Ten Clues for Rethinking Curriculum (In-Progress Reflection; No. 42, 2021) Year of publication: 2021 Author: Renato Opertti Corporate author: UNESCO International Bureau of Education (IBE) This discussion document highlights the urgency of rethinking curriculum in light of reinforcing the commitments of the Education 2030 Agenda on learning, disruptive systemic worldwide societal changes, and crucially, the profound transformation of education and education systems post Covid-19. Curriculum is always at the core of giving effect to social aspirations and ideals on the why, what, how, when, and where of teaching, learning, and assessing. We propose a series of 10 interconnected clues to deepen on the systemic and holistic understanding of curriculum as contributing to lay foundations for a better, sustainable and fair future. These clues are: understanding the new generations; combatting factors related to vulnerability; reinforcing understanding between school and families; deepening glo-local education; enhancing the focus on the person; promoting synergies among values; valuing diversity; focusing on education that enhances freedom; moving toward hybrid modes of education; and inspiring affection for educators. 
Global citizenship: a typology for distinguishing its multiple conceptions Year of publication: 2013 Author: Laura Oxley | Paul Morris Corporate author: Society for Educational Studies | Taylor & Francis The promotion of ‘Global Citizenship’ (GC) has emerged as a goal of schooling in many countries, symbolising a shift away from national towards more global conceptions of citizenship. It currently incorporates a proliferation of approaches and terminologies, mirroring both the diverse conceptions of its nature and the socio-politico contexts within which it is appropriated. This paper seeks to clarify this ambiguity by constructing a typology to identify and distinguish the diverse conceptions of GC. The typology is based on two general forms of GC: cosmopolitan based and advocacy based. The former incorporates four distinct conceptions of GC – namely, the political, moral, economic and cultural; the latter incorporates four other conceptions – namely, the social, critical, environmental and spiritual. Subsequently, we briefly illustrate how the typology can be used to evaluate the critical features of a curriculum plan designed to promote GC in England. The typology provides a novel and powerful means to analyse the key features of the very diverse range of educational policies and programmes that promote GC. La Citoyenneté Mondiale: une typologie pour distinguer ses multiples conceptions Year of publication: 2013 Author: Laura Oxley | Paul Morris Corporate author: Society for Educational Studies | Taylor & Francis La promotion de la «Citoyenneté Mondiale» (CM) a émergé comme un objectif de scolarisation dans de nombreux pays, symbolisant l'abandon des nationaux vers des conceptions plus globales de la citoyenneté. Il intègre actuellement une prolifération d'approches et terminologies, reflétant à la fois les diverses conceptions de la nature et les contextes socio-politico au sein duquel il est approprié. Ce document vise à clarifier cette ambiguïté en construisant une typologie pour identifier et distinguer les diverses conceptions de la CM. La typologie est basée sur deux formes générales de CM: cosmopolite base et sur la base de plaidoyer. L'ancien incorpore quatre conceptions distinctes de CM - à savoir la politique, morale, économique et culturelle; celui-ci comporte quatre autres conceptions - à savoir, le spirituel sociale, critique, de l'environnement et. Par la suite, nous illustrons brièvement comment la typologie peut être utilisé pour évaluer les caractéristiques essentielles d'un plan de programme conçu pour promouvoir la CM en Angleterre. La typologie fournit une nouvelle et des moyens puissants pour analyser les principales caractéristiques de la gamme très diversifiée de politiques et de programmes éducatifs qui favorisent la CM.
