Education for conflict prevention and peacebuilding: meeting the global challenges of the 21st century Год публикации: 2012 Автор: Phyllis Kotite Организация-автор: UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP) The 21st century is witnessing global concern over the interrelated effects of climate change, the economic crisis, energy depletion, food and water shortages, natural disasters and conflicts all of which have devastating effects on humanity and the future of the planet. These events impact education systems and can impair the ability of governments to provide quality education for their citizens. However, when governments and ministries of education analyse and anticipate the risk of such events through careful planning, education can play an important role in preventing violent conflict, and in supporting peacebuilding efforts. An estimated 1.5 billion people live in countries affected by repeated cycles of political and other forms of violence, and the same population is often affected by hunger and poverty. Furthermore, such countries have difficulty meeting development goals. For example, no low-income fragile or conflict-affected country has yet achieved a single MDG (World Bank, 2011). In 2010 world military expenditures reached US$1.6 trillion as a result of fifteen ongoing conflicts (SIPRI, 2011). Yet, it is estimated that only US$16 billion is needed to fill the education gap to reach the EFA goals (UNESCO, 2011b: 11). This paper argues that we have the knowledge, legal instruments and mechanisms to prevent conflict and to transfer resources to sustainable development and education to meet the challenges of the 21st century. The paper describes a range of conflict prevention initiatives and examines the role of policy-makers, youth, women, and the media in maintaining and restoring peace as part of a holistic vision of education. International institutions, governments and civil society are increasingly developing conflict prevention mechanisms and utilizing political and economic incentives to avoid conflicts. They are also creating new technology for sustainable development, adaptation to climate change and renewable forms of energy. Educational planning must therefore go beyond traditional mechanisms. It must take into consideration the unpredictable nature of our times; be flexible and rapid in implementation and responsive to local needs. Training and research in sustainable development; and skills for peaceful inter-human relations, good governance, the prevention of conflict and peacebuilding are priorities elaborated in the paper. In addition, specific recommendations are highlighted such as: capacity development for conflict prevention within the education sector and other ministries, analysing the root causes of conflict and the role that education can play in mitigating tensions. This paper is an elaboration of Chapter 1.2 of the IIEP-UNESCO Guidebook for Planning Education in Emergencies and Reconstruction (IIEP-UNESCO, 2010). A brief treatment of additional global challenges (e.g. water scarcity, food insufficiency, energy depletion and economic instability), which are beyond the educational focus of this paper, may be found in Annex I.

Trust me Год публикации: 2016 Организация-автор: Childnet International The main aim of this resource is to educate young people about inaccurate and pervasive information that they might come across online. This resource is intended to stimulate and facilitate discussions around online risk.Developed in partnership with the London Grid for Learning (LGfL) Safeguarding Board, the resource contains lesson plans for both primary and secondary level that aim to empower educators to discuss how to think critically around the areas of content, contact, and propaganda material that may seek to persuade or change their views. Does vicarious experience of suffering affect empathy for an adversary? The effects of Israelis’ visits to Auschwitz on their empathy for Palestinians Empathy for the adversary is part of peace education. Does the vicarious experience of suffering affect empathy towards the suffering of an adversary? Specifically, does the visit of Israeli youth to Auschwitz affect their empathy toward the Palestinians? Three hundred and nine high school students participated in the study: One half went on the journey, while the other, comparable half, served as a control group. Findings tended to support the hypotheses. The journey increased empathy among participants with initially more positive attitudes toward the Palestinians but it also decreased empathy among those with initially more negative ones. The choice of nationalistic lessons about the holocaust affected feelings of pride and identification with the victims but not empathy. The choice of universalistic lessons affected feelings of fear and helplessness and contributed to increased empathy. Conclusions are drawn pertaining to peace education programs aiming at increasing empathy toward an adversary. (By the author) Peace education in formal schools of West Africa: an implementation guide Год публикации: 2012 Организация-автор: West Africa Network for Peacebuilding (WANEP) This guide, first and foremost, seeks to bring hope and provide opportunity for practitioners to use tried and tested techniques to develop capacities of young people to build requisite knowledge and skills to become credible and responsible leaders. It provides both a conceptual and practical framework of peace education and confirms the potential benefits of Peace Education, particularly in the formal sector. It has been developed based on the extensive experience of WANEP’s Peace Education programme across West Africa and this experience has been outlined in great detail throughout the manual. The guide lays emphasis on entry points for developing and initiating Peace Education programmes in schools and provides practical tools for engaging various stakeholders and the wide range of potential roles they can play. In terms of the content of a peace education programme, guidelines are provided on developing a comprehensive programme that integrates effectively key concepts such as Gender and Human Rights. Critical issues of sustainability, resource mobilisation and monitoring and evaluation are covered using practical case studies based on the WANEP experience. The concluding chapter is devoted to addressing some Frequently Asked Questions. This laudable initiative and recommend this guide for adoption by West African states and institutions especially the educational sector as a tool for inculcating a culture of peace and nonviolence amongst children.The guide is divided into six chapters.Chapter 1 consists of introduction and the conceptual definition of basic philosophy that influenced the peace education program of WANEP. It also examines the role of peace education on the psycho social behaviour of youths in West Africa.Chapter 2 highlights WANEP’s guiding principles to the development of its peace education in the sub region and also the basic steps it took to implement its program in the seven (7) pilot states.Chapter 3 looks at how to mobilise resources to sustain the peace education program especially within the context of West Africa.Chapter 4 highlights the challenges that WANEP encountered in implementing the program.Chapter 5 emphasises the importance of monitoring and evaluation for impact and success of a peace education program.Chapter 6 deals with frequently asked questions by interested stakeholders. 
