Curriculum in the Education 2030 Agenda: Latin America and the Caribbean Year of publication: 2017 Author: Renato Opertti Corporate author: UNESCO International Bureau of Education (IBE) “Curriculum in the Education 2030 Agenda: Latin America and the Caribbean”1 discusses the importance of rethinking the curriculum in light of a transformational, humanistic and holistic vision of education. The Education 2030 Agenda, which emerged from the World Education Forum (WEF) 2015 held in Incheon, Republic of Korea, positions curriculum as a powerful education policy tool leading the way to effective, relevant and sustainable learning opportunities, processes and outcomes. Curricula have a positive effect as levers for the sustainable, inclusive, fair and cohesive development of a country. They reflect and help to construct the type of society envisioned. The article provides recommendations to strengthen the positioning of curriculum toward an inclusive and equitable quality education in Latin America and the Caribbean. It therefore addresses the following questions: 1) How is curriculum currently conceived?; 2) What role does it play in the reforms aimed at improving equity and quality of the learning processes?; 3) What are the main regional challenges in relation to curriculum development?; and 4) How could countries align their curricula with their development needs?

Statement of International Development NGOs of Korea on the Global Fight against COVID-19 Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: Korea NGO Council for Overseas Development Cooperation (KCOC) The recent outbreak of COVID-19 has become a global crisis. Since the WHO declared it as a pandemic on March 11, we’ve seen an exponential growth of the numbers of confirmed cases and deaths across the world. No one can predict a peak or duration of the crisis at this point.As the U.S. and European countries with relatively effective healthcare infrastructure are also struggling with the pandemic, the magnitude of damages on developing countries would be unimaginable. It would be extremely difficult for vulnerable states to tackle the crisis by themselves. Now is the time that we forge international solidarity and find solutions together. 국제사회의 코로나19 퇴치를 위한 한국 국제개발협력 시민사회단체들의 호소문 Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: Korea NGO Council for Overseas Development Cooperation (KCOC) 코로나19가 전 지구적 위기로 다가왔습니다. 지난 3월 11일 세계보건기구(WHO)가 팬데믹을 선언한 이래, 전 세계 확진자 및 사망자의 수가 기하급수적으로 증가하고 있고, 그 정점이 어디인지, 언제까지 이 사태가 계속될지 누구도 예측하지 못하는 상황입니다.보건 의료 인프라가 잘 갖춰진 미국과 유럽에서조차 팬데믹의 영향이 심각한 상황임을 감안할 때, 향후 개발도상국(이하 개도국)이 받게 될 피해의 정도를 가늠하기 어렵습니다. 취약한 나라일수록 스스로의 노력만으로 현 위기 상황을 타개하기란 매우 어렵기에 우리는 지금부터 국제적으로 연대하고 공동으로 해결방안을 모색해야 합니다. 또한 개도국의 감염예방 및 치료를 돕는 것이 곧 우리의 안전을 지키는 일이며, 필수적이고도 선제적인 예방책이 될 것이라는 점을 기억해야 합니다.

Pour vivre ensemble à 10 milliards, changeons l’éducation: Manifeste pour une éducation à la citoyenneté planétaire Corporate author: Le collectif Paris-éducation 2015 | Les Amis de Circée 2050, c’est demain. Nos enfants et petits-enfants seront alors, sans doute, 10 milliards sur la Terre. D’ici là, quelles que soient les décisions qui seront prises par les gouvernants et les engagements de millions de citoyens dans le monde, la température du globe aura monté, comme le niveau des océans. Selon ce que notre génération aura entrepris plus ou moins résolument pour réduire nos émissions de CO2, ce sera entre 2° C ou 4° C à l’horizon 2100, voire davantage. Il faudra donc, de toute façon, vivre autrement. Face à l’ampleur, l’urgence, la diversité et la complexité des problématiques engendrées par le modèle de développement de nos sociétés contemporaines, nous sommes donc obligés, dans l’urgence, de nous pencher sur les questions d’éducation et de formation des générations futures qui devront affronter des réalités biophysiques, économiques et politiques inédites, dont nous commençons à peine à entrevoir l’ampleur. Ce qui est dès lors en jeu, avec l’avenir de l’homme et de la Terre, c’est l’humain, ce qu’il deviendra, ce qu’il sera capable de porter comme projet pour l’humanité. Quelles qualités d’humains devons-nous faire advenir pour que ces réalités inédites puissent être rencontrées demain, sans que l’humanité bascule dans la violence et le dépeçage égoïste de la planète? Quels enfants voulons-nous laisser à notre Terre?Cette urgence impose un changement d’échelle dans la transformation des systèmes éducatifs, des contenus et des méthodes d’enseignement. Malgré la volonté et la compétence de nombreux acteurs de l’école, force est de constater que les actions menées pour une éducation plus en cohérence avec les enjeux climatiques et, plus largement, sociétaux restent à la marge. Elles sont réalisées par des individus clairvoyants. Il est temps d’enclencher la vitesse supérieure.

Global citizenship education: citizenship education for globalizing societies Year of publication: 2015 Author: Werner Wintersteiner | Heidi Grobbauer | Gertraud Diendorfer | Susanne Reitmair-Juárez Corporate author: Austrian Commission for UNESCO This text reflects the work we have been doing for many years in the area of Global Citizenship Education (GCED) in Austria. Two endeavors particularly stand out: first, the continuing Masters programme GCED at the Alps-Adriatic University (Alpen-Adria Universität) in Klagenfurt, which is a specialized course of study for educationalists, teacher trainers, NGO associates and teachers (participants may either graduate with a certificate after two years or an MA degree after three years respectively), and second, our cooperation with the Austrian UNESCO Associated Schools Project Network. This was the originally intended audience for the German version of this brochure, which constitutes the programmatic basis for our training programs. We understand GCED as a concept that is located at the interface between civic education, global education and peace education, as well as education for sustainable development and intercultural learning. Our approach is characterized by these four features:* theoretical grounding and a particular focus on terminology in order to foster competence of judgment regarding political concepts* investigating the historical dimension of GCED in depth in order to account for colonialism and neocolonialism* socio-critical orientation in order to set us apart from strands of GCED that ultimately perpetuate concepts of Western hegemony* didactic implementation that is systematic and based on appropriate theoretical work in order to avoid pragmatismWith this English edition (the section specific to the Austrian context was omitted) we wish to initiate a dialog with colleagues in the whole world and hope to engage in lively exchange.
