Agree to Differ Year of publication: 2015 Corporate author: UNESCO Dialogue on the basis of respect, tolerance, human rights and dignity has never been so important. This is the spirit of the International Decade for the Rapprochement of Cultures (2013-2022). The International Decade originates in the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 67/104 adopted in December 2012, co-sponsored by Kazakhstan and designating UNESCO as lead agency. This drew on a Resolution of the UNESCO General Conference and the experience of the 2010 International Year for the Rapprochement of Cultures which UNESCO led forward with activities across the world.The objective of the International Decade is to promote mutual understanding and respect for diversity, rights and equal dignity between peoples, through intercultural dialogue and concrete initiatives. This is essential for all societies today, undergoing deep transformation. The surge of conflict, acts of violence, extremism and intolerance pose a threat to peace, undermining the unity of humanity and calling on us all to redouble our efforts to advance a culture of peace, through dialogue, the safeguarding of cultural heritage, and the promotion of global citizenship education.The International Decade for the Rapprochement of Cultures embodies a commitment to explore new articulations between cultural diversity and universal values. The rapprochement of cultures calls for a commitment to the principles of human dignity and solidarity as the corner stones of living together within and between societies, making the most of all sources of diversity.This publication bears testimony to the urgency of addressing contemporary challenges through intercultural and interreligious dialogue in order to deepen understanding and cooperation for peace. Through concrete examples, including experiences at the community level from across the world, the publication showcases why cultural diversity, intercultural dialogue and responsive democratic governance are vital for the enhancement of mutual understanding, the growth of tolerance, and the building of bridges of mutual respect and dignity. 
Global Citizenship Education: Taking It Local Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: UNESCO UNESCO is leading global efforts on Global Citizenship Education (GCED), which is at the core of Target 4.7 of Sustainable Development Goal 4 on Education.

Afin de clarifier la perception selon laquelle le concept de l’éducation à la citoyenneté mondiale concerne principalement des questions mondiales et qu’il est peut-être dissocié des réalités et des besoins locaux, l’UNESCO a identifié des préceptes et des concepts locaux/nationaux/traditionnels qui sont comparables à la compréhension qu’a l’UNESCO de la citoyenneté mondiale. En tant qu’expressions culturellement pertinentes de l’éducation à la citoyenneté mondiale, et dans le but de contribuer à l’édification de la paix grâce à la mise en oeuvre de l’éducation à la citoyenneté mondiale, les concepts identifiés dans ce document peuvent servir de points d’entrée pour enseigner l’éducation à la citoyenneté mondiale et pour l’apprendre, de manière plus pertinente au niveau local. 
Global Citizenship Education and the Rise of Nationalist Perspectives: Reflections and Possible Ways Forward Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: UNESCO | APCEIU Over the past few years, many have observed a rise in nationalist perspectives across the world. These trends raise questions about the role of education and, in particular, one of UNESCO’s key areas of work in the field of education, namely Global Citizenship Education (GCED), which seeks to equip learners with the skills, values and attitudes needed to contribute to the development of peaceful and just societies. This paper seeks to clarify the evidence of the rise of nationalist perspectives and its causes, and to lay out how GCED is challenged by this phenomenon. It recommends ways forward for education stakeholders in promoting GCED, in order to strengthen ‘learning to live together’ by embedding GCED meaningfully in local and country contexts. 세계시민교육과 민족주의적 관점의 부상: 성찰과 나아갈 길 Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: 유네스코 | 유네스코 아시아태평양 국제이해교육원 지난 몇 년간 많은 이들이 전 세계에서 민족주의적 관점의 부상을 목도해왔다. 이에 관해 평론가들은 배타성과 외국인 공포증, 때로 인종주의적 주장과 공공장소 내 폭력적 행위가 증가하고 있는 것뿐만 아니라, 일부 국가에서 경제적 보호주의에 더욱 중점을 두는 현상에 대해 언급해왔다. 이러한 추세는 교육의 역할에 대해 많은 의문을 불러일으키고 있으며, 특히 평화롭고 공정한 사회의 발전에 필요한 능력·가치·태도 함양을 목적으로 하는, 유네스코 교육 분야의 핵심 사업인 세계시민교육(GCED, Global Citizenship Education)에 있어 심각한 도전이 되고 있다. 이 책에서는 민족주의적 관점이 부상하고 있다는 증거 및 그 원인을 규명하고, 이러한 현상으로부터 세계시민교육이 어떠한 도전을 받고 있는지를 보여주고자 한다. 이 책은 유네스코의 사업과 더불어 세계시민교육을 추진하는 다른 교육 종사자들에게 앞으로 나아갈 수 있는 방안을 권고하고자 한다.
