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

  • JERICHO MALQUITAR
    These videos gave me new learnings that would surely allow me to be an effective practitioner in both academic and non-academic use of GCED.
  • Nguyen Thi Ngoc Anh
    I've been studying global citizenship and global competence. The video explains what are global issues, such as overcoming poverty, demanding equity, and protecting the environment, in a clear and concise manner. As global citizens, we must recognize our place in the global family. Others are affected by our decisions and behaviors as well. It is each of our responsibilities to ensure that the world is just, peaceful, and sustainable, not just for ourselves but also for future generations.
