Educação para a cidadania global: preparando alunos para os desafios do século XXI Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: UNESCO The United Nations Secretary-General’s Global Education First Initiative (GEFI) has established education as a means to ‘foster global citizenship’ – one of its three priority areas. To support this, UNESCO organized two landmark meetings on GCE in 2013. This publication aims to define the parameters of GCE by using the collective expertise, experience and wisdom of those participants who gathered at these landmark events, and to plan for future action in line with emerging thinking and other ongoing work. The review establishes that GCE has a critical role to play in equipping learners with competencies to deal with the dynamic and interdependent world of the twenty-first century. While GCE has been applied in different ways in different contexts, regions and communities, it has a number of common elements, which include fostering in learners. In formal settings, GCE can be delivered as an integral part of an existing subject (such as civic or citizenship education, social studies, environmental studies, geography or culture), or as an independent subject area. Integrated models appear to be more common. Some less traditional, but at least as effective, pathways for GCE have included the following: the use of information and communication technologies and social media, sport competitions and the use of art and music, and youth-led initiatives employing a wide variety of approaches. Both traditional and new horizons for GCE are profiled in this review. This publication also explores a number of enabling conditions for the promotion and implementation of GCE. These include: the existence of an open environment for universal values, the implementation of transformative pedagogy and support for youth-led initiatives. The review acknowledges that there are a number of ongoing tensions with the concepts of global citizenship and global citizenship education. While these tensions vary, they all point to the fundamental question of how to promote universality (e.g. common and collective identity, interest, participation, duty), while respecting singularity (e.g. individual rights, self-improvement). Some ways forward to resolve these tensions are suggested, whilst maintaining that challenges around theoretical elements of GCE should not undermine its practice. The processes documented in this publication have strengthened partnerships, built coalitions and contributed to improving the evidence base on the theory and practice of global citizenship education. While there are tasks that remain, this foundation bodes well for improving the enabling conditions and the practices highlighted in this review. By preparing learners to fulfil their potential in an increasingly globalized world, we are promoting transformed societies that are also better equipped to deal with the twenty-first century challenges and to seize twenty-first century opportunities. 
Water and peace for the people: possible solutions to water disputes in the Middle East Year of publication: 2008 Corporate author: UNESCO This book proposes practical and objective solutions to the entrenched water conflicts in the Middle East. The author reveals and clarifies the complexity of the water conflicts, drawing on years of experience facilitating and chairing water negotiations in the region. The bottom line is: Unless the countries involved co-operate, the consequences will be devastating. The lack of plentiful and clean water for the people will not only result in severe human suffering, but could also have grave geopolitical consequences. 
A Comparative Study on Global Citizenship Education between Korea and ASEAN Year of publication: 2015 Corporate author: Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation (KICE) This research is the second-year study for a three-year project (2013-2015) focused on the global citizenship education of ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations). In the first-year study (2013), the current global citizenship education presented in the social studies curriculum of each country was analyzed based on literature research, and the global citizenship of students from each country was examined through surveys. Based on the analysis of the current global citizenship education of Korea and ASEAN overall and the characteristics of global citizenship of students from each country, this study is designed to make an in-depth analysis of global citizenship education and to seek direction for the joint global citizenship education programs between Korea and ASEAN to be employed in the third-year research.The students from the two countries, Indonesia and Thailand, among the 10 ASEAN countries are selected as participants because these two countries also participated in