Creating Global Citizens: The AFS Effect Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: AFS Intercultural Programs The AFS global community has countless testimonials of how our alumni, students, volunteers, families, and others are making a positive change in their communities. These stories are a true inspiration and a testament to the important impact our organization is creating worldwide. Our hope is that our exchange students become changemakers through their study abroad experience with significant contributions to the global corporate and non-profit sectors, while benefiting from the intercultural learnings and meaningful connections long after they return home. All AFS participants are active global citizens in the making, representing their countries as cultural ambassadors, each helping drive the AFS mission forward - the mission of building a more just and peaceful world.While the impact of AFS and studying abroad in general have been examined in the past through various research projects, this report is the first large-scale, global survey of the AFS alumni community based on responses from over 10,500 former AFS participants. It aims to explore the effect an AFS experience can have on the lives and careers of our alumni while investigating the impact of secondary school mobility globally. The study also includes real-life examples from our former participants of changes alumni can bring to their local communities thereby furthering the AFS mission worldwide. The results of this global survey demonstrate that AFS alumni are making an impact across industries, working on social causes, and contributing to their home and host countries alike. That is what we call the #AFSEffect. 
How to Hit a Moving Target: 35 Years of Gender and Sexual Diversity in Teacher Education Year of publication: 2019 Author: Lee Airton | Austen Koecher This essay shares findings from an exhaustive review of the English-language published scholarship on integrating gender and sexual diversity in teacher education (GSDTE) since 1982. The 158 sources substantiate a largely USA-based field with an array of studied pedagogies and a citational reliance on statistics that reveal the school-sited suffering of gender and sexual minority youth. Implications for the field are shared, including: critical questions about the field's construction, objects and beneficiaries; the importance of citing GSDTE and teacher education research and not only youth outcome research; and preparing teachers for gender and sexual diversities that are presently unimaginable. Highlights • A review of the literature on integrating gender and sexual diversity in teacher education.• There is a citational reliance on the school-sited suffering of gender and sexual minority youth.• It is important to cite GSDTE and teacher education research and not only youth outcome research.• This will help prepare teachers for gender and sexual diversities that are presently unimaginable. 
Entre el reloj y la brújula: desafíos en la garantía del derecho a la educación y al aprendizajede personas jóvenes y adultas en América Latina y el Caribe; documento de trabajo Year of publication: 2019 Author: Henry Renna Corporate author: UNESCO Santiago Este documento tiene por objetivo proporcionar una visión general de la educación y del aprendizaje de personas jóvenes y adultas como derecho humano y social. Los instrumentos de derecho vinculante y no vinculante que la sustentan son históricos y de larga data, como también contingentes, amplios y extensos en su alcance, con presencia regional e internacional. El documento muestra —sobre la base de los Indicadores del Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible 4 (ODS 4 Agenda 2030)— que los principales desafíos para los países de América Latina y el Caribe tienen relación con la lentitud de los progresos (el desafío del reloj) dejando a muchas y muchos jóvenes y adultos al margen de oportunidades educativas, de conocimientos, habilidades y aptitudes, y privados de alcanzar el bienestar integral. Este informe también sostiene —basado en los informes nacionales del Tercer Reporte Global de Educación y Aprendizaje de Adultos— que muchos desafíos están vinculados con la dirección de las políticas (el desafío de la brújula), con sentidos reduccionistas y homogeneizadores detrás de las instituciones y de la acción pública, lo que precariza y fragiliza la garantía del derecho a la educación y al aprendizaje de las personas jóvenes y adultas. Este documento es consistente con el llamado de la UNESCO a «repensar la educación» e invita a reconstruir en el siglo XXI un mundo y una educación sin muros, donde se difuminen las fronteras mentales e institucionales que reducen, dividen y aislan los sistemas educativos, con el fin de liberar su poder transformador para todos y todas.
