The Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding (APCEIU) was established in 2000 as a UNESCO Category 2 centre to promote education for a Culture of Peace. APCEIU is working in close collaboration with UNESCO Offices, National Commissions of Member States, related educational institutes, and civil society to promote global citizenship education (GCED) under the framework of education for international understanding (EIU) towards a Culture of Peace.

 

APCEIU has devoted itself to strengthening GCED/EIU capacities by pursuing its philosophy and policies through training teachers and teacher trainers; research and policy development; developing educational materials and programs; organizing different levels of workshops and conferences; and strengthening the network of teachers, educators, experts, civil society leaders and other stakeholders.

Course Reviews

  • Ren Magoncia
    I think this course has given me insights on how to even enrich and make my lessons meaningful and profound. By integrating GCED to some of my lessons I am imparting knowledge but also to encourage students to think and make actions to global issues we are facing. With that I thankful for this course and may this reached to even more teachers.
  • Jayvee Silvia

    I attended the first class in which I could share the dynamic impacts of climate change across the world where the participants came from. The climate change impacts have been accelerating increasingly. The global society need to take an action to address the extreme impacts excerbating the pre-existing vulnerability of the global society.

    I have to say, i have just joined this course and i am 14 years old. And i just learnt sooo much eventhough i have just started my course. The course has been designed and made me realise how detailed the world can be. I have a strong desire to contribute to the SDGs by working with people at the local level.

    Because the GCED was so beneficial, I think I should learn more about world issues. The course has been thoughtfully designed so that even individuals with limited English proficiency can understand it. I have a strong desire to contribute to the SDGs by working with people at the local level.
