Hello everybody!

The web-site of the European Days on Environmental Education is now on-line and active!

www.europe.environmental-education.org/index.html

You will find on the web-site the initial program as well as the registration form, documents related to the event and information regarding accommodation.

The international organizing committee of the European Days has been defining different subject suggestions for the workshops, based on three major matters:

Göteborg’s themes: the subjects that will be proposed in the 8th edition of the World Environmental Education Congress WEEC 2015 (http://weec2015.org ) have been integrated with the international commitee’s proposals.

Building a Network: The need to build not only a European network but also a worldwide network led us to propose this workshop in order to discuss a Political Document on EESD in Europe and to continue creating a European area for consultation on environmental education.

European programs: introduce and discuss different European and worldwide programs with the participation of experts such as European functionaries in order to give the participants the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of a specific program and begin to identify partners and themes for European projects.

But this is not all: we also want your point of view. Therefore, in the registration form you will be able to give us your opinion and suggest us new themes for the workshops, as well as propositions for the development of the program and ideas for the event.

We thank you for your collaboration!

Kind regards

Bonjour à tous/toutes,

Le site des Journées Européennes pour l’Education à l’Enviornnement est maintenant en ligne et active!

www.europe.environmental-education.org/index.html

Sur le site vous trouverez le programme initial ainsi que le formulaire d’inscription, les documents sur l’evenment et informations sur l’accomodation.

Le comité d’organisation internationale de ces Journées Européennes a identifiés diffèrent propositions de sujets pour les ateliers, en se basant sur trois questions principales:

Les thèmes de Göteborg: les thèmes qui seront proposés pendant la 8ème édition du Congrès mondial d’éducation environnementale WEEC 2015 (http://weec2015.org ) ont été intégrés aux propositions du Comité international.

 Construction du réseau: la nécessité de construire non seulement un réseau européen, mais également un réseau mondial nous a conduit à proposer cet atelier afin de discuter sur un Document Politique sur l’EE en Europe et de continuer à créer un espace européen de concertation sur l’éducation environnementale.

Programmes européens: présenter et discuter différents programmes Européens (et mondiales) avec la participation d’experts comme fonctionnaires européens, afin de donner aux participants l’occasion d’approfondir leur connaissance sur un programme spécifique et de commencer à identifier des partenaires et des thèmes pour de projets européens qui seront présentées.

Mais nous voulons aussi votre point de vue. A cet égard, vous pourriez, à travers le formulaire d’inscription, nous donner  vos suggestions sur les thèmes pour les ateliers, vos propositions pour le développement du programme et des idées pour l’événement.

 Nous vous remercions pour votre collaboration et votre patience.

 Bien Cordialement

Hola a todos/todas!

La página web de las Jornadas Europeas para la Educación Ambiental esta ahora en línea y activa!

www.europe.environmental-education.org/index.html

Encontrarán en el sitio web el programa inicial, como también el formulario de inscripción, los documentos relacionados con el evento y la información sobre el alojamiento.

El comité organizador internacional de las Jornadas Europeas ha estado delineando diferentes sugerencias para las temáticas de los talleres, basándose sobre tres cuestiones principales:

Temas de Gotemburgo: los temas que se propondrán en la octava edición del Congreso Mundial de Educación Ambiental WEEC 2015 (http://weec2015.org ) se han integrado con las propuestas del comité.

La constitución de una red: La necesidad de construir no sólo una red europea, sino también una red mundial nos llevó a sugerir este taller con el fin de discutir sobre un documento de política sobre el ambiente y desarrollo sustentable en Europa y continuar con la creación de un espacio europeo de concertación sobre la educación ambiental.

Programas europeos: introducir y discutir diferentes programas europeos (y mundiales) con la participación de expertos tales como funcionarios europeos, con el fin de dar a los participantes la oportunidad de profundizar  el conocimiento de un programa específico y comenzar a identificar socios y temas para proyectos europeos o mundiales.

Pero queremos también vuestro punto de vista. Por lo tanto, en el formulario de inscripción podrán darnos vuestra opinión sugerencias sobre nuevos temas para los talleres, como también propuestas para el desarrollo del programa y ideas para el evento.

Agradecemos vuestra colaboración y vuestra paciencia

Dear Members of the UNEVOC Community,

I would like to extend an invitation for you all to participate in the
Education that Pays for Itself 2014 Conference in Uganda. From the 30th
October – 1st November 2014, Education That Pays For Itself 2014 will bring
together some of the world’s leading practitioners in financially
sustainable education in a unique forum for learning, networking,
inspiration and action.

We will welcome more than 200 delegates for 3 days of lively workshops,
debates and presentations. Our participants include educators,
policymakers, business people, philanthropists, social entrepreneurs and
NGOs from around the world, all sharing their ideas and knowledge on
transforming young people from job seekers to job creators through
educational and profitable school businesses.

Realizing a Shared Vision…
Imagine… a school for children from the poorest of families – but where
all graduates leave with the skills and experience needed to generate
wealth for themselves and their communities
Imagine… a school in a developing country which is able to support itself
without relying on subsidies – and yet is able to afford the best
facilities and the best teachers.
These schools exist, the change is happening, this is your chance to be
part of it!