the previous international comparison study. The purposes of this study are as follows; (1) comparing the current global citizenship education of the national-level curriculum of Korea, Indonesia, and Thailand, (2) finding the similarities and differences by analysing the characteristics of global citizenship education of Korean, Indonesian, and Thai students, and (3) proposing the direction and themes of global citizenship education which will be mutually applied in Korea and ASEAN countries based on the research results.To conduct this study, various methods including literature study, interviews through visits to local schools, conferences for specialists, and international seminars were used. First, the meaning and goals of global citizenship education were established by reviewing literature and the concepts of ‘Humanity’, ‘Global Identity’, and ‘Global Participation’, which are the three sub-indices for global citizenship extracted from the first-year study, were used. Based on this framework, interview protocols for students, teachers, and policy makers were composed.The research team visited Indonesia and Thailand, carried out semi-structured interviews with students, teachers, and policy makers of national-level curriculum and classroom observations, and collected data related to global citizenship education. In addition, by conducting an international seminar with policy makers of curriculum of each country’s Ministry of Education and UNESCO specialists, we aimed to seek direction for joint global citizenship education in Korea and ASEAN and to reinforce educational cooperation.The major findings of this research can be suggested according to the research purposes in the following way.First, in the analysis of the national-level curriculum made for the comparison of current global citizenship education of Korea, Indonesia, and Thailand, the curriculum of each country is found to include elements of global citizenship education. However, countries show discrepancies in their actualization of curriculum, and citizenship education is still centered on national citizenship rather than global citizenship. Therefore, a more systematic attempt is needed for the advancement of citizenship education from nation-centered to globally oriented.Second, the findings from the interviews with students of each country carried out to define the characteristics of global citizenship of Korean, Indonesian, and Thai students indicate that while students’ responses showed a number of similarities in general, differences were found in specific answers as well. High school students provided more logical answers with greater depth compared to middle school students, and their responses differed based on their cultural contexts and experiences rather than their gender or religion. Therefore, while taking an approach which considers the level of students’ cognitive development as well as the cultural distinctiveness of each country, a way to expand opportunities for specific activities and experiences rather than an abstract way of teaching should be considered.Third, based on the analysis results, the directions and themes for global citizenship education to be jointly applied in Korea and ASEAN countries are proposed as follows: (1) The curriculum for global citizenship education should be focused on reinforcing the competency of citizens to participate in communities rather than that of individuals to ensure international competitiveness. (2) It is necessary to educate students to confront various conflicts and solve them by themselves rather than teaching them the abstract answers to the conflicts. (3) Global citizenship education should move beyond knowledge-based education and aim to lead bring changes in students’ behavior thereby empowering them to settle global issues. (4) For the actual implementation of curriculum, the cultural distinctiveness of each country and the differences by groups should be considered. (5) It is important to help students spread their interest to diverse countries beyond Western countries or ‘developed countries’.With these points in consideration, the objective of global citizenship education to be jointly promoted in Korea and ASEAN is suggested as the following: “Citizens are cultivated to form their identity as Asians based on their interest and knowledge of Asia and to participate in settling global issues. Through this, their qualities to participate in issues concerning all humanity are eventually cultivated.” The specific themes may include understanding Asia and ASEAN, social justice and equality, diversity, globalization and interdependence, conflict and peace, as well as sustainable development and environment. To improve effectiveness of joint global citizenship education of Korea and ASEAN and to reinforce educational cooperation, we made the following three suggestions.First, the