Learning to live together Год публикации: 2014 Организация-автор: UNESCO Bangkok The importance of LTLT has increased in recent years. Indeed, relevant competencies appear to be gaining focus in international frameworks and educational initiatives across countries. This is all the more necessary as Voogt and Roblin (2012) argue, given the demands of our increasingly knowledge-based society in which “ideas and knowledge function as commodities” (p. 299 –300) and to which effective social and emotional skills are critical. It is perhaps all the more critical given the multivariate global challenges in the 21st Century and the need for unified global commitment to effectively combat these challenges. In this context, the significance of LTLT is reflected in both the rise of and growing interest in Global Citizenship Education (GCE), Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), Education for International Understanding (EIU) as well as peace and human rights education. The UN Secretary-General’s Global Education First Initiative, which lists ‘Fostering Global Citizenship’ as one of its three global priorities, also implicitly recognizes the significance of LTLT as a precursor to the building of a more peaceful society, one in which discrimination is intolerable and common challenges such as climate change and abject poverty are tackled together.Yet despite the significance of LTLT in the 21st Century, and despite numerous international initiatives to foster LTLT competencies, there is a large gap of evidence identifying how this supposition is translated into effective policy and curricula, and eventually into the reality of schools, teachers and learners. This report is a response to this gap, and attempts to understand how ten selected countries in the Asia-Pacific region – Afghanistan, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, The Philippines, Republic of Korea, Sri Lanka and Thailand – have reflected and integrated LTLT into their education policies and initiatives. This variety of countries aims to reflect their diverse experiences in terms of reflecting LTLT through their education systems. By exploring a number of areas, namely policy, curricula, teachers and assessment, this study aims to identify what has so far been achieved in education systems of the Asia-Pacific region in the area of LTLT.This report is therefore targeted predominantly at education policy makers, researchers, academics as well as education practitioners of the Asia-Pacific region. Given its connection to Global Citizenship Education and other relevant international initiatives around sustainability and peace education, this report is also relevant to UNESCO’s partner organizations and the broader educational development community.This report will first present the research framework for the study, before exploring the social and economic contexts in the ten selected countries and wider regional factors in the Asia-Pacific in relation to global challenges in Chapter Two. Chapter Three will then examine national policy frameworks, including the vision of those policies in defining LTLT in education. Chapter Four focuses on the national curriculum in selected countries and the extent to which they incorporate learning objectives, subjects, and extra-curricular activities reflecting the concept of LTLT and related skills and competencies. In Chapter Five, teaching practices are examined, including the role of teachers and teacher education, as well as teaching methods and application of media and information literacy (MIL) in the classroom. Chapter Six then looks at assessment, and how far countries have attempted to develop assessment frameworks that measure the skills and competencies related to LTLT. Finally, Chapter Seven provides reflections and conclusions based on the main findings of the study, while also identifying trends across policy domains, shortcomings and some policy considerations. Learning to live together: have we failed? A summary of the ideas and contributions arising from the forty-sixth session of UNESCO's International Conference on Education, Geneva, 5-8 September 2001 Год публикации: 2003 Организация-автор: UNESCO International Bureau of Education (IBE) | UNESCO Brasilia The present book is based mainly on the work of the forty-sixth session of the International Conference on Education (ICE), organized by UNESCO’s International Bureau of Education (IBE) and held in Geneva from 5 to 8 September 2001. The theme of the conference was ‘Education for All for Learning to Live Together: Contents and Learning Strategies - Problems and Solutions’. Unless stated otherwise, the numerous quotations chosen to illustrate the points made in this book are from ICE documents and contributions. The Conclusions and Proposals for Action adopted by the 2001 ICE are provided in Chapter V.The ICE is