Intercultural and Decolonization in Higher Education and Challenges in Bolivia Year of publication: 2016 Author: Mario Yapu Corporate author: CELEI Chile There are several efforts to promote multiculturalism and decolonization in higher education, but their application has limitations. This article notes that often these issues are discussed under the influences of history in primary and secondary education that not correspond to higher education and universities reality. In other cases they are addressed as primarily cultural and folclorized problems. To attend this issue, this chapter suggest a reconceptualization of culture and a more integral, materialist and political historical and institutional analysis of interculturality and decolonization in universities. In these way, tried to explain the difficulties in applying the current educational reform at the higher education. La interculturalidad y la descolonización en la Educación Superior y sus desafíos en Bolivia Year of publication: 2016 Author: Mario Yapu Corporate author: CELEI Chile Existen diversos esfuerzos para promover la interculturalidad y descolonización en educación superior, pero su aplicación presenta limitaciones. Este artículo observa que con frecuencia aquellos temas son analizados bajo influencias de la historia de la educación primaria o secundaria que no se adecua a la educación superior y las universidades. En otros casos son abordados como problemas principalmente culturales y folclorizantes. Por eso propone una reconceptualización de la cultura y sugiere un análisis histórico e institucional más integral, materialista y político de la interculturalidad y descolonización en las universidades. Así trata de explicar las dificultades de aplicación de la reforma educativa actual en el nivel superior.

Textbooks and Inclusive Education: Background Paper Prepared for the 2020 Global Education Monitoring Report, Inclusion and Education Year of publication: 2020 Author: Eckhardt Fuchs | Marcus Otto | Simiao Yu Corporate author: UNESCO | Global Education Monitoring Report Team This report, based on an analysis of a sample of textbooks from 28 countries, shows that the subject of inclusion has become increasingly significant in terms of both structure and subject matter, and particularly in the contexts of human rights and citizenship. Social diversity is also increasingly taken into account and reflected upon, albeit with varying emphasis on the differing dimensions of diversity, given that genuinely intersectional perspectives via which these are linked only occur in isolated and rudimentary cases. With regard to inclusiveness in the gender-related dimension, the overall picture of the textbook sample under analysis here is a heterogeneous one; further, the incorporation of LGTBQIA+ perspectives remains insufficient. Nevertheless, the textbooks examined here do show increasing critical reflection on the social discrimination of different groups, and, ultimately, we do observe a significant trend towards a more pronounced consideration and representation of different social groups and minorities. 
Adult education and development: global citizenship education (no 82, 2015) Year of publication: 2015 Corporate author: DVV International Issue 82/2015 of the international journal Adult Education and Development (AED) explores the topic global citizenship education. In the international debates, we are witnessing a growing interest in the concept of global citizenship education. It is one of the three pillars of the Global Education First Initiative (GEFI) launched by the United Nations Secretary-General in 2012 and is being internationally promoted by the work of UNESCO. According to the GEFI, education that fosters global citizenship “must fully assume its central role in helping people to forge more just, peaceful, tolerant and inclusive societies”. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in September 2015, refers to global citizenship as one tool to “ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development”. The ambitions are high, but the concrete understanding of global citizenship education and its implications differ widely. Is it just another abstract concept? What meaning can the word citizenship have if it does not refer to a specific nation? What do people in different parts of the world understand by global citizenship? And how can global citizenship education be put into practice? Adult Education and Development decided to engage in the debate and invited authors from different regions, backgrounds and disciplines to share their thoughts and experiences on the topic and related questions such as identity, migration, peace, the meaning of citizenship, globalisation and sustainable development. Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO, explains the organisation’s understanding of global citizenship education, and why adult education and “learning beyond the classrooms” are crucial when it comes to promoting global citizenship. Canadian author and journalist Doug Saunders (“Arrival City: How the Largest Migration in History Is Reshaping Our World”) talks about the challenges and opportunities of what he refers to as the last great human migration, that from the countryside to the cities, and about the positive role adult education can play during this transition. In the section “Citizens’ voices” people from all over the world talk about what global citizenship means to them and in what ways they see themselves as global citizens. And photographer Viktor Hilitksi travelled through Belarus and captured with his camera how villages rediscover their local traditions and cultures. Éducation des adultes et développement: L'éducation à la citoyenneté mondiale (ECM) (no 82, 2015) Year of publication: 2015 Corporate author: DVV International Le numéro 82/2015 de la revue internationale l’Éducation des Adultes et Développement(AED) explore le sujet de l'éducation à la citoyenneté mondiale. Dans les débats internationaux, nous assistons à un intérêt croissant pour le concept d'éducation à la citoyenneté mondiale. Il est l'un des trois piliers de l'Initiative Mondiale pour l'Éducation Avant Tout (GEFI) lancé par le Secrétaire général des Nations Unies en 2012 et est promu à l'échelle internationale par le travail de l'UNESCO. Selon le GEFI, l'éducation qui favorise la citoyenneté mondiale "doit assumer pleinement son rôle central en aidant les gens à forger plus justes, des sociétés pacifiques, tolérantes et inclusives". L'Agenda 2030 pour le développement durable, adoptée par l'Assemblée générale des Nations Unies en Septembre 2015, se réfère à la citoyenneté mondiale comme un outil pour «faire en sorte que tous les apprenants à acquérir les connaissances et les compétences nécessaires pour promouvoir le développement durable». Les ambitions sont grandes, mais la compréhension concrète de L'éducation à la citoyenneté mondiale(ECM) et ses implications diffèrent largement. Est-il juste un autre concept abstrait? Quel sens le mot citoyenneté peut avoir si elle ne se réfère pas à une nation spécifique? Qu'est-ce que les gens dans les différentes parties du monde comprennent par la citoyenneté mondiale? Comment l'éducation à la citoyenneté mondiale(ECM) peut-elle être mise en pratique? Education des adultes et développement ont décidé de participer au débat et a invité les auteurs de différentes régions, milieux et disciplines à partager leurs réflexions et expériences sur le sujet et les questions connexes telles que l'identité, la migration, la paix, le sens de la citoyenneté, la mondialisation et le développement durable. Irina Bokova, Directrice générale de l'UNESCO, explique la compréhension de l'organisation de l'éducation à la citoyenneté mondiale, et pourquoi l'éducation des adultes et de «l'apprentissage au-delà des salles de classe" sont cruciales en matière de promotion de la citoyenneté mondiale. L'auteur et journaliste canadien Doug Saunders ( «La ville d'arrivée: comment la plus grande migration dans l'histoire remodèle notre monde») parle des défis et des opportunités de ce qu'il appelle la dernière grande migration humaine, celle des campagnes aux villes et Sur le rôle positif que l'éducation des adultes peut jouer au cours de cette transition. Dans la section «La voix des citoyens», des gens du monde entier parlent de ce que la citoyenneté mondiale signifie pour eux et de la manière dont ils se perçoivent comme des citoyens du monde. Et le photographe Viktor Hilitksi a parcouru la Biélorussie et a capturé avec sa caméra comment les villages redécouvrent leurs traditions et cultures locales.
