Introduction

Launched in 2012, the Asia-Pacific Teacher Exchange for Global Education (APTE) marks its 10th anniversary this year with a solid record of steady growth. The Programme started with only two countries— Mongolia and the Philippines—and has since added five more: Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, and Thailand. Even the COVID-19 pandemic has not impeded the APTE’s development and instead provided the basis for an online form of educational exchange. Over the past decade, more than 2,000 teachers in Korea and the partner countries participated in the APTE and guided numerous students. This was thanks to the unwavering support of teachers who sought dissemination of the value of Global Citizenship Education, a key element of UNESCO’s educational agenda. We express our deepest appreciation to the teachers and students who took part in the APTE. Human ties going beyond national borders are rare and precious. This project has tied many people around the world, with the teachers and students who participated continuing efforts to further consolidate their ties. To assist and facilitate teachers’ efforts toward follow-up activities after participating in the APTE, the Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding (APCEIU) under the auspices of UNESCO has released these guidelines on follow-up activities. Encouraging all teachers who are determined to continue Global Citizenship Education in the wider world, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the writers and researchers for their dedication toward the publication of this book. We sincerely hope that these guidelines promote follow-up activities for international education exchange and its sustainability