UN Secretary-​General, Global Leaders Urge Action on Education – Sustainabl​e Developmen​t Policy & Practice

UN Secretary-General, Global Leaders Urge Action on Education

un-worldbank
10 April 2014: UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and other global leaders launched the Emergency Coalition for Global Education Access, which aims to get 57 million children in school, and calls for “four zeros”: zero exclusion from education; zero discrimination against girls; zero child labor; and zero child marriage. The Coalition was established in response to reports that the world is off track in achieving the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) of getting all children into education by 2015.
At the current pace, it will be 2086 before all children are in school, according to the UN. Describing current progress as “unacceptable from a moral, economic and global security perspective,” UN Special Envoy for Global Education Gordon Brown said education must be put “on the international agenda in a way that cannot be ignored.” Ban added that too many children are kept out of school because of conflict, displacement, sexual and gender-based violence, and child marriage and labor.
The launch took place on the sidelines of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) Spring Meetings in Washington, DC, US, along with several other education-focused events.
The World Bank’s ‘Learning for All Symposium’ highlighted the role of children’s education in ending extreme poverty and building shared prosperity. Ban said “there is no greater return than investing in education,” and called on political leaders, national governments and donors to reverse trends of declining spending on education.
He recommended integrating “quality, inclusive and equitable education and lifelong learning in the post-2015 sustainable development agenda.”
The 2015 Countdown Summit was organized in collaboration with ‘A World at School’ campaign, which announced a network of 500 youth ambassadors from 80 countries who will join the UN Youth Advocacy Group for the UN Global Education First Initiative to promote learning for all. The youth ambassadors are expected to highlight the need for urgent education action at a June takeover of the African Union (AU) on the Day of the African Child.

Subject: RE: UNESCO Entrepreneurship Education Network is Live
Good Day, Every One!
Quite coincidentally, I just yesterday completed a paper which is very closely related to this topic.
I found the following comments especially striking:
Learning to learn is a transversal competence that is not usually explicitly assessed. Consequently, there are no computer-based assessment tools being developed or used to measure this competence. … As with “Learning to Learn” evidence on how to foster and assess a sense of initiative and entrepreneurship is scarce.
Being a transversal skill, there is a lack of evidence and insight on how this key competence is, can and should be integrated in curricula and taught in schools.
The situation is not much better in cases where “enterprise education” has been introduced in schools as a dedicated subject as there is a concern that the “delivery” of enterprise education takes place in ways which are not “enterprising” forms of learning, and that changes to definitions, frameworks and pedagogy are needed to clarify its future educational role (Draycott & Rae, 2011) (European Commission, 2013).
For those interested in this topic, I recommend especially the following resources:

(2012, June 2)  In praise of misfits.  The Economist.  Retrieved from http://www.economist.com
The Autodidact Project, by Ralph Dumain In terms of my personal interests, this is the single most interesting resource on this subject (Autodidactism)  that I have found.  I could get lost in there, and quite happily so. http://www.autodidactproject.org/
If you have links to other resources relating to this topic, please do share them with me.
My present conclusion is: In response to evident shifts in the self-propelled activities of Learners, it now seems reasonable as a matter of public policy to devote more funding to universal internet access on a 24/7 basis, and less funding to educational institutions with limited hours of service operation and limited geographical service areas.  In short, a policy of “Learning Tools Before Schools” is here recommended as the 21st Century unfolds.
Thanks very much to those behind the eenet for their efforts with this.
Yours,

Governance of TVET

 Subject: RE: Governance of TVET

 Dear Hasan,

 You raise an extremely important question as each of the stated stakeholder
hold their own views on where skills shortages are and the importance and
gravity of addressing such shortages.

I believe that the best (and only realistic) method of managing a holistic
governance solution is the implementation of a centralised TVET management
information software solution that is accessible to the major stakeholders.
If this solution is properly maintained and kept up to date, the reporting
functionality of the software would be capable of interrogating the data
and providing accurate and unbiased statistics for the relevant
stakeholders.  This reporting function should thus guide these major
role-players on what course of action to follow and therefore empower them
to issue directives to the remaining stakeholders in the context of what
training should be offered to address the shortages.

The software solution must be capable of assisting the decision-makers to,
not only identify the skills shortages, but also assess whether there is
sufficient capacity within the country to perform the necessary training
and, if not, enable them to plan for the future (i.e. train-the-trainer
programs).

Not only does our software solution address these issues, but it also
enables the major stakeholders to analyse any potential, future skills
shortages that could occur whether these may be due to the lack of
succession planning or age-related retirements from the affected skills.

Regards,

Keith Keys

 Subject: Re: Governance of TVE

FRENCH ORIGINAL

Je suis tout à fait d’accord avec vous cher Salah. En fait la question de
développement des ressources humaines occupe une place stratégique au
niveau de l’état et traverse même la portée nationale. D ‘après un
ensemble de lectures et d’études, il semble que la gouvernance du TVET est
la résultante des conflits des sous-systèmes de l’éducation , de
l’enseignement supérieur et de la formation professionnelle. Ces conflits
sont notamment d’origine épistémologique et traduit aussi l’organisation
sociale de chaque pays en la matière.
Cordialement

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

I totally agree with you, dear Salah. The Development of Human Resources
issue holds a key position at the State level and goes through the national
dimension.  According to a set of studies and lectures, it seems TVET
Governance is the outcome of the clash between the sub-systems of
education, vocational training and higher education. These conflicts have
epistemological roots and reveal the social organization of each country in
this domain.