standardization of global citizenship education across the nation is required. Having defined global citizenship education as the cultivation of the qualities of citizens based on the perception of human rights (Humanity) and with the identity as a global citizen (Global Identity) who can participate in settling the issues of global society (Participation), global citizenship education will yield the greatest efficiency when carried out together by all beyond national boundaries. Therefore, it is suggested that research for developing and expanding the joint curriculum by regions be supported and close cooperation be formed between policy makers of national curriculum and officials of International Training and Cooperation.Second, the reinforcement of global citizenship education through teacher training is required. For the effective implementation of joint global citizenship education in each country through the standardization of global citizenship education, the cultural diversity and distinctiveness of each country should be reflected. For these reasons, various practical bottom-up strategies are needed. Teacher training is a mandatory prerequisite for global citizenship education that is appropriate for the situations and contexts of each country. Therefore, it is suggested that researchers find out how to reinforce global citizenship education in teacher training based on solid research.Third, global citizenship education should be expanded by the exchange of human resources. As confirmed in this study, the exchange itself can bring a positive influence on the cultivation of global citizenship, and the sharing of the strategies for global citizenship education in each country can contribute to the development of a model for better global citizenship education. Therefore, it is suggested that the research for the joint promotion of project-based global citizenship education and the opportunities for mutual exchange of students and teachers between Korea and ASEAN countries should be expanded. Une Étude Comparative sur L'éducation à la Citoyenneté Mondiale (ECM) entre le Coréen et l'ASEAN Year of publication: 2015 Corporate author: Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation (KICE) Pour réaliser cette étude, diverses méthodes, y compris l'étude de la littérature, des entrevues par des visites dans les écoles locales, des conférences pour les spécialistes et séminaires internationaux ont été utilisés. Premièrement, le sens et les objectifs de L'éducation à la citoyenneté Mondiale (ECM) ont été établies en examinant la littérature et les concepts de «l'humanité», «Global Identity» et «Participation globale», qui sont les trois sous-indices pour mondiale la citoyenneté extraite de l'étude de première année, ont été utilisés. Sur la base de ce cadre, les protocoles d'entrevue pour les étudiants, les enseignants et les responsables politiques ont été composées.L'équipe de recherche a visité l'Indonésie et de la Thaïlande, a mené des entretiens semi-structurés avec les étudiants, les enseignants et les décideurs des observations du curriculum et de la classe au niveau national, et a recueilli des données relatives à l'éducation à la citoyenneté mondiale. En outre, en procédant à un séminaire international avec les décideurs du curriculum du ministère de l'Éducation et de l'UNESCO spécialistes de chaque pays, nous avons cherché à obtenir des directives pour joint L'éducation à la citoyenneté Mondiale (ECM) en Corée et l'ASEAN et de renforcer la coopération éducative.Les principaux résultats de cette recherche peuvent être proposées en fonction des fins de recherche de la manière suivante.Tout d'abord, dans l'analyse du programme au niveau national fait pour la comparaison du courant L'éducation à la citoyenneté Mondiale (ECM) de la Corée, l'Indonésie et la Thaïlande, le programme d'études de chaque pays se trouve à inclure des éléments d'éducation à la citoyenneté mondiale. Toutefois, les pays montrent des divergences dans leur actualisation du programme, et de l'éducation à la citoyenneté est toujours centrée sur la citoyenneté nationale plutôt que la citoyenneté mondiale. Par conséquent, une tentative plus systématique est nécessaire pour l'avancement de l'éducation à la citoyenneté d'un pays centré à vocation mondiale.Deuxièmement, les résultats des entrevues avec les étudiants de chaque pays menées pour définir les caractéristiques de la citoyenneté mondiale de la Corée, l'Indonésie, et les étudiants thaïlandais indiquent que, bien que les réponses des élèves ont montré un certain nombre de similitudes en général, des différences ont été trouvées dans des réponses précises que bien. Les élèves du secondaire ont fourni des réponses plus logiques avec une plus grande profondeur par rapport aux élèves des écoles moyennes, et leurs réponses différaient en fonction de leurs contextes et des