ABOUT

Our lives are closely interconnected beyond national boundaries, and our lives are also connected with nature. This has been true all the time, but is more so in today's increasingly globalizing world. Global Citizenship Education (GCED) aims to empower learners to be creative and responsible global citizens in such a world. It enables learners to critically understand the root causes of inequalities, discrimination, hatred, violence, and unsustainable relationships with nature, to have empathy and show solidarity, especially with vulnerable people and also with nature, and to cooperate with each other and take collective action to build more just, peaceful, inclusive, and sustainable societies.

Since its establishment in 2000 by an agreement between UNESCO and the Government of the Republic of Korea, the Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding (APCEIU) has pursued the mission of promoting education for international understanding and global citizenship towards a culture of peace. APCEIU has made tireless efforts to make progress in this crucial task through its five major programmes: research and policy development, capacity-building, development of teaching and learning materials, international teacher exchange, and information sharing and networking.

As Mme. Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO, has mentioned in her preface to 《20 Year History of APCEIU》, "the Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding, based in Seoul, Korea, has played a key role in these efforts to advance Global Citizenship Education. This Centre, working under the auspices of UNESCO in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond, has worked to build the capacity of teachers and educators, develop research and policy, disseminate and foster the sharing of experience."

Recognizing the growing significance of GCED, APCEIU is striving to promote GCED across the world.