the only regularly occurring event during which Ministers of Education from all over the world can meet. It therefore serves as a unique and highly appreciated international forum for high-level dialogue on educational issues and their policy implications.The 2001 ICE brought together over 600 participants from 127 countries, including in particular 80 Ministers and 10 Vice-Ministers of Education, as well as representatives of intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations. The themes of the 2001 ICE were, and still are, very relevant all over the world: those in charge of education have become well aware of the necessity and complexity of living together, as well as of the role and limits of education in this respect.The ICE was inspired by abundant literature dealing with the principle issues that participants debated, including: Preparatory reports; National reports presented by the Member States; Examples of initiatives and good practice (including those presented at the conference as video case studies); Messages from Ministers of Education attending the Conference; And contributions from the numerous researchers, experts, educationists and decision makers at all levels of education who also participated in the Netforum between April and August 2001. More information and opinions on the vast issue of Education for All for Learning to Live Together were added during the Conference itself, in the form of keynote addresses, presentations and debates during the two plenary sessions, six thematic workshops and the special session devoted to partnerships with civil society.The present book draws on this wealth of experience, research, opinions, ideas and visions of the future. It seeks to contribute to bringing the debate on Education for All for Learning to Live Together closer to actors of the global educational community. By setting out ins concise way the key issues and proposed actions, and illustrating them with concrete examples, numerous quotations and a number of questions, this book is intended particularly for teacher trainers, teachers themselves and their professional organizations, as well as for all actors in civil society who endeavour to improve the quality of education, to encourage dialogue and to foster in this way the capacity for living together.Neither a ‘conference report’ nor a scientific or academic work, this book is intended to be a sort of ‘gallery of photographs’ of the forty-sixth session of the ICE – its atmosphere of dialogue, the themes of its debates, and the first-hand descriptions and experiences exchanged. Far from prescribing norms or standards, it intends to share information, ideas and practices, rather like the ICE itself, in a spirit of exchange and dialogue. 
Schools for Conflict or for Peace in Afghanistan Год публикации: 2015 Автор: Dana Burde The publication provides a systematic analysis of the relationship between education and conflict, tracing how different approaches have been applied in Afghanistan as the rationale for aid has shifted from a policy of benign neglect, to an effort to support war, to an effort to mitigate conflict. Using this history as a case study, the book explores how foreign intervention in education can contribute either to conflict or to peace.. Engaging and Educating Women and Girls in the Prevention of Violent Conflict and Violent Extremism Год публикации: 2014 Автор: Kathleen Kuehnast Организация-автор: United States Institute of Peace (USIP) Dr. Kathleen Kuehnast, director of the Center for Gender and Peacebuilding at the U.S. Institute of Peace, testified on the importance of engaging and educating women and girls in conflict zones in order to prevent and mitigate violent conflict and violent extremism. 
Embracing Peace through UNESCO World Heritage Год публикации: 2024 Автор: 장정아 | 김민성 | 김수진 | 김원호 | 안치영 | 오성희 | 오창현 | 이성영 | 이현경 | 전원희 Организация-автор: Korean National Commission for UNESCO This resource kit is the product of long labor by 10 researchers consisting of scholars on UNESCO heritage and teachers working in schools that belong to the UNESCO Associated Schools Network (ASPnet). It is distinct from existing educational resources in several ways. First, this kit goes beyond introducing the variously inscribed World Heritage properties one after another, to explain the rich significance of the heritage properties through keywords such as peace, cultural diversity, and sustainability. We also sought to overcome misconceptions about World Heritage and presented the content through various interesting cases for easy, hands-on application in classroom settings. In 2024, KNCU has pilot-tested the teaching materials presented in this resource kit in Korean middle and high schools belonging to UNESCO ASPnet. An online teacher training course based on this book has also been provided in June this year.
