Education à la citoyenneté et aux droits de l'homme: manuel pour les jeunes en Mauritanie Year of publication: 2015 Author: Abdel-Wedoud (dit Deddoud Ould Abdallah) | Mohamed El Moctar Ould Sidina | Bamariam Koita | Sidi Mohamed Ould Mohamed Abdellahi Corporate author: Mauritania. Ministère de la culture et de l'artisanat | Mauritanian National Commission for Education, Science and Culture | UNESCO Rabat Ce Manuel, composé de 20 fiches thématiques, offre de manière inédite des connaissances sur les conventions et standards internationaux en matière de démocratie et de droits de l’homme, ainsi qu’une contextualisation aux cadres normatifs nationaux de la Mauritanie. Des questions clés, des exercices interactifs, et des références pour aller plus loin sont autant d’outils pédagogiques pour familiariser les jeunes avec des notions fondamentales, dans le cadre de l’éducation aussi formelle que non formelle. Car Si l’éducation à la citoyenneté est rattachée à un territoire national dans la mesure où est citoyenne toute personne disposant de droits et de devoirs attachés à une nationalité, à un État, à une histoire sociale et culturelle, l’éducation aux droits de l’homme se réfère quant à elle à un cadre normatif universel et déterritorialisé : sa mission est de cultiver le sentiment d’appartenance de chacun(e) à l’humanité, caractérisée par une dignité propre. Dans une démarche éducative, ce Manuel conjugue les deux dimensions, les interpé- nètre et les met en perspective. L’objectif est de permettre aux jeunes, avec l’aide de formateurs et d’animateurs, d’approfondir et de mettre en perspective leurs connaissances relatives aux valeurs de citoyenneté et aux principes de droits de l’homme, à travers un va-et vient constant entre l’idéal universel et le contexte politique, social, culturel et environnemental dans lequel ils se trouvent.Fruit de la collaboration entre l’UNESCO et le Ministère de la Culture et de l’Artisanat de Mauritanie, et bénéficiant du soutien de l’Agence espagnole pour la coopération internationale pour le développement (AECID), ce Manuel propose des pistes pour explorer et interroger les conditions d’exercice de la citoyenneté, ainsi que des problématiques sociétales émergeantes. Mieux comprendre, pour mieux agir, c’est aussi cela être un agent de changement, de paix et de développement.

Rethinking Schooling for the 21st Century: The State of Education for Peace, Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship in Asia Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development (MGIEP) Calls to gear up schools for the 21st century are ubiquitous today. Dominant international educational discourse hails the potential of 'the youth dividend' and digital technology for enhancing growth. Some Asian education systems are held up as models for an innovation-led utopian future. But across much of Asia, neither the reality of schooling nor the patterns of development with which it is associated give cause for blithe optimism.This study is informed by UNESCO’s commitment to realising the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through educational reform worldwide. Since its inception, UNESCO has championed a humanistic vision of education — a vision today encapsulated in SDG 4.7. These ideals need to be strongly restated and defended in an era when educational debate worldwide has come to be framed by a narrowly economistic and instrumentalist agenda.Deriving urgent significance from this broader context, the present report analyses how far the ideals of SDG 4.7 – of 'education for peace, sustainable development and global citizenship' - are embodied in policies and curricula across 22 Asian societies. At one level, it seeks to develop benchmarks against which future progress can be assessed. It also argues forcefully that conceptions of the fundamental purposes of schooling need to be reconfigured, if the ideals to which the global community has subscribed are actually to be realised. 
Recommendation on Education for Peace, Human Rights and Sustainable Development: An Implementation Guide Year of publication: 2025 Corporate author: UNESCO There is no peace without education. With conflicts rising on so many fronts, there has never been a more urgent need for a transformed education geared towards building and sustaining peace.The Recommendation on Education for Peace and Human Rights, International Understanding, Cooperation, Fundamental Freedoms, Global Citizenship and Sustainable Development, adopted by all 194 Member States of UNESCO in 2023, articulates a humanistic and transformative vision of education that can help address contemporary and future affronts to peace. These challenges range from the resurgence of conflicts driven by systemic inequalities and injustices, the rise and spread of hate speech, racism and discrimination particularly online, to the adverse effects of digital technologies and the existential threat of climate change.UNESCO has developed this Guide as the first of several tools to assist Member States in unpacking and fully implementing the 2023 Recommendation. The Guide elaborates its contents, integrating the 2023 Recommendation’s transdisciplinary lens to connect key concepts and issues. It also provides concrete ideas and curated resources for action at different levels and types of education, while calling for a multi-stakeholder and whole-of-society approach that includes everyone and builds on existing positive efforts.The Guide is a timely addition to the pool of available collective resources to fully implement the 2023 Recommendation and foster an education that is transformative for a just and peaceful world.
