APCEIU

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.

The education that the world needs is a rather transformative than the typical run in the mill in classroom education. It is education that goes beyond the classroom and delves into socio economic as we become more aware of the complexities of twenty-first century society. It goes beyond cognitive and academic knowledge. The education we need therefore embraces equal human and social rights as well as international social solidarity in the respect values such as culture and diversity. Henceforth knowledge production has moved to no longer be the privy of a certain few institutions or bodies but is rather accessible to all.

The education we need identifies that the worlds issues are interconnected, develops knowledge and skills in the twenty first century, based on answering modern-day challenges with modern day solutions..

lets reflect on the question that was asked, for you what kinds of education needed now? as to me both formal and informal education is needed, but both must bring an impact on community problems. Mean that after we get knowledge, we must apply to the community and solve at least one community problem.
