International Symposium on Cultivating Wisdom, Harvesting Peace: Educating for a Culture of Peace through Values, Virtues, and Spirituality of Diverse Cultures, Faiths, and Civilizations; Symposium Recommendations Year of publication: 2005 Corporate author: Griffith University. Multi-Faith Centre On the 10-13th August 2005, over 120 delegates from 25 countries gathered at the International Symposium to share their inspirational insights and experiences on the theme of “Cultivating Wisdom, Harvesting Peace.” The Symposium was organized and hosted by the Multi-Faith Centre of Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia with the support of Pure Land Learning College, UNESCO and various UNESCO National Commissions, centres or offices, and numerous faith, interfaith, educational and civil society organizations and institutions. Reflecting a diversity of cultures, faiths and spirituality traditions, the delegates presented rich and empowering stories as well as critical analyses of how communities, institutions, civil society organizations, and international or global agencies have organized educational projects and programs to address the root causes of violence and conflicts and build a culture of peace at all levels of life. Over four intensive days of inter-faith and intra-faith dialogue, the Symposium participants engaged with humility and passion in sharing their wisdoms on ways to promote mutual understanding, solidarity, and cooperation across cultures and national boundaries. While recognizing that differences between faiths and cultures need to be understood, the dialogue also clearly showed that all faiths, cultures, and civilizations have, at their core, key values, virtues, and ethical principles that inspire and sustain peaceful relationships, communities and societies.The Symposium also highlighted the urgent need for exemplars and possibilities for transforming principles, values and visions into personal and social actions and practices in all the multiple dimensions of a culture of peace. In this first decade of the 21st century, it is clear that there are still many formidable challenges of building peace posed by prevailing realities of conflicts and violence in local, national, international and global contexts. The Symposium on “Cultivating Wisdom, Harvesting Peace” was therefore a most timely and relevant event, not only for promoting the urgent dialogue needed, but also most importantly in proposing constructive policies for educational transformation worldwide. This Summary of the Symposium Recommendations will hopefully be a very helpful document for the implementation of effective and creative strategies and practices of educating for wisdom towards a culture of peace. It is offered to government leaders, policy makers, educators, and leaders and members of diverse faith and interfaith institutions and communities in all societies and regions, in the hope that we will join our minds, hearts and spirit in solidarity to build a “one world” of peace, compassion, justice, love and diverse shared values for the well being of a common humanity and earth community Colloque international sur la culture de la sagesse, la récolte de la paix: l'éducation pour une culture de la paix à travers les valeurs, les vertus, et la spiritualité de diverses cultures, religions et civilisations; recommandations du symposium Year of publication: 2005 Corporate author: Griffith University.

Plus de quatre jours intensifs de interconfessionnel et le dialogue intra-religieux, les participants au symposium engagés avec humilité et passion à partager leurs sagesses sur les moyens de promouvoir la compréhension mutuelle, la solidarité et la coopération entre les cultures et les frontières nationales. Tout en reconnaissant que les différences entre les religions et les cultures doivent être compris, le dialogue a également montré clairement que toutes les religions, les cultures et les civilisations ont, à leur base, les valeurs clés, les vertus et les principes éthiques qui inspirent et maintenir des relations pacifiques, les communautés et les sociétés . Le Symposium a également souligné le besoin urgent d'exemplaires et les possibilités de transformer les principes, les valeurs et les visions en actions et les pratiques personnelles et sociales dans tous les multiples dimensions d'une culture de la paix. Dans cette première décennie du 21e siècle, il est clair qu'il ya encore de nombreux défis formidables de consolidation de la paix que posent les réalités prévalant des conflits et de la violence dans des contextes locaux, nationaux, internationaux et mondiaux. Le Symposium sur "Sagesse Cultivant, récolte la paix» était donc un événement le plus opportun et pertinent, non seulement pour promouvoir le dialogue urgent besoin, mais aussi le plus important de proposer des politiques constructives pour la transformation de l'éducation dans le monde entier. Ce résumé des recommandations du Symposium, nous l'espérons être un document très utile pour la mise en œuvre des stratégies et des pratiques de l'éducation pour la sagesse vers une culture de la paix efficaces et créatives.

Guidelines for education sector plan appraisal Year of publication: 2015 Corporate author: UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP) | Global Partnership for Education (GPE) At the World Education Forum, in Dakar in 2000, the international community pledged that no country with a credible plan to achieve the Education for All goals would be thwarted by a lack of resources. Since then, the development of an education sector plan (ESP) has become a priority in many countries. ESPs present the policies and strategies for national education reform, and are a powerful tool for coordinating partners and for mobilizing additional domestic and external resources. They have become a critical instrument for governments to signal to all potential investors that their education policies are credible, sustainable, and worthy of investment.The consensus on the need for credible ESPs is strong. However, what does a credible plan require in terms of government leadership, knowledge and data, institutional and human capacities, and dialogue among the education stakeholders? What are the criteria that establish the credibility of a plan? The purpose of these guidelines is to assist education stakeholders in appraising the soundness, relevance, and coherence that form the credibility of ESPs. The primary objective of an appraisal report is to support the finalization of a credible ESP. It provides a fair review of the ESP strengths and areas in need of improvement before the endorsement by partners which signifies their commitment to support the implementation of the ESP. These guidelines are meant to be adapted to national contexts and needs. The stakeholders should discuss the scope and the methodology of the appraisal to be used, and develop a common vision of the whole process. The appraisal process should be participatory, and grounded in the political and technical dialogue for ESP development. It should involve consultations, interviews with key stakeholders, and field visits, in addition to a desk review of the ESP and any other relevant documents. It is good practice to organize a validation workshop of the appraisal report’s findings, conclusions, and recommendations to feed into the ESP finalization. The appraisal process should occur early enough in the ESP development process to allow time for decision-makers to open consultations on these conclusions and recommendations in order to improve the final version of the ESP.
