EIU Best Practice Series No. 5: Peace and human rights education through education for sustainable development: lessons from four case studies in the Philippines Year of publication: 2007 Corporate author: APCEIU The four case studies showed that EIU through peace and human rights education in the context of education for sustainable development can build a critical mass of Filipinos who will reject wars and promote social security. Education can play a role to direct the children, youth, and adults toward peace building and better understanding of cultural differences. It should also be noted that when institutions adopt a peace culture, establishing local and international organizations and putting up resources for various peace-building initiatives become possible. Educational intervention can effect changes in the minds of men and build a lasting and substantive foundation for peace based on justice and respect for human rights.

Shaping the future we want: UN decade of education for sustainable development (2005-2014); final report; summary Year of publication: 2014 Author: Carolee Buckler | Heather Creech Corporate author: UNESCO This summary for policy- and decision-makers provides a brief overview of the key findings and trends, a synopsis of highlights, challenges and actions across all levels and areas of education, and steps for scaling up actions presented in the UNESCO 2014 Global Monitoring and Evaluation Final Report, Shaping the Future We Want – UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014). The Final Report provides an assessment of progress towards embedding education for sustainable development (ESD) into education systems and into sustainable development efforts. Building on the findings of the past two DESD Global Monitoring and Evaluation reports, and based upon Member States’ and other stakeholders’ assessments of the current state of ESD, the Final Report maps the achievements and challenges of a decade of progress and action on ESD at the global, national, regional and local levels, and within all areas and levels of education. The Final Report concludes that a solid foundation has been laid for ESD at the end of the DESD, achieved by raising awareness, influencing policies and generating significant numbers of good practice projects in all areas of education and learning. At the end of 10 years of work, 10 key findings and trends have emerged that will guide ESD into the future. The report also shows that despite the successes, a full integration of ESD into education systems has yet to take place in most countries. Façonner l’avenir que nous voulons: Décennie des Nations Unies pour l’éducation au service du développement durable (2005-2014) RAPPORT FINAL Year of publication: 2014 Author: Carolee Buckler | Heather Creech Corporate author: UNESCO Destiné aux responsables politiques et aux décideurs, ce document résume les principales conclusions et les grandes tendances, présente une synthèse des points clés, des défis et des initiatives à tous les niveaux et dans tous les domaines de l’éducation, ainsi que les mesures à adopter pour intensifier les actions décrites dans le Rapport final de suivi et d’évaluation 2014, Façonner l’avenir que nous voulons − Décennie des Nations Unies pour l’éducation au service du développement durable (2005-2014). Le Rapport final de suivi et d’évaluation examine les progrès qui ont été accomplis afin d’intégrer l’Éducation au développement durable (EDD) aux systèmes éducatifs et aux efforts déployés en faveur du développement durable. À partir des conclusions des deux précédents rapports mondiaux de suivi et d’évaluation de la Décennie et de l’évaluation de l’état actuel de l’EDD par les États membres et autres parties prenantes, ce rapport final décrit les résultats obtenus et les problèmes rencontrés au terme de dix années de progrès et d’action sur le plan de l’EDD aux niveaux mondial, national, régional et local, ainsi que dans tous les domaines et à tous les niveaux de l’éducation. Le rapport note en conclusion qu’au terme de la Décennie, l’EDD repose désormais sur des fondements solides et ce, grâce à une prise de conscience renforcée, à l’influence exercée sur les politiques et à la réalisation d’un grand nombre de projets respectueux des bonnes pratiques dans tous les domaines de l’éducation et de l’apprentissage. Les dix conclusions et tendances clés qui se dégagent à l’issue de ces dix années de travail serviront à l’avenir de guide à l’EDD. Le rapport montre également qu’en dépit des progrès accomplis, dans la plupart des pays, l’EDD n’a toujours pas été pleinement intégrée aux systèmes éducatifs. 
Global Citizenship Education: Preparing Learners for the Challenges of the 21st Century Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: UNESCO The United Nations Secretary-General’s Global Education First Initiative (GEFI) has established education as a means to ‘foster global citizenship’ – one of its three priority areas. To support this, UNESCO organized two landmark meetings on GCE in 2013. This publication aims to define the parameters of GCE by using the collective expertise, experience and wisdom of those participants who gathered at these landmark events, and to plan for future action in line with emerging thinking and other ongoing work. The review establishes that GCE has a critical role to play in equipping learners with competencies to deal with the dynamic and interdependent world of the twenty-first century. While GCE has been applied in different ways in different contexts, regions and communities, it has a number of common elements, which include fostering in learners. In formal settings, GCE can be delivered as an integral part of an existing subject (such as civic or citizenship education, social studies, environmental studies, geography or culture), or as an independent subject area. Integrated models appear to be more common. Some less traditional, but at least as effective, pathways for GCE have included the following: the use of information and communication technologies and social media, sport competitions and the use of art and music, and youth-led initiatives employing a wide variety of approaches. Both traditional and new horizons for GCE are profiled in this review. This publication also explores a number of enabling conditions for the promotion and implementation of GCE. These include: the existence of an open environment for universal values, the implementation of transformative pedagogy and support for youth-led initiatives.The review acknowledges that there are a number of ongoing tensions with the concepts of global citizenship and global citizenship education. While these tensions vary, they all point to the fundamental question of how to promote universality (e.g. common and collective identity, interest, participation, duty), while respecting singularity (e.g. individual rights, self-improvement). Some ways forward to resolve these tensions are suggested, whilst maintaining that challenges around theoretical elements of GCE should not undermine its practice. The processes documented in this publication have strengthened partnerships, built coalitions and contributed to improving the evidence base on the theory and practice of global citizenship education. While there are tasks that remain, this foundation bodes well for improving the enabling conditions and the practices highlighted in this review. By preparing learners to fulfil their potential in an increasingly globalized world, we are promoting transformed societies that are also better equipped to deal with the twenty-first century challenges and to seize twenty-first century opportunities.
