Mobile Learning as a Catalyst to Global Citizenship Education in China: Case Study by the UNESCO-Fazheng Project on Best Practices in Mobile Learning Year of publication: 2019 Author: Yao Yu | Shutong Wang | Lucy Emerson Haagen Corporate author: UNESCO The Beijing Royal School was one of the pioneer schools in China in incorporating mobile learning into pedagogical transformation. Its mobile learning programme started in 2010. Stemming from the school’s orientation towards global citizenship education, the Beijing Royal School recognizes mobile learning as both driver and enabler for supporting the development of students’ cognitive, socio-emotionaland behavioural dimensions, organized around knowledge acquisition, understanding and respect for difference and diversity, and responsible engagement with global issues. It takes advantage of a variety of mobile apps to support students’ multilingual education, and uses open educational resources (OER) to support multicultural education, taking advantage of the up-to-date worldwide data and information available on the web. It also engages with students from other countries in projects and courses that help the students to widen their understanding of diverse cultures and social contexts. Overall, this case study illustrates how to use mobile technologies to support the implementation of a well-defined and clearly structured educational vision by embedding the use of mobile technologies in students’ daily learning lives.

Informe de seguimiento de la educación en el mundo 2020: Inclusión y educación: Todos y todas sin excepción Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: Global Education Monitoring Report Team | Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura (UNESCO) En el Informe de Seguimiento de la Educación en el Mundo 2020 se examinan los mecanismos sociales, económicos y culturales que discriminan a niños, jóvenes y adultos desprotegidos, manteniéndolos excluidos de la educación o marginados dentro de ella. Estimulados por su compromiso de hacer realidad el derecho a la educación inclusiva, los países están ampliando su visión de la inclusión en la educación y otorgando a la diversidad un lugar central en sus sistemas. Sin embargo, la aplicación de leyes y políticas bienintencionadas suele flaquear. El informe, publicado a principios del decenio de acción que culmina en 2030 y en el contexto de la crisis de Covid-19 que ha exacerbado las desigualdades subyacentes, sostiene que la resistencia a atender las necesidades de todos los educandos es una verdadera amenaza para el logro de los objetivos mundiales de educación.En Inclusión y educación: todos y todas sin excepción se definen prácticas en materia de gobernanza y finanzas; planes de estudios, manuales escolares y evaluaciones; formación de los docentes; infraestructura escolar; y relaciones con los alumnos, los padres y las comunidades que pueden desbloquear el proceso hacia la inclusión. Se formulan recomendaciones de política para que la diversidad de los educandos sea una fuerza que se valora, una fuerza de cohesión social.Dos nuevos sitios web complementan la cuarta edición del Informe de Seguimiento de la Educación en el Mundo. Education Profiles (Perfiles educativos) describe la manera en que los países abordan la inclusión, y constituye un medio útil para el diálogo sobre políticas. Education Progress (El Progreso de la educación) brinda la oportunidad de interactuar con los datos y explorar una serie de indicadores del ODS 4. 
Holocaust Education in a Global Context: Report Year of publication: 2013 Corporate author: UNESCO Teaching and learning about the Holocaust, which until this point had largely been a matter of regional interest, for Europeans, as well as North Americans and Israelis, became officially an issue of universal concern. Other countries are now invited to teach about the Holocaust even if they do not have a direct link to the event. This raises many issues concerning the pedagogical implications of this global perspective on Holocaust education. Why and how is the Holocaust taught in countries that have no connections with the genocide and the history of the Jewish people? How does this history connect and resonate with the preoccupations of these countries? Generally speaking, what could be the purposes and the benefits of teaching about the Holocaust globally?In order to address these issues, UNESCO organized an experts-meeting on 27 April 2012, in partnership with the Topography of Terror Foundation (Berlin, Germany). The purpose was specifically to clarify the following questions: What are the current trends of Holocaust education worldwide? How can the Holocaust be studied in a comparative fashion in the classroom? In which ways does Holocaust education contribute to the prevention of genocide? Furthermore, how is it taught in a human rights education perspective? Can the Holocaust provide a suitable framework to address other traumatic events of the past? 
UNESCO 2017: Annual Report 2017 Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: UNESCO This Annual Report takes stock of these actions and many others, undertaken during the mandate of the former Director-General, Irina Bokova, to whom I wish to pay tribute.

Country Progress on Climate Change Education, Training and Public Awareness: An Analysis of Country Submissions Under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: UNESCO Since its entry into force, the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Article 6 has recognised the importance of ‘education, training and public awareness’ in mitigating ‘dangerous human interference with the climate system’. Article 12 of the Paris Agreement (2015) reaffirms this recognition.This document provides a status report on the implementation of climate change education in countries. It outlines key findings from an analysis of country submissions to the UNFCCC Secretariat as part of UNFCCC reporting processes and highlights achievements and remaining gaps in the area of climate change education.The analysis shows that almost all countries include some reference to climate change education in their country submissions under the UNFCCC reporting processes. This shows a certain level of commitment, which provides a good basis to further scale up educational responses to climate change. However, important gaps remain. Addressing them will be crucial in order to fully mobilize the power of education in response to this greatest challenge of our times. Progrès nationaux en matière d'éducation, de formation et de sensibilisation du public aux changements climatiques: Analyse des comptes rendus nationaux au titre de la Convention-cadre des Nations Unies sur les changements climatiques Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO) Depuis son entrée en vigueur, la Convention-cadre des Nations Unies sur les changements climatiques (CCNUCC, 1992) reconnaît, dans son article 6, l’importance de l’éducation, de la formation et de la sensibilisation du public pour atténuer toute perturbation anthropique dangereuse du système climatique. L’article 12 de l’Accord de Paris (2015) réaffirme cette prise de conscience.Le présent document dresse un état des lieux de la mise en place de l’éducation aux changements climatiques dans les pays. Il souligne les principaux résultats issusde l’analyse des comptes rendus nationaux présentés au Secrétariat de la CCNUCC dans le cadre du processus d’établissement des communications à ce titre. Il met en lumière les réalisations accomplies et les lacunes à combler dans le domaine de l’éducation aux changements climatiques.L’analyse démontre que pratiquement tous les pays mentionnent l’éducation aux changements climatiques dans leurs comptes rendus nationaux soumis dans le cadre du processus d’établissement des communications au titre de la CCNUCC. Cela démontre un certain niveau d’engagement, garantie d’une bonne base pour renforcer les actions éducatives face aux changements climatiques. Cependant, d’importantes disparités persistent. Il sera crucial de les résorber afin de mobiliser le plein potentiel de l’éducation pour affronter le plus grand défi de notre époque.
