Education for peace and sustainable development: concepts, clarity and cohesion Year of publication: 2013 Corporate author: Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development (MGIEP) UNESCO MGIEP's focus lies in exploring and engaging with the strong interlinkages between peace and sustainable development and making interventions in the education systems to impart these principles. The first publication from the Institute Education for Peace and Sustainable Development: Concepts, Clarity and Cohesion explores the interlinkages and interdependencies of Education for Peace and Education for Sustainable Development. The monograph contains four concept papers which elaborate on the interlinkages between education, peace and sustainable development, define the gaps in the current approach to education for peace and sustainable development and argue for a comprehensive approach to issues of peace and sustainability to be incorporated in education systems. UNESCO MGIEP aims to develop a theoretical framework to look at the interlinkages between peace and sustainability in a holistic manner and this monograph is the first exercise towards building this discourse.

Rewiring the Brain to be Future-ready: Integrating 21st Century Skills in Education Systems Towards Developing Peaceful & Sustainable Societies (The Blue Dot Issue 6, 2017) Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development (MGIEP) In the sixth issue of the Blue Dot, we focus on the importance of these 21st century skills for the young. The issue includes a foreword by the Minister of Human Resource Development, Government of India on the importance of inculcating 21st century skills in education systems and our Cover Story, which introduces UNESCO MGIEP’s LIBRE programme that follows an ‘integrated brain’ approach to education.Additionally, we feature opinions by specialists from academia, research and the industry on the lacuna present in existing education systems and the opportunities available to address this gap by introducing socio-emotional skills and inquiry oriented learning into curricula. Amongst various experts, we hear from Ines Kudo and Joan Hartley from The World Bank on the importance of ‘Teaching empathy and compassion in schools’; Prof. K.P. Mohanan on ‘Critical Inquiry and Inquiry oriented education’ and Dr. Marilee Bresciani Ludvik on how mindfulness forms the foundation for cultivating compassion.Further, we present excerpts from a collection of ‘Ask me Anything’ sessions focused on socioemotional skills, hosted on Knowledge Commons, UNESCO MGIEP’s knowledge sharing platform.We have been honoured to have the opportunity to host and learn from experts such as Dr. Richard Davidson, recognised as one of ‘The 100 most influential people in the world’ in 2006 by the Time Magazine and Chade-Meng Tan, currently the Chairman of Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute and Co-chair of One Billion Acts of Peace, which has been nominated eight times for the Nobel Peace Prize. 
Education and Crisis (The Blue Dot Issue 3, 2016) Year of publication: 2016 Corporate author: Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development (MGIEP) In this third issue of The Blue Dot, we have chosen to focus on the often forgotten aspect of education in the context of crises. While relief efforts tend to focus on emergency responses such as providing food and shelter, more often than not rebuilding schools and ensuring that students continue to attend their classes are not considered priorities. At UNESCO MGIEP, we believe that when education is relegated to the side-lines, there is little hope for a country and its citizens to recover.In this issue, we have brought together expert contributors from academia and the field—from countries such as Afghanistan, Nepal and South Sudan—and have dedicated a large section to the ongoing civil conflict in Syria, which will soon enter its fifth year. With almost half of Syria’s population living as refugees or as internally displaced persons, an entire generation of young people risks losing out on stability and a better future. Our Syria Section explores how these young people, with a particular focus on those who have sought refuge in Germany, are faring and what their hopes are for the future.In other parts of the magazine, we focus on technology and on how modern information and communications technologies (ICTs) can help students access a better education. From impoverished communities in Calcutta using Skype to connect with teachers around the world, to new interactive platforms built for young people to discuss global issues, we hope the stories and experiences we have collected for our readers will give a new and fresh perspective on what it means for education when a crisis hits. We also hope that you enjoy our photo contest, which drew more than 100 entries from young people around the world on what “education and crisis” means to them. 
Education & Extremism: Waging Peace in the Classroom (The Blue Dot Issue 4, 2016) Year of publication: 2016 Corporate author: Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development (MGIEP) In this fourth issue of The Blue Dot, we have decided to focus on education as a tool for both preventing violent extremism and—sometimes—even propagating extremist ideologies. This issue reflects UNESCO MGIEP’s commitment to advancing the fundamental role of education as a means to changing mindsets and, ultimately, bringing about more peaceful societies.From an interview with award-winning social entrepreneur Prof. Sugata Mitra on the role of technology in revolutionizing education, to a foreword by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on the UN’s response to violent extremism, our contributors come from a host of different countries and backgrounds. What brings them together, however, is a call for changing current education systems. This is espoused even more clearly in a piece by Prof. K.P. Mohanan, who uses inquiry-driven approaches to prompt youth to question blind faith in any form of ideology or indoctrination.In this issue we also discuss UNESCO MGIEP’s activities in raising awareness of the strong link between education and radicalization and violent extremism, including our flagship Talking Across Generations (TAG) event which brought together policymakers and young people in an open discussion in Delhi this February. The outcome was a statement calling for greater inclusiveness and more space for young people to shape the policies that ultimately affect them.Just like our events, The Blue Dot is a platform for individuals from different backgrounds and walks of life who might have divergent ideologies, beliefs, and values, all of which may have prevented them from coming together to debate some of the most pressing issues of our time—including the global concern surrounding the rise in violent extremism. When individuals feel free to discuss, share ideas and question their beliefs, they can begin to think creatively and critically about the world and their surrounding environment. The challenge is to avoid lecturing or preaching to young people, but to provide youth with a safe space to discuss contentious issues in an open, inclusive and transparent manner.An open dialogue on violent extremism is a step towards providing young people with opportunities to ask questions and to reflect on their own beliefs, assumptions, and values, including animosities, prejudices, hatred and intolerance. At UNESCO MGIEP we believe that individuals who feel connected to others across political, religious or cultural divides also share a sense of responsibility for the world in which they live.
