Global Partnership Strategy for Early Childhood, 2021-2030 Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: UNESCO The Global Partnership Strategy for early childhood is the result of inter-agency efforts to counter the negative trend in education and to overcome the reduction and closure of services for health, nutrition, sanitation, and child protection in all regions of the world during the COVID-19 pandemic. Well-designed and implemented policies and services for early childhood care, education and development enable all countries to protect and guarantee child rights, achieve high rates of return on their investments in child and family development and widen avenues for transforming societies and lives. Stratégie de partenariat mondial pour la petite enfance, 2021-2030 Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO) La Stratégie de Partenariat mondial pour la petite enfance est le résultat des efforts interagences pour contrer la tendance négative dans l’éducation et pour surmonter la réduction et la fermeture des services de santé, de nutrition, d’assainissement et de protection de l’enfance dans toutes les régions du monde pendant la pandémie de COVID-19.

Addressing Conspiracy Theories: What Teachers Need to Know Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: UNESCO This document is a first introduction for educators, working in and outside of formal schooling, on how to identify, prevent and address conspiracy theories in education settings. It seeks to provide educators with key definitions and essential knowledge to grasp the complexity of the phenomenon and alert learners about the key characteristics and harmful effects of conspiracy theories for a first, immediate response. To support educators in this endeavour, this document outlines strategies to prevent the belief in conspiracy theories as well as to engage with learners who already believe in them. 
Translation: From One World to Another (The UNESCO Courier No. 2; April-June 2022) Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: UNESCO To translate is “to say almost the same thing”, in the words of the Italian writer Umberto Eco. A whole world is contained in this “almost”. To translate is to confront the other, the different, the unknown. It is often the essential prerequisite for those who want to access a universal, multiple, diverse culture. It is therefore no coincidence that the League of Nations took up the issue in the 1930s, envisaging the creation of an Index Translationum.Taken over by UNESCO in 1948, this Index allowed the first census of translated works in the world. Two years later, the Representative Works programme was launched to translate masterpieces of world literature. UNESCO’s support for the publication last year of a lexicon of words from indigenous languages of Mexico that are untranslatable into Spanish is a continuation of these efforts.Although their disappearance was predicted as early as the 1950s, translators – who are most often women – have never been as numerous as they are today. The machines developed in the aftermath of the war have not been able to outdo this behind-the-scenes profession. Nor have digital translation tools, which have become the standard feature of our globalized conversations, even if they have contributed to transforming the job.This is because language is more than just a means of communication. It is that, and much more. It is what written or oral works make of it, contributing to forge what is sometimes called the ‘genius of the language’, which the most powerful applications cannot restore. 
[Résumé] Repenser nos futurs ensemble: Un nouveau contrat social pour l’éducation Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: International Commission on the Futures of Education | Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO) Devant la menace qui pèse sur les futurs communs de l’humanité et de la planète Terre, il est devenu urgent d’entreprendre une action commune pour changer de cap et repenser nos futurs. Des responsabilités nouvelles, pressantes et importantes incombent notamment à l’éducation, un secteur qui a été et continue d’être un puissant vecteur de changement positif. Publié par la Commission internationale sur Les futurs de l’éducation, le présent rapport est le résultat d’une consultation mondiale qui a mobilisé près d’un million de personnes. Il invite les gouvernements, les institutions, les organisations et les citoyens à travers le monde à élaborer un nouveau contrat social pour l’éducation qui nous aidera à construire, ensemble et pour tous, des futurs pacifiques, justes et durables. À travers un examen approfondi de différentes questions ayant trait aux technologies numériques, au changement climatique, au recul démocratique, à la polarisation sociétale et à l’avenir incertain du marché du travail, ce rapport entend non seulement lancer un débat ouvert sur l’éducation pour susciter la réflexion, mais aussi inciter chacun d’entre nous à agir ; son argument central étant que grâce à des millions d’actes individuels et collectifs de courage, de leadership, de résistance, de créativité et d’intérêt pour autrui, nous parviendrons à changer de cap et à transformer l’éducation pour favoriser l’avènement de futurs justes, équitables et durables. [Резюм] Совместное переосмысление наших перспектив: Новый социальный договор в интересах образования Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: International Commission on the Futures of Education | Организация Объединенных Наций по вопросам образования, науки и культуры (UNESCO) Все человечество и планета Земля находятся под угрозой. Для изменения ситуации и переосмысления будущего необходимы безотлагательные действия, предпринятые каждым из нас. Перед образованием, которое уже давно признано влиятельным фактором позитивных изменений, стоит новая, срочная и важная задача. Данный доклад Международной комиссии по Перспективам образования, основанный на глобальном процессе консультаций с участием около миллиона человек, предлагает правительствам, учреждениям, организациям и гражданам всего мира заключить новый общественный договор в области образования, который поможет нам построить мирные отношения, создавая справедливое и устойчивое будущее вместе и для каждого. В докладe подробно рассматриваются цифровые технологии, изменение климата, отсутствие успеха в достижении демократии и поляризация общества, а также неопределенные перспективы трудоустройства. Доклад направлен не только на то, чтобы стимулировать обсуждение о вопросах образования и побудить к размышлениям, но и на то, чтобы призвать каждого из нас к активным действиям. Основная его идея заключается в том, что только через миллионы индивидуальных и коллективных актов мужества, лидерства, сопротивления, творчества и заботы мы сможем изменить курс и преобразить систему образования для построения справедливого, равноправного и устойчивого будущего.