Truly yours

Subject: RE: Governance of TVET

Dear all,

You may want to have a look at the current TVET reform support programme
implemented by GIZ in Pakistan as well as the role of NAVTTC in this
process – a national body. The set up is not perfect but would make an
interesting case study for your reflections – UNEVOC website has a good
overview of the structure in Pakistan and the role of different bodies. I
believe in Thailand there are currently similar nationalization processes.

www.tvetreform.org.pk/
www.navttc.org/

With strong provincial level structures the federal nature of these
processes does deserve specific attention, specifically in the area of
curriculum and learning material development. So NAVTTC and TEVTA
structures in Pakistan may be an interesting case study to look at both
centralized and federal dynamics

Best,

Subject: RE: Governance of TVET

Dear All, 

All those countries who are joining in now on VET have the same problem. In
India each Ministry (21 in all) was handling VET. The last outgoing
government did bring these under one umbrella.

The same has been reinforced by the New Government recently form after
Elections with a huge mandate.

A brief Clip of recent announcement is as under:

NEW DELHI: Little-known Sarbananda Sonowal, a 51-year-old minister from
Assam, could soon preside over a Rs 25,000 crore-plus kitty and oversee a
task dear to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s heart — skilling India’s
teeming workforce.

This is because the Modi government’s first Budget is expected to transfer
most, if not all the skill development and training initiatives under at
least 21 different ministries, to the newly created ministry for skill
development and entrepreneurship headed by Sonowal.
PM Gives Top Priority to Skills

During the meetings with various ministries, Seth discussed the shifting of
their training divisions and attached offices dealing with skills to the
new ministry, along with their budget allocations. “Though all these
ministries have resisted the move and justified their own performance, it
makes no sense having so many multiple agencies working incoherently in
silos and delivering little, especially after the government has created a
skill development ministry to give the issue the harmonised and effective
thrust it needs,” said a senior government official aware of the
development.

For Full details Please see
http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2014-07-05/news/51092099_1_prime-minister-narendra-modi-ministry-workforce

Hope the same will provide some consolation to those who are facing similar
slowness.

Subject: RE: Course content for alt. energy vehicles: links requested
Hi Stephan,
I thought I had replied to this earlier but if not, here is my recommendation.  While there are a lot of analyses and instructional materials available on standard automobiles and trucks, analyses on alternative energy vehicles may not exist.  I highly recommend you consider convene a conceptual DACUM panel.  We have used the conceptual type DACUM analyses very successfully over 50 times.
There are two major differences between the conceptual DACUM and the usual job or occupational analyses DACUMs. You still need a well trained and certified facilitator but the panel is made up of persons who have the most knowledge or experience with the new position.  You may not have any real expert workers but you  should select engineers, early adopters, or others (mangers, planners) who have been concerned about and thinking about the new position.
Secondly, instead of asking what you “do”, the facilitator should ask what “should” be done or what “needs” to be done to accomplish the work successfully.  Two days should be allotted and you should consider revisiting the analysis within in a year or two after some workers have been actually performing the job. This type of DACUM works really well given a good facilitator and well-selected panel.

[GeoTeam] Important Online consultati​on on the revision of UNESCO Recommenda​tion on the Developmen​t Adult Education (1976)

Subject: [GeoTeam] Important Online consultation on the revision of UNESCO Recommendation on the Development Adult Education (1976) To: geoteam@listsrv.chasque.net

 

     French version available here, Spanish version here

Online consultation concerning the revision of the UNESCO Recommendation on the Development of Adult Education (1976)

Background

UNESCO will revise the 1976 Recommendation on the Development of Adult Education, as recommended by the Belém Framework for Action. UNESCO’s General Conference agreed in 2013 to prepare this revision “in consultation with the Member States and other stakeholders through various cost-effective measures”.

Adopted in 1976 by the General Conference of UNESCO, the 1976 Recommendationrepresents the only international normative framework that provides guiding principles for adult education policy and practice in UNESCO Member States. An update has been proposed at the last two International Conferences on Adult Education (CONFINTEA V, 1997 and CONFINTEA VI, 2009). UNESCO Recommendations are not binding and do not stipulate specific rights or duties. Rather, they define principles and norms for the international regulation of specific issues and invite Member States to take appropriate legislative steps “in conformity with … constitutional practice”. Consequently, the impact of a Recommendation depends entirely on the extent of its implementation by Member States.

Context

The revision of this Recommendation is part of the ongoing debate on the international development agenda beyond 2015. UNESCO’s position paper for education beyond 2015 recommends a lifelong learning approach to empower people to realize their rights to education, fulfil their personal expectations for life and work, and contribute to the achievement of their societies’ objectives. The draft Muscat Agreement that emerged from the Global Education For All Meeting in Oman in May 2014, consequently refers to specific targets on youth and adult literacy, on skills for work and life, and for citizenship and sustainable development.

A preliminary draft of the revised Recommendation has been prepared with the help of experts from governmental, intergovernmental, non-governmental, academic and private organizations. The draft revised Recommendation on Technical and Vocational Education is not yet available.

