Dr Toh Swee-Hin, Dr Jose Roberto Guevara, Dr Haelim Cho, Dr Jefferson Plantilla, Mr Dylan Wray, Ms Lea Espallardo, Ms Jennifer Geist, Ms Chen Yoke Pin participated as a facilitator to provide lectures and presentations. Alumni of APCEIU also shared their experiences and projects and requested the participants for alternative and innovative ideas and approaches.

Despite the time zone difference, all participants enthusiastically participated in all real-time and non-real-time sessions and were willing to participate in small group meetings online even after the regular session, reviewing their learnings and sharing ideas. On September 7, 2022, the 7th Global Capacity-Building Workshop on GCED ended with the closing ceremony of Lim Hyun-mook, Director of UNESCO APCEIU.

Participants who have successfully completed the 7th Global Capacity-Building Workshop on GCED are given the opportunity to apply for the mentorship by APCEIU’s experts group, where they will be provided with the advice on their project planning and implementation, along with the grant for project execution by APCEIU. Moreover, for those who wish to deepen their knowledge and gain practical skills on SEL(Social and Emotional Learning) in relation to GCED shall be provided another type of mentorship facilitated by an expert on SEL. This two-tracked mentorship system is designed to better reflect the needs of the participants so that it can help deepen and strengthen the capacities of them and maximize the ripple effects of the workshop in their local communities or countries.
