, are serious issues that students and educational staff face every day across the world.Over the years, teachers around the world have been developing activities in their classrooms, with the help of various organizations working on efforts to address and homophobia and transphobia in educational institutions. Building on the success of these experiences, UNESCO and the IDAHO Committee propose teachers take advantage of the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia to conduct an ‘IDAHO Lesson’. The four activities proposed below are aimed at both primary and secondary level classes. A list of resources from other organizations for teachers, for all subjects and all grades is included below to enable greater choice of possible activities. By conducting an “IDAHO Lesson”, you can create safer learning environments, address discrimination and encourage respect and tolerance between and amongst learners.(Title: International Day against Homophobia and Transphobia: Lesson Plan) Combattre l’homophobie et la transphobie : Propositions pédagogiques Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: UNESCO Le présent programme pédagogique a été élaboré à l’occasion de l’IDAHO 2012, autour du thème « Combattre l’homophobie et la transphobie DANS et PAR l’éducation », en réponse à la prise de conscience que le harcèlement homophobe ou transphobe dans les écoles sont des manifestations de l’homophobie et de la transphobie auxquelles étudiants et membres du corps enseignant du monde entier doivent faire face au quotidien. Un problème sérieux qui ne peut être ignoré.Diverses études démontrent que le harcèlement homophobe ou transphobe peut avoir de graves répercussions sur la santé physique et mentale des jeunes gens et jeunes filles qui le subissent à un moment crucial de leur vie. Le harcèlement homophobe peut entraîner une baisse des performances d’apprentissage, voire, parfois, le décrochage scolaire. Les jeunes personnes lesbiennes, gays, bisexuelles, transgenres ou intersexes (LGBTI) victimes de harcèlement homophobe sont plus enclines à l’automutilation, et on dénombre parmi cette population beaucoup plus de cas de suicide que chez les autres jeunes. Les recherches révèlent aussi que les jeunes LGBTI ont tendance à adopter des comportements à haut risque tels que les rapports sexuels non protégés et la consommation de stupéfiants.

Each module has sub-themes with introductions, reference materials, general objectives to guide the trainer and generic pedagogical tables that are flexible enough to be adapted to available teaching resources in the different ECOWAS countries. It is also suitable and adaptable to the training of teachers involved in both formal and non-formal education delivery at different levels of teaching and learning. The ultimate goal of the Manual is to build a critical mass of ECOWAS citizens equipped with competent skills, not only for cognitive and psycho-motor domains of education, but also affective skills for positive values, attitudes and behaviors that promote peace, tolerance and peaceful co-existence of community citizens. 
Anytime, Anywhere Learning for Improved Education Results in Russia: Case Study by the UNESCO-Fazheng Project on Best Practices in Mobile Learning Year of publication: 2019 Author: Alexander Uvarov | Julia Varlamova Corporate author: UNESCO The Harmony School in Izhevsk is a regular municipal school located in one of the city districts of the capital city of the Udmurt Republic in Russia. Students come to Harmony school from different cultural and social environments, with various physical and mental abilities, and the school is eager to create the best conditions for learning and developing for each of them. In 2012, Harmony School took a part in the School of Digital Age project supported by the federal Skolkovo project and the Russian branch of Microsoft. The mobile technologies in the school are implemented as a tool for anytime and anywhere learning to differentiate and individualize learning to improve education results.According to the school vision, mobile learning technologies should provide all students and teachers anytime and anywhere access to a variety of teaching and learning materials and digital instruments and students who are unable to attend classes should be able to continue their systematic studies. The mobile learning model should enable every student to experience independent learning activities in the digital educational environment and improve their educational results with new methods and organizational forms of teaching and learning. To implement this vision, the new school-wide teaching and learning practices including online/blended learning, mobile learning in the classroom and outside-classroom learning have been developed and used actively. The new in-school teachers’ professional development model has become a crucially important element for the project’s success.

Éducation à la citoyenneté et à la solidarité internationale en classe de seconde : Guide pédagogique à l’usage des enseignants de sciences économiques et sociales dans le cadre d’un enseignement d’exploration Year of publication: 2016 Author: Denis Bousquet | Hugo Cassagnaud | Benjamin Leger | Agathe Procar Corporate author: Bourgogne Coopération L’éducation met aujourd'hui de plus en plus l’accent sur les valeurs, les attitudes et les compétences des élèves, complétant ainsi une approche fondée sur l'acquisition de connaissances et le développement de capacités cognitives. Partout, dans les institutions, les collectivités locales, les établissements scolaires ou les associations, une attention grandissante est donnée à la compréhension et à la résolution des problèmes mondiaux, qu'ils soient sociopolitiques, économiques, environnementaux ou culturels.Dans ce contexte, l'éducation apparaît comme l'un des piliers du développement des sociétés contemporaines, globalisées et interdépendantes, garant de la promotion des droits de l'homme, de la cohésion sociale ou encore du succès de la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique.Ce guide pédagogique présente le contenu détaillé d'un enseignement dédié à l'éducation à citoyenneté et à la solidarité internationale (ECSI) proposé initialement au lycée Hilaire de Chardonnet de Chalon-sur-Saône.Il s'appuie sur le programme national de l'enseignement d'exploration de sciences économiques et sociales proposé en classe de seconde. Enseigné aux moyens de méthodes spécifiques, il est enrichi par de nombreux outils, ressources et témoignages de chercheurs, de professionnels, de responsables associatifs et d'enseignants.Principalement à destination des enseignants en sciences économiques et sociales, ce guide s'adresse également à tous les enseignants du secondaire qui souhaitent aborder de nouvelles thématiques. Acteurs associatifs, responsables institutionnels ou élus locaux y trouveront une initiative inspirante pour promouvoir l'ouverture au monde et à la citoyenneté. 
Didactique de l’éducation à la citoyenneté Year of publication: 2016 Corporate author: Haute école pédagogique Vaud L’UER Didactiques des sciences humaines de la HEP Vaud assure l’enseignement et la recherche liés à la didactique de l’éducation à la citoyenneté.Comment concevoir une éducation à la citoyenneté pour tous les élèves, quelles que soient leurs origines et leurs nationalités ? Longtemps limitée à la connaissance des institutions politiques et de leur fonctionnement, l’éducation à la citoyenneté invite aujourd’hui également à former les élèves aux pratiques participatives et délibératives constitutives d’une démocratie. Introduite à l’origine sous le terme d’instruction civique et centrée sur la connaissance des institutions politiques comme principal moteur d’insertion dans la collectivité nationale, l’éducation à la citoyenneté est aujourd’hui bien plus conçue, dans les plans d’études, comme une éducation au pouvoir (son fonctionnement, son exercice) et aux pratiques délibératives. Dans le contexte politique et économique actuel, il semble en effet de moins en moins pertinent d’enseigner une citoyenneté figée autour de règles préétablies et visant l’insertion dans une seule communauté d’appartenance.