Objective

Through this e-mail-based exchange process, the preliminary draft will be further enriched by incorporating insights and comments from a broad international audience. The UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) is looking forward to receiving contributions from policy-makers, researchers, practitioners, teachers and learners. UIL also strongly encourages the sharing of this message with all networks interested in contributing to this process.

Subject: Re: Demand-driven TVET SystemDear all,Colleges and Institutes Canada, formerly the Association of Canadian
Community Colleges (ACCC), has developed a successful program that aims to
tackle precisely this issue.  Education for Employment (EFE) builds on the
strengths of the Canadian college approach, working with partner countries
to transform their education systems to be more responsive, applied, and
demand-driven, in order to equip learners with the skills required for
today’s employment reality.In Canada, colleges, institutes and polytechnics are the employment
market’s trainers of choice, integrally aligned with the needs of employers
and operating on the leading edge of skills identification, economic trends
and market shifts. Colleges/institutes/polytechnics solicit business and
industry input into curriculum development through program advisory
committees and thus excel at providing accessible, cost-effective
post-secondary education and lifelong learning opportunities for people of
all ages.ACCC leverages this model and uses a collaborative approach to design and
implement EFE programs with partner countries. Key stakeholders from
ministries and authorities responsible for technical and vocational
education, training providers, funding agencies, the private sector and
employer associations are involved in designing EFE initiatives that
strengthen the delivery of skills development programs to better meet
employment market needs.EFE is an integrated approach to sustainable development cooperation at all
levels:
• ministerial level by supporting policy reforms to better align training
with employment realities;
• institutional level by building the capacity of institutions to design
and deliver demand-driven competency-based training programs, and by
supporting the development of entrepreneurial services and management
within training institutions;
• regional or international level by creating networks for more effective
sharing of knowledge, experience, best practices and innovations.Please see the History of the EFE program for lessons learned and examples
of how ACCC, with its network of 130 Canadian colleges and institutes, has
created programs matching skills training to local demand:

Subject: Re: TVET Quality Key Performance Indicators KPIsDear Members,Quality is relative and context specific and evolve over time. I think many
quality experts agree on that.Measuring TVET quality can both qualitative and quantitative. One can
design a rubric for measurement through indicator that will derive and
describe the achievement level according to a particular set of criteria
suitable for a given TVET context. It can go through the process of
validation, pilot testing,changes according to learning and then
generalized adoption. Our Colleague Moustafa Wahba has given a good detail
of similar indicators for measuring quality in TVET. However, there are
packages to which TVET Institutions can subscribe for measuring  quality of
their institutions:- ISO-QMS and versions that are particularly dealing with education
– Quality Award criteria for Educational Excellence(MBNQA, SQA, PQA etc)
– Fitting TVET programs to specific Qualifications Framework
– TVET Accreditation system( Program focused, Institution focused)Now gradually many TVET systems of  different countries have developed
their own accreditation system for quality assurance  and Institutions
ranking is done accordingly. I just would like to introduce all members
with  Asia Pacific Accreditation and Certification Commission( APACC),
based in Manila Philippines. It  has now been  subscribed by TVET system in
Philippines, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Mongolia since its launch
in 2008. There are interests shown by  TVET institutions of other countries
as well. According to the range of earned points Institutions are awarded
Gold,  Silver and Bronze accreditation with varying validity period.Just to share with everybody that the  system for accreditation has been
developed in consensus with TVET professional from across the 17 member
countries of CPSC.  for further information please access APACC through:

TVET Quality Key Performanc​e Indicators KPIs

Subject: TVET Quality Key Performance Indicators KPIsOur colleague Dr. Syed Iqbal Ahmad,Ph.D requested group members to comment
on the TVET quality indicator unpacked listed in
http://www.unevoc.unesco.org/e-forum/EU-TVETmonitoring-Indicator-Quality-unpacked.pdfBy reviewing the above document, I noticed that the document has defined
the Training Quality as the precision of training accrues from accuracy,
brevity and clarity of information and which can be measured, calculated
and monitored.I am defining the TVET Quality Key Performance Indicators KPIs as the signs
that are evidence of the presence or absence of particular qualities. They
provide information to policy-makers to assist in policy formulation, and
they demonstrate accountability. While they may be qualitative or
quantitative in form, it is the latter which are more generally applied in
the reporting of system outcomes and outputs.Quality indicators are defined as the Key Performance Indicators KPIs that
refer to a quality characteristic or objective and which would indirectly
refer to the broad context of performance evaluation in which they operate.
A quality indicator is a figure, which is helpful for the assessment of a
quality characteristic or the achievement of quality objectives.Quality Indicators provide information about the state of particular
systems. They are usually recorded numerically (that is, they are
quantitative, not qualitative) and this is a point of dispute for those who
claim that the complexities of such things as quality are not easily or
meaningfully reduced to that which may be counted. It must be remembered
that indicators are just that—they are indicative of a certain state, not
descriptive of the entirety. Indicators are typically used as yardsticks in
such comparisons as a series of values over time; for example, ‘Course
completion rates in this TVET Centre increased from 83% in 2007 to 95% in
2008’.The development of quality indicators for TVET Systems at the international
level remains limited owing to the difficulty of arriving at consensus
about aspects of quality and the expense and amount of resources required
to collect and process the necessary data.TVET Institutions are commonly required to demonstrate that they have set
up quality management systems, quality assurance systems and continuous
improvement mechanisms.Most of the countries employ a diverse range of quality indicators to
monitor quality within their TVET Systems. The most important reference set
of quality indicators, in my moderate point of view are the following 7
indicators measuring the quality of the TVET delivered:
Indicator No.1: Fitness to Purpose of TVET System
Indicator No.2: Cost effectiveness of TVET
Indicator No.3: TVET Courses (Curriculum) and Programmes
Indicator No.4: Infrastructure and Training Equipment
Indicator No.5: Training Plans
Indicator No.6: Relevance and credibility of TVET Assessment Processes
Indicator No.7: Quality and Competence of TVET Institution’s Instructors
/ Trainers / TeachersI will explain each of the above indicators in other forthcoming threads.Eng. Moustafa Wahba

