European Citizenship Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: Laboratoire d'innovation pédagogique sur l'Europe (LIPE) The participation of the peoples in European construction has always been questioned since the 1970s, when the Member States wanted to relaunch the process of political unification. The election of the European Parliament by universal suffrage is a first step. Citizens' Europe, initiated in 1975 and relaunched in 1985, should make it possible to bring the peoples of the Community closer together, but remains symbolic and without much practical significance. The States are waiting for the Maastricht Treaty to establish true European citizenship within the framework of political Union. Secondary citizenship limited to a few rights, its scope remains limited and its political effectiveness questionable. 
Promoting Global Citizenship Education in Arab Universities: Proposals for Action Year of publication: 2022 Author: Ellen Middaugh Corporate author: UNESCO Beirut Higher education can play an important role in promoting Global Citizenship Education (GCED). It provides incentive, opportunity and support for young adults to learn about global issues, engage across diverse cultures, and practice the skills of GCED at a time of intensive personal, social, political and career exploration. Furthermore, universities can encourage students to take these skills and values into their adult lives to share with others and continue the lifelong process. Arab universities are very committed to GCED. However, the way GCED in concretely implemented needs improvement. While greater attention is paid to the cognitive domain of learning, the socio-emotional and behavioral domains of learning – which best lead to effective transformative engagement – tend to be left behind. Based on existing practices, this document provides universities, academia and students with concrete proposals on how to better mainstream GCED and its values, through higher education, in the Arab region.

Is World Heritage an Economic Mirage? (Téoros; vol. 30, no. 2) Year of publication: 2011 Author: Lionel Prigent Corporate author: Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) The UNESCO World Heritage List is deemed to be based on principles of universality. However, its critics observe that the multiplication of listed sites, then the widening of heritage categories, is accompanied by an increasingly strong specialization towards tourism and a claim, more expressed, to contribute to local development. . Studies on the economic impact of heritage sites, however, reflect a more equivocal reality. These reserves are not enough to moderate the inflation of listed sites and the hopes placed in heritage enhancement. What is the motivation for such collective obstinacy? The complexity of the nature of heritage cannot be reduced to a commercial dimension. Even the economic analysis of heritage reflects the limits of a purely utilitarian and mercantile approach. Although the questions of enhancement and use of heritage remain more than ever raised, the broadening of the economic definition perhaps makes it possible to better understand the issues and the limits of the extension of heritage and its consequences.

5th UNESCO Forum on Transformative Education for Sustainable Development, Global Citizenship, Health and Well-Being: Recommendations for Action Towards Transformative Education Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: UNESCO In light of contemporary and emerging challenges such as climate change, violent and hateful ideologies, conflicts and risks of global pandemics, education must teach young people the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to live cooperatively, be flexible, think critically, respect diversity, care for the environment, and be actively involved in finding solutions, both locally and globally. Transformative education – as enshrined in Target 4.7 of Sustainable Development Goal 4 – is critical in supporting individuals to develop these competencies. Transformative education involves teaching and learning that motivates and empowers learners to make informed decisions and actions at the individual, community and global levels. With a focus on sustainability, global citizenship, health and well-being for all, transformative education implies ensuring that curriculum, pedagogy, learning materials, schools and learning environments are meaningful for the social, political, economic, cultural and environmental contexts. To better understand concrete progress in transformative education, UNESCO and the Asia Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding (APCEIU) co-organized the 5th UNESCO Forum on Transformative Education for Sustainable Development, Global Citizenship, Health and Well-being (29 November – 1 December 2021).The conference enabled a productive dialogue among a diverse range of actors from the fields of education for sustainable development (ESD), global citizenship education (GCED), education for health and wellbeing under the broader “banner” of transformative education.
