GCED: Taking It Local in Asia-Pacific; A Regional Study on GCED Localization and Challenges Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: UNESCO Bangkok Global Citizenship Education (GCED) is often interpreted in theoretical ways, which may make GCED difficult for laypeople to understand from a local perspective. However, notions of GCED are deeply rooted in the cultures of the Asia-Pacific region and are very much related to daily life experiences.In the “Asia-Pacific Regional GCED Network 2018 Jakarta Meeting Final Report”, “Contextualize GCED in Asia-Pacific while keeping in mind the global view” has been identified as one of the actions needed for facilitating GCED implementation. Thus, this study attempts to link the concept of GCED with localized ideologies by showing some examples of the way GCED is understood in different cultural contexts in the Asia and Pacific region. 
Educational Content up Close Examining the Learning Dimensions of Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship Education Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: UNESCO In taking ESD and GCED forward, UNESCO seeks to advance a holistic approach to education that emphasizes three inter-related dimensions of learning – the cognitive, social and emotional and behavioural.This publication summarizes the findings of a study commissioned by UNESCO to examine if and how these three dimensions of learning and teaching of ESD and GCED are reflected in pre-primary, primary and secondary educational content (ie. national laws, policies and the intended curriculum) in Costa Rica, Japan, Kenya, Lebanon, Mexico, Morocco, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Rwanda and Sweden. The outcome of this work shows a major pattern of commitment to the three learning dimensions in the selected countries and across the four education levels, with noteworthy nuances between ESD and GCED. 
International Education Course Year of publication: 2019 Author: Juan Ignacio Martínez de Morentin | Concepción Medrano Corporate author: UNESCO Chair in Communication and Educational Values UNESCO understands international education as a process resulting from international understanding, cooperation, peace and global citizenship education. This results from combining three perspectives: the first, human rights--in a strict sense--the second, fundamental liberties--stressing its possibilities and requirements--and the third, the United Nations system--understanding the way in which it is committed to achieving peace.International education is education for international understanding. This understanding must impregnate all of its educational systems, actions and materials. It is not a separate course. Instead, it must be present in all courses. International education or education for international understanding is the entire programme, the motivation behind any teaching & learning process. This course explains ideas and models that UNESCO has worked with in order to clarify what it aims for in education. This is seen through the resolutions of the general conferences and the Executive Board decisions, which are UNESCO´s framework in defining international education. 
Establishing a Monitoring System for Global Citizenship Education in South Korea: A Preliminary Study with a Focus on Policy Area Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: APCEIU The Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding published a report titled "Establishing a Monitoring System for Global Citizenship Education in South Korea: A Preliminary Study with a Focus on Policy Area." The purpose of this research report is to provide implications for the development of indicators for Global Citizenship Education (GCED) which is the target 4.7 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the establishment of a Korean monitoring system for data accumulation. It is difficult for GCED to set up common indicators to monitor the implementation of each country, as it comprehensively deals with the direction and contents of education, whereas other targets of SDG4 are relatively clear targets and goals such as guaranteeing educational opportunities and improving educational conditions. For this reason, this study proposed Korean indicators based on domestic and international trends and analysis of issues concerning the development of SDG4.7.1 indicators and reviewed the domestic status in implementation based on them, thereby contributing to the development and consolidation of global indicators development and monitoring systems in the future.
