The GCED Cooperation Centre (GCC) Programme is one of the APCEIU’s flagship Programmes, currently operating in 6 countries, with 2 more countries expected to join this year. Hosted at SEAMEO CED, the GCC-Lao PDR was launched in 2023. This year, starting from Luang Prabang Teacher Training College, the GCC-Lao PDR is planning to enhance the understanding and the capacity of the teacher educators through the Training of Trainers Workshop on GCED for teacher educators at 8 Teacher Training Colleges (TCCs) in Lao PDR. 

Co-organized by the GCC-Lao PDR and Luang Prabang Teacher Training College, and sponsored and in partnership with APCEIU, the Workshop was participated by 48 trainees, who are teacher educators at the Luang Prabang TTC, and resource persons from APCEIU, the National University of Laos, the Research Institute for Education Science (RIES), the Lao National Commission for UNESCO, and the Ministry of Education and Sports of Lao PDR.

The first day of the workshop sessions started with participants sharing their understanding of GCED and their expectations of this workshop. This was followed by various activities for understanding interconnectedness and diversity, as well as introductory sessions on the GCED Framework, GCED as a global agenda, and its promotion in the Asia-Pacific region.

The second day of the workshop consisted of the introduction of GCED practices in Schools, including the case from the Republic of Korea, the case from Lao Secondary education, higher education, and teacher education by diverse experts from APCEIU, National University of Laos, Research Institute for Education Science, Lao National Commission for UNESCO, and the Ministry of Education and Sports.

On the last day, all the participants were divided into 5 groups to make action plans on the topics they had chosen. These 5 groups presented the GCED content and Teaching techniques on themes such as world heritage, climate change, sustainable tourism, etc.

The workshop provided the opportunity to enhance the comprehensive understanding of GCED, case studies, and its application and integration into their teaching and learning curricula in the local context by engaging the schools and local communities in the activities.
