Towards the development of an international module for assessing learning in Global Citizenship Education (GCE) and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD): a critical review of current measurement strategies Year of publication: 2016 Author: Bryony Hoskins Corporate author: UNESCO The aim of the study is to support the development of an indicator for target 4.7 of the UN sustainable development goals (STG). The study provides a conceptual framework for measuring the competences from global citizenship education (GCE) and education for sustainable development (ESD) from a review of the literature and then an audit of the different aspects of these competences. The study establishes the extent that these competences can be measured using existing data. The results of this analysis show that most dimensions of GCE can to some extent be measured by the existing IEA ICCS 2009 and 2016 datasets and an outline of how this data can be used to develop an initial indicator or set of indicators for target 4.7 is given. However, in contrast, the study finds that existing data is much more limited on measuring ESD and the existing data does not provide enough coverage for indicator development at the moment. The study recommends that in order to provide a more comprehensive measure of both these competences it would be necessary to develop a new module on GCE and ESD. After considering the options, it is concluded that the most realistic option is for this module to be attached to the existing IEA ICCS survey. The study concludes that an indicator of all citizens across the whole world is probably unrealistic considering the challenges faced, but what could be achievable is an indicator covering some countries from each region from around the world. To make this a reality considerable political effort and search for funding would be required to engage new regions to the ICCS survey, for example, from Africa and the Middle East 
Developing a Monitoring Instrument to Measure Extracurricular and Non-formal Activities which Promote Global Citizenship Education (GCED) and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) Year of publication: 2016 Author: Bassel Akar Corporate author: UNESCO The goal on Education is 1 of 17 Sustainable Development Goals that comprises a target to ensure all learners around the world have an opportunity to develop the competencies to promote sustainable approaches to living, including appreciating of cultural diversity, non-violence, and gender equality. Extracurricular activities and non-formal education (ENA) provides a non-traditional space for learning global citizenship and sustainable development. Around the world, communities have organized education programs and activities for youth outside school to learn the values and practices of being global citizens. Research shows, however, that most efforts to review and improve ENA for global citizenship and sustainable development have focused on summative evaluations with little attention to formative approaches of monitoring. Drawing on basic principles of action research, sustainable professional development, and education quality enhancement, a monitoring framework emerges to support organizations around the world in measuring progress towards education for global citizenship and sustainable development. This framework also suggests (1) inclusive monitoring spaces like internal reviews and online social networking platforms, (2) roles of stakeholders like donor agencies in institutionalizing monitoring practices, (3) instruments and measurable scales to facilitate dialogues that review program objectives and action plans, and (4) challenges in inclusive and sustainable monitoring tools and approaches.

Water and peace for the people: possible solutions to water disputes in the Middle East Year of publication: 2008 Corporate author: UNESCO This book proposes practical and objective solutions to the entrenched water conflicts in the Middle East. The author reveals and clarifies the complexity of the water conflicts, drawing on years of experience facilitating and chairing water negotiations in the region. The bottom line is: Unless the countries involved co-operate, the consequences will be devastating.

Critical Understanding on Global Citizenship Education in Post 2015 Context (Theory and Research in Citizenship Education; Vol. 57, No. 1) Year of publication: 2015 Author: Jinhee Kim Corporate author: Korea Association of Social Education It is notable that global citizenship education has recently gained prominence in Post 2015 context. This study attempted to explore diverse discourses of global citizenship education in theoretical dimension and it also analyzed the current status of global citizenship education as a new global education agenda. Major findings displayed issues and challenges; de-contextualization against local dimension; vague conceptualization of global citizenship education; limitation of transformative pedagogy and learning discourse; indicator development and monitoring issues; a paradigm shift for global citizenship education engaging with lifelong learning. Eventually, this study argues that comprehensive vision and long term road-map should be established to enhance global citizenship education. Lifelong learning approach is crucial to reshape global citizenship education while interacting with life-world context and life experience, which can promote an epistemology of learning to live together.