expériences culturelles plutôt que de leur sexe ou de religion. Par conséquent, tout en adoptant une approche qui tient compte du niveau de développement cognitif des élèves, ainsi que les particularités culturelles de chaque pays, un moyen d'accroître les possibilités pour les activités et les expériences spécifiques plutôt que d'une manière abstraite de l'enseignement devrait être considéré.Troisièmement, sur la base des résultats d'analyse, les orientations et les thèmes de L'éducation à la citoyenneté Mondiale(ECM) à appliquer conjointement en Corée et les pays de l'ASEAN sont proposées comme suit: (1) Le programme de L'éducation à la citoyenneté Mondiale (ECM) devrait se concentrer sur le renforcement de la compétence des citoyens à participer à des communautés plutôt que celle des individus pour assurer la compétitivité internationale. (2) Il est nécessaire d'éduquer les étudiants pour faire face à divers conflits et de les résoudre par eux-mêmes plutôt que de leur enseigner les réponses abstraites aux conflits. (3) L'éducation à la citoyenneté Mondiale (ECM) devrait aller au-delà de la connaissancel'éducation et visent à entraîner apporter des changements dans le comportement des élèves autonomisation qui leur permet de régler les problèmes mondiaux. (4) Pour la mise en œuvre effective du programme, la spécificité culturelle de chaque pays et les différences par groupes devraient être considérés. (5) Il est important d'aider les élèves propagent leur intérêt de divers pays au-delà de l'Ouestpays ou «pays développés».Avec ces points en considération, l'objectif de L'éducation à la citoyenneté Mondiale (ECM) pour être promu conjointement en Corée et l'ASEAN est proposé comme suit: «Les citoyens sont cultivées pour former leur identité en tant Asiatiques en fonction de leur intérêt et de connaissance de Asie et de participer dans le règlement des problèmes mondiaux. Grâce à cela, leurs qualités de participer à des questions concernant toute l'humanité sont finalement cultivées. "Les thèmes spécifiques peuvent inclure la compréhension de l'Asie et de l'ASEAN, la justice sociale et l'égalité, la diversité, la mondialisation et l'interdépendance, les conflits et la paix, ainsi que le développement durable et l'environnement. Pour améliorer l'efficacité de l'articulation L'éducation à la citoyenneté Mondiale (ECM) de Corée et l'ASEAN etde renforcer la coopération éducative, nous avons fait les trois suggestions suivantes. Premièrement, la normalisation de L'éducation à la citoyenneté Mondiale (ECM) à travers le pays est nécessaire. Après avoir défini L'éducation à la citoyenneté Mondiale (ECM) comme la culture des qualités de citoyens fondées sur la perception des droits de l'homme (l'humanité) et de l'identité en tant que citoyen du monde (GlobalIdentity) qui peut participer au règlement des problèmes de la société globale (Participation), L'éducation à la citoyenneté Mondiale (ECM) donnera la plus grande efficacité lorsqu'elle est effectuée conjointement par tous au-delà des frontières nationales. Par conséquent, il est suggéré que la recherche pour le développement et l'expansion du programme commun par les régions être soutenu et une coopération étroite se former entre les décideurs du curriculum national et les responsables de la formation et la coopération internationale.Deuxièmement, le renforcement de L'éducation à la citoyenneté Mondiale (ECM) à travers la formation des enseignants est nécessaire. Pour la mise en œuvre effective de l'articulation L'éducation à la citoyenneté Mondiale (ECM) dans chaque pays grâce à la normalisation de l'éducation à la citoyenneté mondiale, la diversité culturelle et la spécificité de chaque pays doivent être pris en compte. Pour ces raisons, diverses stratégies ascendantes pratiques sont nécessaires. La formation des enseignants est une condition préalable obligatoire pour L'éducation à la citoyenneté Mondiale (ECM) qui est approprié pour les situations et les contextes de chaque pays. Par conséquent, il est suggéré que les chercheurs découvrent comment renforcer L'éducation à la citoyenneté Mondiale (ECM) dans la formation des enseignants sur la base de recherche solide.Troisièmement, L'éducation à la citoyenneté Mondiale (ECM) devrait être élargi par l'échange des ressources humaines. Comme l'a confirmé dans cette étude, l'échange lui-même peut apporter une influence positive sur la culture de la citoyenneté mondiale, et le partage des stratégies pour L'éducation à la citoyenneté Mondiale (ECM) dans chaque pays peut contribuer au développement d'un modèle pour une meilleure éducation à la citoyenneté mondiale. Par conséquent, il est suggéré que la recherche pour la promotion conjointe de par projet L'éducation à la citoyenneté Mondiale (ECM) et les possibilités d'échange mutuel d'étudiants et d'enseignants entre les pays de l'ASEAN et la Corée devrait être élargi.
