Civil Society and Building a Democratic Civil State: A Political Approach Year of publication: 2016 Author: Tareq Ziad Abu Hazeem The purpose of this study is to find a foundation for the concepts of the 'civil society' and the 'civil state'. It examines and compares both from different dimensions: description, purpose, objectives, history, the reality of the civil society and finally, to what extent they are similar. Most discussion is about civil society and civil democratic state, including studies, discussions and arguments, because of their importance in the Arab countries. In addition, this discussion seeks to clarify the role of civil society in building a democratic civil state. The researcher uses the systems analysis to point out the relationship between how active the civil society is and the establishment of the democratic civil state. After collecting and analyzing related statistics, this study has shown how much the civil society, the concept of democracy, and the state are related. The three represent the most important channels of public participation. In addition, the activeness of the civil society increases opportunities of political participation, supports the values of democracy and citizenship, and enhances the sovereignty of law.The three are the major components of the civil state. The results have revealed a number of facts: (1) there is a strong positive relation between the reasons behind the establishment of an active civil society and the establishment of the democratic civil society. Furthermore, (2) the civil society, its institutions and organized units, its ability of social coordination have created a strong state with powerful active institutions and limited the dominance of the society's powers over individuals. This has created a democratic civil state. (3) Individual and communicative will, increasing the public awareness of the importance of modernization and development, as well as stimulating the role of the active civil society lead to the development of a simple state to a democratic one. The study concludes with a major recommendation: the classical concept of the modern state as an independent uni-center of an isolated social coordination should be abandoned for the civil social organizations.

"It is Very Painful to Talk About”: The Impact of Attacks on Education on Women and Girls Year of publication: 2019 Author: Holly Cartner Corporate author: Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack (GCPEA) This report presents the key findings of GCPEA’s multi-country study on the impact of attacks on education on women and girls.10 GCPEA’s research focuses on the types and causes of abuse most typically committed against female students in the context of attacks on education, and the long-term consequences that female students may face as a result of such attacks.11 GCPEA initiated this study to contribute to a better understanding of the implications for girls and women when education is attacked and to inform our advocacy for better strategies to protect girls and women, prevent attacks and abuse, and diminish harmful consequences against them.This report relies on previous GCPEA research, including Education Under Attack 2018 and 2014, and updates, and the organization’s field research in Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo, which focused specifically on the experiences of women and girls when education is attacked. In addition, the report draws from interviews with numerous country and regional experts and an extensive review of secondary data sources, including reports by United Nations (UN) agencies, development and humanitarian non-governmental organizations (NGOs), human rights organizations, government bodies, and think tanks, including numerous contributions from GCPEA’s member organizations. 
A School of Cosmopolitanism: Experiences with Global Citizenship Education in Classroom Practice Year of publication: 2019 Author: Heidi Grobbauer | Werner Wintersteiner Corporate author: Austrian Commission for UNESCO This publication focuses on examples from academic practice: this best practice collection demonstrates how young people can successfully be inspired to “think globally, act locally”. What is crucial is maintaining a view of the wider world; in particular, cooperation efforts with educational institutes outside of Europe (e.g. “élèves pour élèves” in Burkina Faso) provide a critical awareness of global connections. Learning to know/Learning to do/Learning to be/Learning to live together – these four pillars form the pedagogical foundation of the work carried out at more than 90 UNESCO schools throughout the whole of Austria. Since their founding in 1957, UNESCO schools have been considered model schools at which lessons are structured in a project-oriented, participative and even topic-specifc way. The unique ‘spirit’ of UNESCO schools often makes special projects possible. In the programme for the annual meetings of recent years, for example, Global Citizenship Education has been an ongoing topic of focus, accompanied by experts from various specialised institutions and NGOs. The pedagogical preparation of contents in a manner that ensures they are actually absorbed in the classroom presents a major challenge. Different types of schools have different educational goals, and the themes have to be made accessible for different age groups. The pedagogical finesse of each class team or individual teacher lies in finding the most motivating approaches. 
A Guide for Gender Equality in Teacher Education Policy and Practices Year of publication: 2015 Author: María C. Arango Restrepo | Esther Corona-Vargas Corporate author: UNESCO Transforming the culture of teacher education institutions and making them gender-sensitive entities is a daunting task. However, it is not an impossible task. Understanding gender and applying gender mainstreaming are critical foundations for fostering social cohesion that goes beyond teacher education institutions and the school. Teachers are increasingly expected to play crucial roles in preparing young people to face the future with confidence, purpose, responsibility and gender sensitivity. Teacher education institutions must be ready to provide the enabling environment and training and continuing education for the development of knowledge, values, skills and gender-responsive practices that the teachers need in the 21st century.This Guide, through its ten Modules, takes the reader through step by step on how gender can be mainstreamed in all areas of teacher education and training: from policy and planning, administration and management, gender-responsive budgeting, social services, the environment, curriculum, pedagogy, research, and to advocacy. Through this Guide, teacher educators are also reminded what teachers must know and be able to do in order to promote gender equality through education. The Modules can be used individually or comprehensively depending on the situation and context of countries.This Guide is dedicated to all teacher educators, whose intellectual rigour and tireless efforts to foster enabling environments for inclusive and gender sensitive education, are indispensable for success in continuing education.
