The Socio-Cultural Impact of COVID-19: Exploring the Role of Intercultural Dialogue in Emerging Responses Year of publication: 2020 Author: Fethi Mansouri Corporate author: UNESCO This brief illustrates, proponents and practitioners of ICD were quick to adapt to this crisis situation and shifted much of their activities online in order to mitigate the negative impacts of the pandemic. The shift has ensured that cross-cultural exchange, mutual support and intergroup solidarity, all key dimensions of the ICD approach, can be maintained in safe online contexts and thus continue to play a key role within the socio-cultural response to COVID-19.Through inductive exploration of authentic, local, community responses to the COVID-19 crisis, this brief aims to shed light on the new context in which the ICD agenda is being pursued, complementing the many existing quantitative analyses of the socio-cultural impact of the pandemic. 
International Literacy Day: Background Paper on 'Youth and Adult Literacy in the Time of COVID-19; Impacts and Revelations' Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: UNESCO Specially prepared on the occasion of International Literacy Day 2020, this background paper illustrates the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on youth and adult literacy, based on the limited information that is currently available. It provides five regional snapshots and identifies preliminary lessons learned thus far, while aiming to inspire continued reflection and subsequent action. It also makes the case for the ongoing importance of advancing youth and adult literacy, a priority that was already neglected even before the pandemic but which deserves all our attention. ILD 2020 thus seeks to trigger reimaginations of literacy teaching and learning in the COVID-19 crisis and beyond, with a particular focus on the role of educators. 
Annual Report 2019: UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) This report shows how, in 2019, UIL worked to fulfil its mission, with a focus on youth and adults and a special emphasis on UNESCO’s priority areas of Africa and gender equality. UIL’s vision is for all children, young people and adults to benefit from quality lifelong learning opportunities, within the framework of sustainable development and peace. We promote lifelong learning as the leading educational paradigm for inclusive and sustainable learning societies in the context of the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which provides an ambitious set of goals and targets for Member States that together form a coherent, universal framework of reference for our activities. Working to this framework, and recognizing lifelong learning’s important transversal role not only with respect to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 on education but across all 17 SDGs, UIL has made an impact across a range of fronts, including in the areas of policy advice, capacity development, research, monitoring, and networking and advocacy.

L’UIL nourrit la vision d’un monde où tous les enfants, tous les jeunes et tous les adultes bénéficient d’offres d’apprentissage de qualité tout au long de leur vie, dans le cadre d’un développement durable et dans un monde en paix. Nous assurons la promotion de l’apprentissage tout au long de la vie en tant que paradigme éducatif majeur de sociétés apprenantes inclusives et durables dans le contexte du Programme de développement durable des Nations unies à l’horizon 2030. Ce programme fournit aux États membres une série d’objectifs et de cibles ambitieux qui, dans leur ensemble, constituent un cadre de référence universel et cohérent pour nos activités. Œuvrant à la réalisation de ce cadre et reconnaissant le rôle important de l’apprentissage tout au long de la vie, non seulement dans l’optique de l’Objectif de développement durable 4 (ODD 4) sur l’éducation, mais aussi, de façon plus générale pour réaliser les 17 ODD, l’UIL s’est engagé sur différents terrains tels que la formulation des politiques et leur mise en œuvre, le développement des capacités, la recherche, le pilotage et suivi ainsi que la mise en réseau et le plaidoyer.

Achieving and Monitoring Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship: A Systematic Review of the Literature (Sustainability 2020; Vol. 12, No. 4) Year of publication: 2020 Author: Brent Edwards | Manca Sustarsic | Mina Chiba | Mark McCormick | Melissa Goo | Sara Perriton Corporate author: Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) This paper presents the results of a systematic review of literature (56 studies) related to Sustainable Development Goal 4.7. The goal of the research reported on here is to contribute to the discussion around strategies for working towards and monitoring SDG4.7 at the institutional level. Within this overarching focus, our review of the literature was designed to identify studies that have looked at both student learning and teacher education related to SDG4.7. This twin focus stems from the recognition that achieving the SDGs will be particularly difficult if policymakers are not attentive to both sides of the learning equation—that is, first, to the ways that teachers learn to teach about issues related to SDG4.7 and, then, the ways that students acquire this knowledge and are assessed. The five findings sections of this review correspond to the five areas of emphasis embedded in the language of SDG4.7, namely, education for (a) sustainable development, (b) human rights, (c) gender equality, (d) promoting of a culture of peace and non-violence, and (e) appreciation of cultural diversity. In accordance with the purpose of this review, the synthesis for each area of emphasis digs into the details of the educational interventions, monitoring and evaluation strategies, and results that are documented in the publications analyzed. Thus, this review can be useful for informing educational or pedagogical approaches related to SDG4.7, as well as for designing monitoring and evaluation tools for the SDGs.
