Sandwatch: adapting to climate change and educating for sustainable development Год публикации: 2010 Автор: Gillian Cambers | Paul Diamond Организация-автор: UNESCO Sandwatch provides a framework for children, youth and adults, with the help of teachers and local communities, to work together to critically evaluate the problems and conflicts facing their beach environments, and to develop sustainable approaches to address these issues. It also helps beaches become more resilient to climate change. The preliminary chapters of this publication focus on how to get started with Sandwatch activities and examine ways to address climate change impacts. The principle aim of this publication is to document the Sandwatch methodology: monitoring, analysing, sharing and taking action. An activities-orientated approach is used to provide step-by-step instructions to cover monitoring methods and data analysis, including observation and recording, erosion and accretion, beach composition, human activities, beach debris, water quality, waves, longshore currents, plants and animals. The activities are related to (a) sustainable development issues, including: beach ownership, mining beaches for construction material, conflict resolution between different beach users, pollution, conservation of endangered species, and (b) climate change adaptation issues: sea level rise, rising temperatures, ocean acidification and increased extreme events. Ways to share findings and create a Sandwatch network are detailed including methods such as the use of local media, websites, social networking and video production. Finally, ways are discussed to design, plan and implement a Sandwatch project to fulfill one or all of the following criteria: (a) addressing a particular beach-related issue, (b) enhancing the beach, and (c) promoting climate change adaptation. Sandwatch stands as an example of Education for Sustainable Development in action, and is being targeted as one of several flagship projects for the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005–2014). As the world confronts the growing threat of climate change, Sandwatch presents an opportunity to help people and ecosystems respond to present and future changes in a practical manner. Beaches are among the ecosystems most at risk from climate change as they face rising sea levels and increased more intense storms. By contributing to ecosystem health and resilience, Sandwatch can help people from all walks of life learn about climate change and how their actions can contribute to the adaptation process.
Fostering peaceful co-existence through analysis and revision of history curricula and textbooks in Southeast Europe: preliminary stocktaking report Год публикации: 2006 Автор: Jean Damascène Gasanabo | Jade Maître Организация-автор: UNESCO To accomplish this aim, the study reviews policies and processes for developing history curricula and producing history textbooks in ten participating countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Romania, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia and The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM). The resulting report has been compiled for the dual purpose of (1) presenting a composite picture of the educational policies and practices in these countries with regard to history teaching and textbook production, distribution and use; (2) laying the groundwork for the development of national and/or sub-regional initiatives aimed at improving the processes currently in place.
Favoriser la coexistence pacifique par l'analyse et la révision des programmes et manuels d'histoire en Europe du Sud-Est: rapport préliminaire d'inventaire Год публикации: 2006 Автор: Jean Damascène Gasanabo | Jade Maître Организация-автор: Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO) Pour atteindre cet objectif, l'étude examine les politiques et les processus d'élaboration des programmes d'histoire et de la production de manuels d'histoire dans dix pays participants: Albanie, Bosnie-Herzégovine, Bulgarie, Croatie, Grèce, Roumanie, Monténégro, Serbie, Slovénie et l'ancienne République yougoslave de Macédoine (ARYM). Le rapport qui en résulte a été compilé dans le double but de (1) présentant une image composite des politiques et pratiques éducatives dans ces pays en ce qui concerne l'enseignement de l'histoire et de la production de manuels scolaires, la distribution et l'utilisation; (2) jeter les bases pour le développement d'initiatives nationales et / ou sous-régionaux visant à améliorer les processus actuellement en place.
