عدسة التعليم من أجل التنمية المستدامة أداة استعراض السياسات والممارسات Year of publication: 2010 Corporate author: منظمة الأمم المتحدة للتربية والعلم والثقافة (UNESCO) The UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD) calls on the Governments to consider the inclusion of measures to implement the Decade in their respective education systems and strategies and, where appropriate, into national development plans’.2 This ESD Lens provides tools to start this process. It can be adapted to different educational contexts, and country specific policy and practice needs. It is not prescriptive, but provides guidelines and starting points for reviewing education policy and practice using an ESD perspective. ESD Lens Review Tools are provided for planning, for building knowledge of ESD, for reviewing national policy and the aims of education, for reviewing quality learning outcomes, and for reviewing more specific and detailed aspects of the education system such as curriculum, learning materials, assessment and teacher education. The tool is flexible and can be used at different levels of the system.Some of the tools are more suited to policy-makers, while others can be used by teachers and principals in schools. Ideally they should all be used to ensure a more systemic re-orientation of the education system in a country, province, region or district.The pilot testing of the ESD Lens showed that it helps to build synergy for understanding and implementing ESD at national level and at sub-regional levels. The key question being addressed by the ESD Lens is:How can education policies, curriculum and other support processes sufficiently integrate the principles of ESD to inform and strengthen the quality of learning experiences for sustainable development? Shaping the education of tomorrow: 2012 full length report on the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development Year of publication: 2012 Author: Arjen E.J. Wals Corporate author: UNESCO This report represents the second review of the DESD and is conducted in the context of its Global Monitoring and Evaluation Framework (GMEF). It appears twenty years after the Rio Earth Summit, at a time where the challenge of SD is greater than ever. It is all the more timely because there is increased recognition that this challenge cannot be solved solely through technological advances, legislative measures and new policy frameworks. While such responses are necessary, they need to be accompanied by changes in mindsets, values and lifestyles and a strengthening of people’s capacities to bring about change.The report shows that many governments, NGOs, UN agencies and indeed, companies are increasingly emphasizing the importance of learning and capacity-building as they search for solutions to sustainability challenges including climate change, disaster risk management, biodiversity loss and sustainable production and consumption.

Quality Physical Education (QPE): guidelines for policy makers Year of publication: 2015 Author: Nancy, McLennan | Jannine, Thompson Corporate author: UNESCO A key feature of the Post-2015 Development Agenda is sustainable development. Sustainable development starts with safe, healthy, well-educated children. Participation in quality physical education (QPE), as part of a rounded syllabus, enhances young peoples’ civic engagement, decreases violence and negative patterns of behaviour, and improves health awareness. The UNESCO QPE Policy Package is an original piece of work, which draws upon results from extensive global research (including the Worldwide Survey of School Physical Education). These guidelines, designed for global application and local adaptation, provide a means of analysing current policy through practical guidance and a ‘how-to’ approach. The materials have been developed in consultation with key partners including the European Commission, the International Council for Sport Science and Physical Education (ICSSPE), UNDP, UNICEF, UNOSDP and WHO.

Conceptualizing Intercultural Understanding within International Contexts: Challenges and Possibilities for Education Year of publication: 2017 Author: Fethi Mansouri, Ruth Arber Corporate author: UNESCO This chapter interrogates the ways in which intercultural conception has been defined in diverse contexts, providing the framing context for policy and curriculum measures to work with the manifestations of global population movement, diversity and change. It asks questions the ways in which conversations about intercultural understanding can be broadened to consider how entrenched systemic inequalities, the underlying notional and institutional frameworks that support them, and the mono-cultural and specific privileges and oppression, which are so often their enduring outcome, can be dismantled. To that end, it examines how policy and notional and practical work, in relation to intercultural understanding, can better encompass structural and cultural change regarding the ways in which cross cultural encounters and intercultural relations are shaped and take place. Educação 2030 Declaração de Incheon Rumo a uma educação de qualidade inclusiva e equitativa e à educação ao longo da vida para todos Year of publication: 2016 Corporate author: UNESCO | United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) | UN. Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) | United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) | United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) | United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) This framework — painstakingly drafted over many months with input from governments, international agencies, civil society and experts — provides guidance for implementing the education commitments made in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at a national, regional and global level. In particular: it aims at mobilizing all countries and partners around Sustainable Education Goal 4 and its targets; it proposes ways of implementing, coordinating, financing and monitoring the new commitments; and it proposes indicative strategies which countries may wish to draw upon in developing their plans, taking into account different national realities, capacities and levels of development and respecting national policies and priorities.
