Solidarity as the Future of Education: Perspectives From the Ibero-American Experience of Service-Learning Year of publication: 2024 Author: Elena Massat Corporate author: UNESCO | Latin American Center for Service-Learning (CLAYSS) With this work we have proposed to put into dialogue the recent UNESCO document “Reimagining our futures together. A new social contract for education. Report of the international commission on the futures of education” with the theory and practice of service-learning in Ibero-America. We would like to show how UNESCO's proposal for education for the future can already be verified as a practice in many educational institutions in the region, which develop solidarity service-learning projects even in the most vulnerable contexts. In these experiences, solidarity ceases to be just learning content, to become an educational process, a pedagogy to learn to solve complex problems of reality, and to use the SDGs as a “curriculum” for the education of the future (UNESCO, 2022:54). These practices are deeply innovative, as the experts who comment on them point out, and we hope that they can be inspiring for many other educational institutions. 
Environmental Education Toolkit Guide for Latin America and the Caribbean Year of publication: 2023 Author: Eloísa Tréllez Solís Corporate author: United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) The Environmental Education Toolkit is aimed primarily at teachers, multipliers and facilitators in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), and aims to promote interdisciplinary approaches, with a view to the transversality of environmental education. In the new context of a post-COVID-19 health emergency world, this approach becomes more relevant and necessary to achieve a better vision and understanding of the relationships between humans and nature; between societies, cultures and with the ecosystems on which they depend. In the chapters that make up this publication, an approach is proposed through a methodological proposal for reflection and action, the Interdisciplinary Roundtables for Environmental Education towards Sustainability, whose main objective is to strengthen and complement the environmental education processes that are carried out both in educational centers and in community groups, from an interdisciplinary, transversal perspective and with systemic thinking. 
Working On Emotions, Advancing Equality: Learning Situations Year of publication: 2024 Author: Marta Álvarez | María Burgos | Ricardo Hurtado | Francisca Marañón | Laura Seoane Corporate author: InteRed This publication proposes several learning situations to be carried out in the classroom and in other socio-educational spaces with the aim of understanding and managing the emotions that underlie attitudes and behaviours that generate violence, discrimination and inequality. This proposal continues the work that we at InteRed have been doing to generate in people the capacities to position themselves in the current system of inequalities from a social justice perspective, without losing confidence that another model of development that is more fair, equitable and sustainable is possible. In this process of capacity building, we believe it is essential to address the management of emotions.

How to Develop Solidarity Service-Learning Projects: Manual for Various Educational Levels and Non-formal Education Year of publication: 2024 Author: María Nieves Tapia Corporate author: Latin American Center for Service-Learning (CLAYSS) The publication presents the concept and practice of solidarity-based service-learning (SLL) focusing on its implementation in Uruguay from a Latin American perspective. With this approach, throughout its 88 pages it explores local applications and compares experiences from other regions, providing a broad and enriching view of this methodology. Solidarity-based service-learning is a recommended pedagogical strategy to face the educational challenges of the 21st century. According to the Delors report (1996), this methodology is aligned with the four pillars of education: learning to be, learning to learn, learning to do and learning to live together. The manual details how SLL projects can be a powerful tool for social change.

UNESCO Associated Schools Network (ASPnet) Strategic Framework for Action 2025-2029: Building Peaceful and Sustainable Futures through Transformative Education Year of publication: 2025 Corporate author: UNESCO The ASPnet Strategic Framework explains how UNESCO's pioneering Associated Schools Network (ASPnet) contributes to the achievement of UNESCO’s strategic objectives for Education. This Framework outlines the key thematic areas, innovative educational approaches, and the anticipated outcomes of this dynamic community of educational innovators. It also delineates the roles and responsibilities of its primary stakeholders. The three thematic areas are : "Peace through Global Citizenship Education," "Education for Sustainable Development," and "Intercultural Learning and Appreciation of Cultural Diversity and Heritage." Through initiatives in these areas, ASPnet members inspire and empower teachers, principals, students, families, education professionals, and policymakers to champion transformative education. This prepares learners to become responsible global citizens in an ever-evolving and complex world. Ultimately, the goal is for all participants in this ecosystem to learn from one another and promote international understanding. 
Globalising the school curriculum: gender, EFA and global citizenship education (RECOUP working paper 17) Year of publication: 2008 Author: Harriet Marshall | Madeleine Arnot Corporate author: Research Consortium on Educational Outcomes and Poverty (RECOUP) This paper aims to bring the school curriculum into the analysis of gender, education and development. There is a marked absence of discussion both in the academic field of development studies and in the political domain of educational policy making around Education for All about what is required of the school curriculum so that it could help promote gender equality. All too often national school curricula reproduce gender inequalities in the public and private sphere and sustain hegemonic male regimes on a national and global scale (Arnot, 2002). Curriculum research, however, can challenge these social messages embedded in curricular formations as well as raise deeper questions about whose forms of knowledge should be transmitted through official forms of schooling. Critical sociological research, for example, recognises the importance of the rules governing the access and redistribution of knowledge, and also the politics behind the selection, organisation and evaluation of legitimate knowledge through formal national educational institutions within developing economies and the impact these have on indigenous social stratifications. It can also critically assess new global interventions into the school curriculum whether in the name of economic progress, human rights or social justice. These global developments are controversial not least because of the challenge they represent to what has been considered the prerogative of national governments – to transmit its own selection of educational knowledge to its citizens, using its own contextualised pedagogic style. The study of national curricula therefore offers the possibility of exploring the equity dimensions of global–national and local educational interfaces and policy agendas. The paper has limited but hopefully valuable ambitions. It aims to initiate discussion of the curriculum in relation to gender, education and development by exploring the global significance of recent interventions on gender, and in particular girls’ education. The first section briefly considers the implications of globalisation as a transformative process on the development of educational knowledge and queries whether the school curricula could address persistent worldwide gender disparities, inequalities and female subjugation. In the second section, we focus specifically on whether new global declarations around gender equality such as those analysed in the UNESCO Education for All Global Monitoring Reports imply certain roles for the school curriculum. The final section addresses the possibilities for gender equality implied by recent interest global citizenship education – a new curriculum subject and approach that promises much. We consider in a preliminary way whether these new developments represent a move towards forms of educational knowledge that are critical rather than legitimating and ‘normalising’ in relation to gender inequalities.
