Streck | Alfonso Torres Carrillo | Alfredo Manuel Ghiso | Oscar Jara Holliday Corporate author: Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales (CLACSO) In the pages and chapters of the book you walk through the corners of Bolivia with indigenous voices and struggles, through a Chile and an Argentina that go through stories, struggles and disputes over public affairs in the midst of hostile contexts, through a Central America (El Salvador, Costa Rica and Mexico) that rescues a tremendous legacy of organizational and revolutionary processes, and for Colombia, which in its fight for peace, collects the voices of organized youth. At the same time, this construction takes up great thinkers and collective actors who have enriched the paths of Popular Education and Critical Pedagogies.Thus, crossed by our Latin American history, by the distressing challenges and tensions that democracies go through today in each of our territories and contexts, by the conservative restorations that condition and surround us, Critical Pedagogies and Popular Education cannot but, according to what we have been seeing, that working in defense of the right to education that seems to be liquefying in several of our countries, they cannot help but put on the attire of a teacher to resist, from the state public school, the right to learn from children and young people and the right to be a teacher, to teach, of thousands of teachers who seem to want to be replaced by “educational leaders” and canned technological programs, with very good dividends for their importers. 
Reimagining Social Policies to Support Families in China: A Research Report Year of publication: 2023 Corporate author: 联合国儿童基金会驻华办事处 There have been significant changes in the population and society in China over recent decades. The birth rate has declined, and the population has aged. The average family size shrank from 3.1 people in 2010 to 2.8 in 2022[i], and the one-child policy has been reversed. Urbanization, rural-urban migration and the growth of the informal sector have changed how people live and work. Gender inequality persists, with women frequently facing discrimination and barriers to employment. All these changes have implications for family policy – statutory policies and government-led programmes that aim to improve conditions for adult family members, particularly those caring for children up to the age of 18.A new report, ‘Reimaging Social Policies to Support Families in China’ by UNICEF synthesizes the context and challenges of family policies in China and reviews over 180 evaluations of family policies worldwide. The report highlights case studies of policies that could be adapted and incorporated into family policy in China, and it identifies implications for designing and implementing innovative policy.

Diversity, Dialogue and Sharing: Online Resources for a More Resourceful World Year of publication: 2017 Author: Francine Saillant Corporate author: UNESCO The different societies and regions of the world are developing original perspectives on diversity, cultural rapprochement and intercultural dialogue. These perspectives arise through the complex interactions between regional structures, governmental bodies, civil society and cultural institutions. The tools available to these actors are easily identifiable on a global scale, particularly those regularly produced by UNESCO. However, other tools exist - intercultural universities, virtual libraries, training programs for urban policies, MOOCS, video conferences, virtual exhibitions, online archives, to name but a few - their visibility limited by their fragmented distribution. It is through these resources that countries and regions succeed in producing responses in support and promotion of diversity adapted to their context specific problems.This book provides a reinterpretation of the concept of intercultural dialogue rooted in regional perspectives on diversity, giving a broad panorama of the shared theoretical, practical and technical tools and online resources available.This book comprises three parts. Part 1 examines the perspectives selected for our inquiry from a conceptual and reflective standpoint. Topics covered will include the notions of diversity and dialogue, an examination of these notions, and finally our methodology. Part 2 introduces the regions (in the sense established by UNESCO), their diversity-related characteristics and issues, and the regional strategies adopted in order to promote not only diversity but also rapprochement and dialogue. Finally, Part 3 details the various actions that embody the regions’ strategies and broad orientations, with each action being presented based on its underlying aims. Parts 2 and 3 represent two different ways of approaching the shared and shareable resources in question, of which we hope to present the most promising aspects.