Establishi​ng a national research center

From: Damian Boyle [mailto:Damian_Boyle@cameco.com]
Sent: 2014-05-28 16:39
Subject: RE: Establishing a national research centerGood Day, Morgan Lewis, and All!Below is an example to an approach to stimulating efforts in a given
direction that I believe is worth supporting as a matter of Policy:A Longitude Prize for the Twenty-First Century
– It is 300 years since the British government pioneered a new approach to
problem-solving. The Longitude Act of 1714 offered a prize of £20,000
(worth more than £1 million today) to anyone who could devise an accurate
method to determine a ship’s position at sea.
– John Harrison, a working-class joiner and clockmaker with little formal
education, came closest to receiving the reward money through his
extraordinary mechanical talent and determination….
– Britain is reconvening the historic Longitude Committee, this time with a
promised reward of £10 million (US$17 million).
-…the public will be able to vote on the theme of the prize from a
shortlist of six broad topics, each important to human welfare and each
offering scope for creativity: dementia; access to safe, clean water;
treating paralysis; antibiotic resistance; food and nutrition; and flight.

UN CC: Learn Programme Leverages USD 1 Million in National Funds for Climate Change Teacher Training

Dear Climate Readers,
We would like to share with you some good news from the Dominican Republic. The National Council on Climate Change and Clean Development Mechanism (CNCCMD) has announced that the country will invest a further 1 million USD from the national budget in climate change training for teachers in 2014-2016.
The training programme is based on a UN CC:Learn supported pilot phase during which 400 teachers were trained in 2013. An initial UN CC:Learn grant of 30,000 USD, provided by SDC, succeeded in leveraging 90,000 USD in national budgetary funds for teacher training.
The additional 1 million USD that has been announced for the expanded programme brings the total resources leveraged to 1,090,000 USD – a 36:1 ratio.
Watch a video about the teachers training: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m80JQNHeEI8

Community Learning Modules on REDD+

Community Learning Modules on REDD+

Natural Justice – lawyers for communities and the environment – has just released two complementary learning e-modules on reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+). These modules can be used as a basis for community discussions, workshops, action planning and advocacy about REDD+ and community rights.

The recently updated REDD+ Introduction module summarises the key issues and current programmes in REDD+. The accompanying REDD+ Safeguards module considers the main internationally recognised safeguards and standards, explores the implications of a range of rights and responsibilities, and what these could mean for communities. Both REDD+ modules are available in English and Spanish here.

These REDD+ e-modules are part of a series on international frameworks which can be downloaded here. These learning modules support communities developing community protocols and aim to increase the understanding of key international legal frameworks, concepts and programmes.

[wssd-educ​ationcaucu​s] Great News!  IUCN – CEC

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

If you are not familiar with the work of the IUCN – CEC, here is a copy of their most recent newsletter with interesting highlights and links.  Juliane Zeidler, CEC Chair, reports on a meeting near IUCN headquarters in Gland, Switzerland, where the new Steering Committee created an action plan.  
Discussions were held on strategic activities which will make the CEC Programme 2013-2016 come to fruition in harmonisation with the IUCN One Programme. Here we also discussed ideas about the new CEC structure – and how we as the IUCN CEC community, can pool our resources in a way that makes the CEC Programme successful over the next few years. Changes are foreseen – and will hopefully be implemented over the coming year.
All the best,

MEA negotiatio​ns: issue briefs template

 

Dear Community of Educators,

The Global Climate Change Treaty is expected to be implemented in 2020 with the “Climate Agreement” to be put into place in 2015, FIELD has suggested some interesting questions to think about that might serve as a useful template for Multi-lateral Environmental Agreements (MEA).  Through consultations with experienced negotiators within the sustainable development and climate change venues, from a civil society perspective we have learned a 1-pager, lots of “white” space, using the language of policy-makers, brief text – that can be read within a minute or so and the reader understands, takes it to their delegation to discuss in terms of timing in the negotiations process and the current language being used  –  we have enjoyed many successful interventions.
This legal template may also be useful to you in your work.

