UNESCO education strategy 2014-2021 Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: UNESCO This publication is a result of extensive collective work by my colleagues in UNESCO’s Education Sector over the past two years. It elaborates on UNESCO’s Medium-Term Strategy (2014–2021), which was drafted by the Organization’s Secretariat and approved by the 37th session of its General Conference in November 2013. This publication elaborates on the education component of the Medium-Term Strategy. While continuing to focus efforts on the ‘unfinished business’ of EFA, such as literacy, teachers and vocational skills development, UNESCO will lead and advocate for strengthened action towards empowering learners to be creative and responsible citizens. In a world of change, when individuals are increasingly called upon to make a positive contribution to their communities through the promotion of peace, solidarity, and respect for others and the environment, I am convinced that Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship Education must also be considered crucial elements for well-rounded educational systems. UNESCO education strategy 2014-2021 Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: UNESCO Cette publication est le résultat d'une vaste travail collectif par mes collègues dans le secteur de l'éducation de l'UNESCO au cours des deux dernières années. Il élabore sur la stratégie à moyen terme de l'UNESCO (2014-2021), qui a été élaboré par le Secrétariat de l'Organisation et approuvé par la 37e session de la Conférence Générale en Novembre 2013. Cette publication développe sur le volet éducation de la Stratégie à Moyen Terme. Tout en continuant à concentrer les efforts sur le «travail inachevé» de l'EPT, tels que l'alphabétisation, les enseignements et le développement des compétences professionnelles, l'UNESCO dirigera et plaider pour une action renforcée vers l'autonomisation des apprenants à être des citoyens créatifs et responsables. Dans un monde de changement, lorsque les individus sont de plus en plus appelés à apporter une contribution positive à leurs communautés par la promotion de la paix, la solidarité et le respect des autres et de l'environnement, je suis convaincu que l'Éducation pour le Développement Durable et de l'Éducation à la Citoyenneté Mondiale doivent aussi être considérés comme des éléments cruciaux pour les systèmes éducatifs bien arrondis. 
Наше творч разно: Доклад Всемирной комиссии по культуре и развитию; сокращенный вариант Year of publication: 1996 Corporate author: World Commission on Culture and Development This report is designed to address a diversified audience across the world that ranges from community activists, field workers, artists and scholars to government officials and politicians. We want it to inform the world’s opinion leaders and to guide its policy-makers. We want it to capture the attention of the world’s intellectual and artistic communities, as well as the general public. We aim to have shown them how culture shapes all our thinking, imagining and behaviour. It is the transmission of behaviour as well as a dynamic source for change, creativity, freedom and the awakening of innovative opportunities. For groups and societies, culture is energy, inspiration and empowerment, as well as the knowledge and acknowledgment of diversity: if cultural diversity is ‘behind us, around us and before us”, as Claude L&i-Strauss put it, we must learn how to let it lead not to the clash of cultures, but to their fruitful coexistence and to intercultural harmony. Just as in the tasks of building peace and consolidating democratic values, an indivisible set of goals, so too economic and political rights cannot be realized separately from social and cultural rights. The challenge to humanity is to adopt new ways of thinking, new ways of acting, new ways of organizing itself in society, in short, new ways of living. The challenge is also to promote different paths of development, informed by a recognition of how cultural factors shape the way in which societies conceive their own futures and choose the means to attain these futures. I have for some time been concerned with the “culture of peace”. There is now considerable evidence that neglect of human development has been one of the principal causes of wars and internal armed conflicts, and that these, in turn, retard human development. With government complicity and with the intention of raising export receipts, private businesses continue to sell advanced military technology, nuclear materials and equipment for the production of bacteriological and chemical warfare. The concept of state sovereignty which still prevails today has increasingly come under scrutiny. In the area of peace-keeping, the distinction between external aggression and internal oppression is often unrealistic. The predominant threat to stability are violent conflicts within countries and not between them. There is an urgent need to strengthen international human rights law. Many of the most serious troubles come from within states – either because of ethnic strife or repressive measures by governments. Conditions that lead to tyranny and large-scale violations of human rights at home sooner or later are likely to spill over into a search for enemies abroad. The temptation of repressive states to export internal difficulties is great. Consider the Soviet Union’s invasion of Hungary and Czechoslovakia after it had used domestic oppression and the persistent refusal - for many years - of the previous South African governments to grant independence to Namibia. An ounce of prevention is better than a ton of punishment. 
Women’s Education: Promoting Development, Countering Radicalism Year of publication: 2014 Author: Hedieh Mirahmadi Corporate author: World Organization for Resource Development and Education (WORDE) Increasing access to quality secular education can create better jobs for women and reduce some of the economic drivers of radicalization.
