Learning to live together: education for conflict resolution, responsible citizenship, human rights and humanitarian norms Year of publication: 2013 Author: Margaret Sinclair Corporate author: Education Above All (Qatar) Education cannot offer immediate remedies to the local and global problems that we see on the news screens every day, but it can contribute to solving them over the longer term. This book examines specifically the contribution that education for learning to live together can make, even in countries where teacher training and classroom resources are limited. Many countries have diverse populations (ethnic, linguistic, religious, etc) and seek to maintain harmony among the different groups. In some countries, however, especially where economic stress or climate change have intensified arguments over resources, tensions have led to armed conflict. This brings with it all the misery of death, injury, displacement and poverty, along with disruption of education systems. In some instances education itself has been a contributory factor to the outbreak of conflict, notably through unequal education opportunities for different groups, and through biased school curricula.Civil conflict has brought untold suffering in recent years, and in a globalised world it has negative spill-over effects to neighbouring and other countries. It is vital to develop education policies and curricular reforms that can help convey values and skills for learning to live together to young people, to help lessen tensions, within and between countries.Education policy-makers can help lay the foundations for a better future by adjusting the content and process of education to reflect skills and values for human rights, humanitarian norms, peaceful resolution of conflicts, sustainable development and other issues as elements of local, national and global citizenship.Education reform is not enough, of course, to resolve the numerous problems of our times. The focus of this volume is on the contribution that can be made through aligning the content of education to the goal of learning to live together. This work will have greater impact when it takes place within education systems and policies that are consistent with human rights values and of course when other sectors besides education make their respective contributions.This book shows that transformative education for conflict resolution and peace, for local, national and global citizenship, for human rights and humanitarian values can be implemented even under difficult conditions if there is a policy commitment to do so. Authors have provided examples and lessons learned from their own experiences as eminent practitioners in the field.
Learning to live together: education for conflict resolution, responsible citizenship, human rights and humanitarian norms Year of publication: 2013 Author: Margaret Sinclair Corporate author: Education Above All (Qatar) L'éducation ne peut offrir des remèdes immédiats aux problèmes locaux et mondiaux que nous voyons sur les écrans d'information tous les jours, mais elle peut contribuer à les résoudre sur le long terme. Ce livre examine spécifiquement la contribution que l'éducation peut apporter pour vivre ensemble même dans les pays où la formation des enseignants et les ressources en classe sont limitées.De nombreux pays ont des populations diverses (ethniques, linguistiques, religieuses, etc.) cherchent à maintenir l'harmonie entre les différents groupes. Dans certains pays, cependant, en particulier lorsque le stress économique ou les changements climatiques ont intensifié les arguments sur les ressources, les tensions ont conduit à des conflits armés. Cela apporte avec elle toute la misère de la mort, les blessures, le déplacement et la pauvreté, ainsi que la perturbation des systèmes éducatifs. Dans certains cas, l'éducation elle-même a été un facteur contributif à l'éclatement du conflit, notamment grâce à des possibilités d'éducation inégales pour les différents groupes, et à travers les programmes scolaires biaisés.La guerre civile a causé des souffrances indicibles au cours des dernières années, et dans un monde globalisé, il a des effets négatifs de débordement vers les pays voisins et d'autres pays. Il est essentiel d'élaborer des politiques de l'éducation et la réforme des programmes qui peuvent aider à transmettre les valeurs et les compétences pour apprendre à vivre ensemble pour les jeunes, pour aider à réduire les tensions, à l'intérieur et entre les pays.Education décideurs politiques peuvent aider à jeter les bases d'un avenir meilleur en ajustant le contenu et le processus de l'éducation afin de refléter les compétences et les valeurs des droits de l'homme, des normes humanitaires, la résolution pacifique des conflits, le développement durable et d'autres questions comme éléments de local, national et citoyenneté mondiale.Réforme de l'éducation ne suffit pas, bien sûr, de résoudre les nombreux problèmes de notre temps. L'objectif de ce volume est sur la contribution qui peut être faite par le biais d'aligner le contenu de l'éducation à l'objectif d'apprendre à vivre ensemble. Ce travail aura un plus grand impact quand il a lieu au sein des systèmes et politiques d'éducation qui sont conformes aux valeurs des droits de l'homme et bien sûr, quand d'autres secteurs en dehors de l'éducation font leurs contributions respectives.Ce livre montre que l'éducation transformatrice pour la résolution des conflits et la paix, à la citoyenneté locale, nationale et mondiale, des droits de l'homme et des valeurs humanitaires peut être appliqué même dans des conditions difficiles, s'il y a un engagement politique de le faire. Les auteurs ont fourni des exemples et les enseignements tirés de leurs propres expériences en tant que praticiens éminents dans le domaine.
Education for Sustainable Development Guidance: Executive Summary Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) | Advance HE How was the guidance developed?In March 2021, QAA and Advance HE launched revised guidance intended to help UK higher education institutions incorporate ESD within their curricula, following on from the first edition in 2014.QAA and Advance HE brought together a group of experts representing academic, business and student communities, with the aim of supporting all students to acquire the skills necessary to develop values and take actions to transition society towards a sustainable future. The guidance gives advice and support on curriculum design, as well as teaching, learning and assessment approaches.Who is the guidance for?This guidance is primarily aimed at staff involved in curriculum design and course management and delivery, to support them in designing ESD into their courses. However, it is also likely to be of value to senior management teams, those with responsibility for quality assurance and enhancement, and staff involved in directing teaching and learning. It may also prove useful to staff responsible for extracurricular activities.How to access the guidanceAn Executive Summary provides an overview of the content, with the full guidance available for any staff member or student at a QAA Member institution on our Membership Resources Site.

Vivir con la controversia: Cómo enseñar temas controvertidos mediante la Educación para la ciudadanía y los derechos humanos (EDC/HRE) Módulo de formación para el profesorado Year of publication: 2015 Corporate author: European Union (EU) Learning how to engage in dialogue with people whose values are different from one’s own and to respect them is central to the democratic process and essential for the protection and strengthening of democracy and fostering a culture of human rights. ■ Yet in Europe young people do not often have an opportunity to discuss controversial issues in school because they are seen as too challenging to teach, e.g., issues to do with extremism, gender violence, child abuse, or sexual orientation. Unable to voice their concerns, unaware of how others feel or left to rely on friends and social media for their information, young people can be frustrated or confused about some of the major issues which affect their communities and European society today. In the absence of help from school, they might have no reliable means of dealing with these issues constructively and no one to guide them. ■ The idea for this Pack came out of a call from policy-makers and practitioners in a number of European countries for more effective training for teachers in the teaching of controversial issues.
