A rich philosophical and theoretical tradition does however exist.

Reimagining Life Skills and Citizenship Education in the Middle East and North Africa: A Four-Dimensional and Systems Approach to 21st Century Skills; Conceptual and Programmatic Framework Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: UNICEF Middle East and North Africa The situation of learning in MENA calls for a holistic, lifelong and rights-based vision of education that maximizes the potential of all children and youth in the region and better equips them to create meaning out of knowledge and to face the transitions from childhood to adulthood, from education to work, and from unreflective development to responsible and active citizenship. This is what drives the MENA Life Skills and Citizenship Education (LSCE) Initiative, kicked off in 2015 with the aim of supporting the countries of the region – conceptually, programmatically and technically – to improve learning and to better invest such learning in individual, social and economic development.The LSCE Conceptual and Programmatic Framework (CPF) puts forth a roadmap to guide policies, strategies and programmes on life skills and citizenship education supporting the region-wide efforts to provide children and youth with opportunities to learn, transition from childhood to adulthood, move from school to work settings, and become responsible and active citizens of their communities.A set of twelve core life skills for MENA has been identified using the four-dimensional learning model: ‘Learning to Know’ (Cognitive Dimension), ‘Learning to Do’ (Instrumental Dimension), ‘Learning to Be’ (Individual Dimension), and ‘Learning to Live Together’ (Social Dimension). The twelve core life skills are life-long, and they build on evidence that underlines the importance of skills acquisition from an early age. Furthermore, the twelve core life skills are acquired and sustained through all forms of learning in a systems approach that recognizes multiple pathways of learning, formal, non-formal and informal. Réimaginer l’éducation aux compétences de vie et à la citoyenneté au Moyen-Orient et en Afrique du Nord : Une approche à quatre dimensions et systémique des compétences pour le XXIe siècle ; Cadre programmatique et conceptuel Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: UNICEF Middle East and North Africa L’Initiative pour l’éducation aux compétences de vie et à la citoyenneté de la région MENA (LSCE) représente un effort de collaboration étatique et régional en faveur de la réalisation de l’objectif de développement durable (ODD) 4 – Assurer l’accès de tous à une éducation de qualité, sur un pied d’égalité, et promouvoir les possibilités d’apprentissage tout au long de la vie. Elle cherche à reformuler la compréhension traditionnelle de l’éducation aux compétences de vie et à la citoyenneté dans la région, tout en rappelant les questions fondamentales au sujet du but et du rôle de l’éducation dans le développement sociétal qui sont pertinentes dans le contexte actuel.L’Initiative LSCE se concentre sur trois défis interdépendants :Une société du savoir inaccessible, résultat de la mauvaise qualité de l’éducation, du bas niveau des résultats scolaires et d’une équité et inclusion limitées.Une croissance économique en déclin, résultat d’un manque d’aptitudes à l’employabilité, du haut taux de chômage chez les jeunes, de l’inégalité des sexes face à l’accès au marché du travail, du manque de création d’emplois, et d’un environnement économique faible.Une faible cohésion sociale, résultat de l’escalade de la violence et de la radicalisation tout autant que d’un faible engagement civique.
