Дата события: 
30.11.2021 - 01.12.2021
Место проведения: 
Seoul, Korea (Online)

The 5th UNESCO Forum on Transformative Education for Sustainable Development, Global Citizenship, Health and Well-being is co-organized by UNESCO and APCEIU, and hosted by the Ministry of Education, Republic of Korea, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Republic of Korea. 

 

The Forum will be fully online.  

 

Education in our contemporary world is expected to instill the set of knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes in lifelong learners to thrive in increasingly diverse and rapidly changing societies and labour markets, but also impart them with a moral compass, purpose and meaning, which contribute to individual and collective well-being. It must equip them with essential ‘transversal’ competencies, such as critical thinking, creativity, empathy, collaborative problem-solving and systems thinking to become change agent to transform our societies for the betterment for all people and the planet as responsible citizens of the global community. It would then allow learners to learn about and shape who they are and what they want to be; to feel connected to their heritage, remain open to other ways of being and willing to learn throughout life. UNESCO has been promoting the transformative power of education since its creation, guided by, among others, the 1974 Recommendation concerning Education for International Understanding, Co-operation and Peace and Education relating to Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms as well as Sustainable Development Goal Target 4.7.

 

In 2021, UNESCO will, for the 5th time, bring together the transformative education community at the UNESCO Forum on Transformative Education for Sustainable Development, Global Citizenship, Health and Well-being. The UNESCO Forum is the only global platform led by the Organization to provide a collective space for education stakeholders working towards the achievement of SDG Target 4.7, which include policy makers, experts, practitioners, teachers, students and development partners. The concerned stakeholders representing all geographical regions gather to learn together about the progress made, limitations, gaps, opportunities related to the implementation of SDG4.7 and transformative education.
