Notre diversité créatrice: rapport de la commission mondiale de la culture et du développement Year of publication: 1996 Corporate author: World Commission on Culture and Development This report is designed to address a diversified audience across the world that ranges from community activists, field workers, artists and scholars to government officials and politicians. We want it to inform the world’s opinion leaders and to guide its policy-makers. We want it to capture the attention of the world’s intellectual and artistic communities, as well as the general public. We aim to have shown them how culture shapes all our thinking, imagining and behaviour. It is the transmission of behaviour as well as a dynamic source for change, creativity, freedom and the awakening of innovative opportunities. For groups and societies, culture is energy, inspiration and empowerment, as well as the knowledge and acknowledgment of diversity: if cultural diversity is ‘behind us, around us and before us”, as Claude L&i-Strauss put it, we must learn how to let it lead not to the clash of cultures, but to their fruitful coexistence and to intercultural harmony. Just as in the tasks of building peace and consolidating democratic values, an indivisible set of goals, so too economic and political rights cannot be realized separately from social and cultural rights. The challenge to humanity is to adopt new ways of thinking, new ways of acting, new ways of organizing itself in society, in short, new ways of living. The challenge is also to promote different paths of development, informed by a recognition of how cultural factors shape the way in which societies conceive their own futures and choose the means to attain these futures. I have for some time been concerned with the “culture of peace”. There is now considerable evidence that neglect of human development has been one of the principal causes of wars and internal armed conflicts, and that these, in turn, retard human development. With government complicity and with the intention of raising export receipts, private businesses continue to sell advanced military technology, nuclear materials and equipment for the production of bacteriological and chemical warfare. The concept of state sovereignty which still prevails today has increasingly come under scrutiny. In the area of peace-keeping, the distinction between external aggression and internal oppression is often unrealistic. The predominant threat to stability are violent conflicts within countries and not between them. There is an urgent need to strengthen international human rights law. Many of the most serious troubles come from within states – either because of ethnic strife or repressive measures by governments. Conditions that lead to tyranny and large-scale violations of human rights at home sooner or later are likely to spill over into a search for enemies abroad. The temptation of repressive states to export internal difficulties is great. Consider the Soviet Union’s invasion of Hungary and Czechoslovakia after it had used domestic oppression and the persistent refusal - for many years - of the previous South African governments to grant independence to Namibia. An ounce of prevention is better than a ton of punishment. 
Tenir nos engagements en faveur de l'égalité des genres dans l'éducation: Rapport mondial de suivi sur l'éducation, résumé sur l'égalité des genres 2018 Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: UNESCO Le Cadre d’action Éducation 2030, outil qui vise à aider la communauté internationale à atteindre l’ODD 4 sur l’éducation, reconnaît explicitement l’égalité des genres comme principe directeur lié à la réalisation du droit à l’éducation. Il stipule clairement que les filles et les garçons, les femmes et les hommes, doivent bénéficier des mêmes possibilités « dans et par l’éducation ».Dans ce sixième résumé sur l’égalité des genres, qui fait partie d’une série qui a commencé en 2011, l’équipe du Rapport mondial de suivi sur l’éducation reste concentrée sur une large conception de l’égalité des genres, qui va au-delà du simple comptage du nombre de filles et de garçons dans les classes. La première partie du résumé examine les disparités en matière de participation et de compétences, aux postes à responsabilité des secteurs éducatif et politique et dans certains aspects des infrastructures et des programmes scolaires. Elle examine également les questions liées au genre dans le cadre de la formation professionnelle, en explorant le rôle de l’éducation dans trois autres ODD concernant l’agriculture, la santé, et l’eau et l’assainissement.La deuxième partie du résumé analyse les institutions, les lois et les politiques afin d’explorer des manières de déterminer et de faire appliquer le principe de responsabilité pour l’égalité des genres dans l’éducation. 
One in Five Children, Adolescents and Youth is Out of School (UIS Fact Sheet No. 48) Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) This fact sheet presents the latest UIS data on education available as of February 2018.Three years after the adoption of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) and the promise to provide universal primary and secondary education, there has been no progress in reducing the global number of out-of-school children, adolescents and youth. As the SDG 4–Education 2030 Steering Committee meets in Paris, the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) has released this fact sheet, highlighting trends at the global and regional levels, to inform discussions and provide stakeholders with the data needed to target policies, strategies and resources to get all children, adolescents and youth in school and learning. 