Subject: Pad Yatra: A Green Odyssey – an example of spiritual ecology in practice in the Himalayas

Dear Colleagues,

Documentary Film:

PAD YATRA: A GREEN ODYSSEY (110 minutes)

http://padyatrafilm.com/ 

SYNOPSIS

“PAD YATRA: A Green Odyssey is the adventure of 700 people trekking across the Himalayas with a call to save the planet’s “3rd Pole,” a glacial region now devastated by the climate chaos associated with global warming.

Battling the most treacherous terrain on the planet, the trekkers spread their message of ecological compassion through human’s most basic means – by walking on foot, village to village, and showing by example.

Surviving harrowing injuries, illness, and starvation, they emerge with nearly half a ton of plastic litter strapped to their backs, triggering an historic green revolution across the rooftop of the world.”

Happy Internatio​nal Day of Biological Diversity!

With a particular focus on Island Biodiversity this year, PCI Media Impact proudly celebrates this meaningful day. With five active community action campaigns in five Caribbean countries, our My Island – My Community program is addressing critical climate change and biodiversity issues while raising awareness among the community (particularly children) across the islands.

Building on this momentous day, our My Island – My Community program staff in St. Lucia is conducting several community outreach activities, including mascot school visits, to promote key environmental messages and to discuss the importance of biodiversity conservation. Moreover, primary school students are tree planting along the Canaries River and are participating in a poster competition through which prizes will be awarded in a ceremony held at the Soufriere Waterfront.

Our very own Jessica Robbins, PCI Media Impact’s Islands Communications Officer, in partnership with the Global Island Partnership (GLISPA) has published a new report which focuses on islands solutions in conservation and sustainability globally. Check out this new publication here, fresh off the press! To learn more about these exciting programs, click here. To view photos of the event click here. Thank you for your ongoing support!

Subject: Re: Higher Education in TVET in Bangladesh

To those who have commented on Higher Education in TVET in Bangladesh I wonder are there any thoughts on the

implications and value of  the Open Access initiative in Bangladesh to bring student textbooks on line (and basically free
to download) – Textbooks for the Academic Year 2013 ( http://www.nctb.gov.bd/downloadpage22.php )?
I would think any effort to broaden the understanding of mathematics (and other subject areas) will create and improve
possibilities.

professionalism and quality development
Good Day, JM Duurwaarder!
I very much agree with your thoughts about SHOULDs, and who is recommending these. This is indeed a hairy problem. I do not have a recipe for success with this, but will share a few thoughts about it.
The problem is, as I see it, a general lack of agreement on what MUST be done.  Governments can and do prescribe certain behaviours for all manner of occupations, but these tend to be frameworks of minimum requirements only.  In far fewer cases are Codes of Practice (Best Practices) established, which may be used as reference standards by Courts in rulings on harms done, but are not in fact prescriptive.  A Code of Practice is a recommendation, it is not mandatory.
My observations over time have been that many of those in positions of authority and leadership lack the knowledge, skills, attitude and experience to positively foster the development  of Trainers, Instructors, Coaches, and Teachers.
 What is not positive, is negative — and retarding.  I have seen this in both Union and Non-Union environments.  In the former, Union Seniority trumps all;  in the latter, personal politics trumps all. This has applied in the Private Sector, Government, and NGO’s.
“I have found some of the best reasons I ever had for remaining at the bottom simply by looking at the men at the top.”
— Frank Moore Colby
I have been disabused of the notion that all Teachers/Trainers/Instructors/Coaches share freely what they know for the betterment of society.  I have come to the conclusion that it is up to me to be independent and to find my own path to learning about how to learn and how to help others learn.  I seek out others of like mind, and share freely to signal my interests.
My situation is atypical, and I hardly know how to best explain it. In many respects I have come to understand my relationship with my Community as that of a Wise and Knowledgeable Elder, providing Guidance to Seekers. This fits with the local historical cultural practices, and after eight years I believe I am now resonating sympathetically with the beat of those drums. On the other hand, I see my role vis-à-vis the Corporate and Government mission and vision statements as being the model of best practices with regards to these.
My Community does not exist in the conventional sense. It is in a sense a virtual community of adults who have come to work at Mine Site on a rotational basis (fly-in, fly-out), living in a Camp. There are no children here, or un-employed adults. I am the only Public Servant working here on a regular basis. There are about 420 on Site today.  Most of these people have counterparts, so over the course of a month there would be about 800 that I would be available to. Given seasonal workforce increases, based on projects, about 1200 were at Site in the past twelve months.
In some respect I believe that I have been granted freedom from certain constraints and conventions because of an awareness that what I contribute is valuable, but in sometimes unpredictable ways. This is similar to working as an Artist in Residence, or an Innovation Researcher, or a Minister, or a Cowboy, or all of these at once. I am a Workplace Educator and a Learning Facilitator. I cannot better define it.
I will forward to you a some examples of my communiqués with the Site, going to about 400 email accounts, which I hope will provide you with some insights about my practice. What I do is what I recommend that others do as a starting point, if they know no better. I am the living example, and the best Workplace Educator that my Community has. I am the research made flesh.
I have posted Learning Resources that I share in my practice on EduNorth. These are first distributed in the emails that I mentioned. I post only text and links online to minimize the loading time for those with limited internet access and to minimize their costs. http://edunorth.wordpress.com/about/
I have appreciated your contributions to the eforum over time. Thank you for these. I do appreciate them. I trust this finds you well and enjoying your day.

