16 Education must meet the needs of the 21st century: a world which is globalized, mobile, diverse, complex, changing, under tension Quality education = relevant education (living better) More focus on socio-emotional and non-cognitive aspects of learning Shift in pedagogical practices that entail changes in the role of the teacher GCED: Opportunity to update pedagogical practices Shift in education discourse and practices

26 Implementation: teaching and learning methods Active: places emphasis on learning by doing Interactive: based on the debate and democratic exchange between students Relevance: raises real situation problems youth encounter in society or in their community Critical : encourages to think critically by themselves, on the basis of facts Collaborative: working groups Participative: involves youth in the teaching and in school life Access to learning: evaluation system tailored to learning outcomes Values teachers (role models)

27 Implementation Should be adapted to the context: depending on country dynamics, the capacities of students/teachers/administrators; available resources At all levels: classroom, school, local, national and international community (exchanges); didactical practices, content, policies, environment At all ages: through life; formal / non-formal/informal (involvement of other sectors: cultural sector, media)

28 Implementation: selected examples Approach through curricula. Integrated : GCED integrated into existing subjects (ethics, geography, languages, civic education, religious education, health, etc.); eg: Republic of Korea, Colombia, the Philippines. Cross-cutting / stand-alone subject Whole-school approach: UNESCO Teaching Respect for All; GEM Global Study Pass Use of ICTs, e.g. TIGed: http://www.tigweb.org/tiged/?npc http://www.tigweb.org/tiged/?npc Use of arts: http://www.edutopia.org/arts-music-curriculum-child-development http://www.edutopia.org/arts-music-curriculum-child-development Physical and sports education: International Olympic Committee Community approach: link the community with the school