Thinkpiece on education and conflict Year of publication: 2009 Author: Lynn Davies Corporate author: UNESCO This paper looks first at the learning sites generally (violent schools, schools as a weapon of war, curriculum and textbooks). It then focuses on specific groups in conflict – gender, language, refugees, child soldiers. Thirdly it discusses education policy and donor intervention; and finally talks of the role of research. All these overlap hugely. This is not a prescription for how the Global Monitoring Report should be structured, but identification of themes and lessons learned that seem the most significant. Pensez pièce sur l'éducation et les conflits Year of publication: 2009 Author: Lynn Davies Corporate author: UNESCO Ce document examine d'abord les sites d'apprentissage en général (écoles violentes, les écoles comme une arme de guerre, programmes et manuels). Elle se concentre ensuite sur des groupes spécifiques dans les conflits - le sexe, la langue, les réfugiés, les enfants soldats. Troisièmement, il discute de la politique de l'éducation et de l'intervention des bailleurs de fonds; et, enfin, parle du rôle de la recherche. Tous ces chevauchent énormément. Ce n'est pas une prescription pour la façon dont le rapport Suivi mondial devrait être structuré, mais l'identification des thèmes et des leçons apprises qui semblent les plus importants. 
Global Citizenship Education: A Guide for Policymakers Year of publication: 2017 Author: Swee-Hin Toh | Gary Shaw | Danilo Padilla Corporate author: APCEIU In order to assist UNESCO Member States to integrate and strengthen Global Citizenship Education (GCED) in national education policies, strategies and plans to achieve SDG Target 4.7 effectively, the Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding (APCEIU) has developed and published Global Citizenship Education: A Guide for Policymakers (hereafter referred to as the Guide).The Guide is mainly divided into two parts. Part 1 provides an overview of GCED, including the following three sections: the background to GCED; the rationale for GCED; and the concept of GCED. In Part 2, various selection strategies which allow each country to incorporate GCED into its current education system aligned with its own priorities and context, were divided and suggested into five major policy areas as follow: policy review and development; curriculum review and development; capacity building; knowledge creation; sharing and dissemination; and monitoring and assessment.The Guide was first published in English and Korean and additional translations will be available in the future in other languages, including French and Arabic to provide access to more readers worldwide. We hope that the Guide will provide an opportunity for policymakers and practitioners to share their experiences and insights. 세계시민교육 정책 개발을 위한 가이드 Year of publication: 2017 Author: Swee-Hin Toh | Gary Shaw | Danilo Padilla Corporate author: APCEIU 유네스코 아시아태평양 국제이해교육원은 유네스코 회원국이 국가 교육정책에 세계시민교육을 반영하고 이를 통해 지속가능발전목표 4.7을 효과적으로 달성하는 것을 돕기 위해 『세계시민교육 정책 개발을 위한 가이드(Global Citizenship Education: A Guide for Policymakers)』를 개발ㆍ출간하였다.본 가이드는 크게 두 부분으로 나뉜다. 첫 번째 장에서는 세계시민교육의 배경과 논리, 그리고 개념을 차례로 살펴봄으로써 세계시민교육을 개괄하고자 하였다. 그리고 두 번째 장에서는 각국이 자신의 우선적 목표와 맥락에 맞게 세계시민교육을 현행 교육 시스템에 반영할 수 있도록 하는 다양한 선별적 전략들을 정책 검토ㆍ개발, 교육과정 검토ㆍ개발, 역량 강화, 지식의 창출ㆍ공유ㆍ확산, 모니터링 및 평가 등의 5가지 주요 정책 영역으로 나누어 제시하고자 하였다.본 가이드는 영어와 한국어로 우선 출간되었으며, 향후 전 세계의 더 많은 독자들에게 접근성을 제공하기 위하여 프랑스어와 아랍어를 포함한 다른 언어로도 추가 번역될 예정이다. 모쪼록 본 가이드가 정책입안자들과 실천가들에게 서로의 경험과 통찰을 나누는 계기를 제공할 수 있기를 바란다. Dialogue interculturel: impliquer les jeunes dans le monde entier Year of publication: 2010 Author: Elizabeth Khawajkie Corporate author: UNESCO | DAIMLER It is hoped that this review will help to highlight why there is a persistent call for the continuation of such endeavors, like Mondialogo, which promoted dialogue among cultures and people, mutual respect and understanding so effectively. The Mondialogo journey, begun as an exploratory exercise, ended with compelling and often moving experiences.