Malaysia success: Human Resource Developmen​t Centres

Hi David,I agree with you that adaptation of this model used by  Malaysia would
promise success in other countries. Involving  stakeholders (e.g. the
industry) is really  very important to TVET’s success .According to the research on
“Program fidelity and adaptation: Meeting local needs without compromising program effectiveness”,
“fidelity to the original program design was generally important to program
effectiveness, but less so when there was a cultural mismatch”.Let me share with you this unsolicited document for the benefits of those
who have not read about program adaptation yet, this is for your
information. I am attaching the document

Call for nomination​s: Wenhui Award for Educationa​l Innovation 2014

From: APEID Unit – Bangkok Sent: 2014-03-14 11:08 Subject: Call for nominations: Wenhui Award for Educational Innovation 2014
Wenhui (文 晖) Award for Educational Innovation 2014 Innovation in Lifelong Learning: Bridging to the Future
Call for nominations
No one doubts the power of education. Educate mothers, and you empower women and save children’s lives. Educate communities, and you transform societies and grow economies, noted Ms. Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO.
Also, no one will dispute that learning is a lifelong process. Preparing children and young people for life in the 21st century does not stop just because they reach a certain age or are “done” with school. Young and old alike need to learn and adapt when confronted by increasing globalization, changing socio-economic trends and demands, transnational political and environmental realities, and new technologies at any age.
Accordingly, UNESCO’s vision of education underlines a broad perspective to support flexible lifelong and life-wide learning opportunities through multiple pathways, and harnessing the potential of information and communication technology (ICT) to create a new culture of learning as and when appropriate.
The Wenhui (文 晖) Award for Educational Innovation, established by the National Commission of the People’s Republic of China for UNESCO, and coordinated by the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Programme of Educational Innovation for
Development (APEID), aims to recognize the contributions of educators and institutions which have optimized the potential of education and the human innovative spirit to address and resolve pressing issues and problems facing our world today.
For 2014, the theme of the Wenhui Award is Innovation in Lifelong Learning: Bridging to the Future in line with UNESCO’s vision of education and the post-2015 education agenda to underscore the importance of learning throughout
life for human fulfilment, peace, sustainable development, economic growth, gender equality and responsible global citizenship. The Award will also recognize the potential of ICT to support lifelong learning now and in the future.
Two individuals or institutions from the Asia and Pacific region will be selected by a jury of distinguished educators.
The winners will each receive a Certificate of Excellence and prize money of US$ 20,000 at the China Hangzhou International Conference on Educational Innovations.
Certificates of Merit may also be awarded to individuals or institutions that have demonstrated commendable innovative practices.
Who is eligible for the Award?
Individuals or institutions in UNESCO Member States in Asia and the Pacific region which have designed and implemented significant educational innovations leading to improved access to, and quality in, education in relation to the theme for 2014 will be eligible for the Award.
More specifically, the Jury will be looking for educational innovations that have:
• helped to promote and enhance lifelong learning for now and in the future; • improved the quality of teaching and learning in enhancing lifelong learning;
 • fostered indigenous wisdom and ingenuity, as well 21st century knowledge and technology, in educational innovations for lifelong learning.
How to apply for the Award?
Applications can be submitted by government agencies, educational institutions, international organizations, non-governmental organizations and individuals in UNESCO Member States in the Asia and Pacific region.
All applications should reach the Award Secretariat at UNESCO Bangkok through the National Commissions for UNESCO, UNESCO
Offices and other organizations associated with UNESCO, using an official Award Application Form available online at the Award website.
More details about the Award, including the list of UNESCO offices and associated institutions, evaluation criteria,
application process and conditions of entry, are available at the Award

Good Day, Robert!
As you know, I have wanted to participate in a DACUM workshop for some time, as part of developing skills in the area of Instructional Design. Budgetary constraints have mitigated against that, especially given the associated travel costs, so I have been doing some reading in this area as my best alternative.
I have just the other day finished reading Ten Steps to Complex Learning, by Jeroen Van Merrienboer and Paul Kirschner (Second Edition, 2013, Routledge).  I found the content and layout of this book to be excellent, and recommend it highly for others like myself who do not have much experience with this.
In your own case, I reckon that you could write a book on this subject yourself.  If you do, let me know, because I would definitely want to read that one.
If my budget allows this year, I intend to begin the Master of Instructional Design and Technology program through the Open University of Malaysia, by the way.
Wishing you a very good day down there in Columbus, Ohio.  Thanks for your assistance with this topic previously.

These Syrian children are proof that we can provide education in the midst of conflict

A project in Lebanon now schooling almost 150,000 child refugees shows that education beyond borders can be a reality – so long as governments play their part

This week 148,000 Syrian child refugees in Lebanon are back in school. This is thanks to an innovative initiative that has dramatically changed the way we think of provisions for children in conflict.

Having been deprived of an education by a war entering its fourth year, 88,000 of these children are now benefiting from a unique timeshare experiment. The local Lebanese children, who study in French and English in the mornings, are sharing their schools to allow Syrian refugees to learn in their native Arabic during a second afternoon shift. Some Syrian refugees also attend the morning school and the shift system is allowing many more children to be educated.

In one pilot area in Akroum, northern Syria, a Scottish charity is providing the funds for Syrian volunteers and Lebanese teachers to work together. Over the past few weeks an idea that was once merely a concept has been debated by international organisations and turned into reality. The project has got off the ground thanks to aid given by 10 donor countries, allowing Unicef and the UN high commissioner for refugees (UNHCR) to mobilise and work in partnership with the Lebanese government.

This month in New York I was able to report to the UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, that the idea of education without borders is coming alive in one of the most dangerous areas of the world. This is thanks to the efforts of the UN voluntary organisations and aid agencies that have now pledged approximately $100m to make the initiative work.

The education of Ban Ki-moon himself is testimony to what can be achieved when international organisations are determined to provide education in the midst of conflict. The secretary general was educated under a tree during the 1950s civil war between North and South Korea. He benefited from a unique scheme under which Unesco and Unicef provided aid for the child refugees of that country’s devastating war. He told me that the books he used were received thanks to Unesco and that printed on their back cover was a message from the UN. It said: “Work hard and you will repay your debt to the United Nations.” This is something Ban Ki-moon did many times over as he rose to become the first secretary general of the United Nations who was brought up in the midst of civil war.

But 60 years on we have yet to establish the principle that even in the throes of conflict children will be provided not just with food and shelter, but with education. And we have yet to persuade aid donors that the one thing that education can provide is the vital ingredient of hope: hope that there is a future worth preparing and planning for.

Today more than 20 million of the 57 million children who are not in school are denied education because they are victims of war. And while the Red Cross long ago proved that healthcare can be provided even in the most difficult and turbulent of wars, we have not yet made sure that schooling can continue uninterrupted. As a result of our failure, children who should be at school are often involved in child labour, begging on the streets, condemned to early marriage, trafficked, or even recruited as child soldiers and trained to kill.

Now Lebanon can become the country where we achieve for education in 2014 what was achieved for health a century ago. We can give education to every one of the 435,000 child refugees and vulnerable children.

The provision of education beyond borders is not just a concept. It is coming alive in the most difficult of conflict zones, but it will take a demand from the public to persuade governments to do what is necessary to maintain support over the coming years. We must make sure the right of every child to go to school – in war as well as in peace – can become a reality

Subject: Crowdfunding sustainable learning solutions. Also in vocational training ?During the Learning Link ( http://www.itcilo.org/link )
we have addressed the economic dimension of sustainable learning, discussing the availability
of resources for development training and how non-conventional sources of
funding could be explored with the aim to increase the economic
sustainability of learning institutions and their activities. One of the
options to explore was the feasibility of crowdfunding which has been on
the rise in the last 5 years. The Centre conducted a feasibility study on
‘micro-grants’ to give participants from developing countries the
possibility to attend training or learning events in function of their
professional development with a specific focus on institutional impact. We
hope to organize in the nearby-future a knowledge sharing event on the
results of this study as the complexity of such a project cannot be
underestimated and we are keen to learn from fellow institutions who are
interested in solving similar challenges. The exploration continues. Last
week we launched a crowdfunding campaign on a specific training product
that is highly in demand.

our toolkit http://compass.itcilo.org/ were wondering if we could not
produce a mobile deck of cards which visualizes this rich set of 60
training methodologies and technologies.
The project is currently launched
at http://igg.me/at/crowdfundingcompasscards/x/6451945 and a quick
instructional video about the new project is available here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B7tS43Mvi0 .Any institutions in this UNESCO-UNEVOC network that have substantial
experience with crowdfunding initiatives? Looking forward to connect.view thread online:

GCE-NL Seminar Development for All through Education 27 februari – aanmelden nog mogelijk

Op donderdag 27 februari bespreken ontwikkelingsexperts uit verschillende sectoren de rol van onderwijs naar aanleiding van het UNESCO Global Monitoring Report 2013/2014. Dit is tevens de Nederlandse lancering van dit internationaal toonaangevende rapport.

Het rapport toont aan dat goed onderwijs voor velen nog altijd onbereikbaar is. Daarmee komt ook ontwikkeling op andere vlakken in het gedrang. Hoe kunnen we, zeker gezien de afnemende middelen en steun voor onderwijs in OS, ervoor zorgen dat deze cruciale voorwaarde tot ontwikkeling verzekerd is?

Sprekers en panelleden zijn:

  • Catherine Jere (GMR-team)
  • Oley Dibba-Wadda (Femmes Afriques Solidarités)
  • Maarten de Jongh (ING Sustainability)
  • Hedwig Bruggeman (AgriProFocus)
  • Laura Lasance (Choice for Youth and Sexuality)

De middag wordt geleid door Kirsten van den Hul.

Donderdag 27 februari 2014
13.00 – 17.00 uur
Utrecht, In de Driehoek

Aanmelden bij gce@edukans.nl.

Universal Primary Education

 

 

The second United Nations Millennium Development Goal is to achieve Universal Primary Education, more specifically, to “ensure that by 2015, children everywhere, boys and girls alike will be able to complete a full course of primary schooling.” Currently, there are more than 75 million children around the world of primary school age who are not in school. The majority of these children are in regions of sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia and within these countries, girls are at the greatest disadvantage in receiving access to education at the primary school age.
