ABOUT US
MISSION
Promote four main categories of UNESCO Clubs in Latin America and the Caribbean:
• Clubs established in schools (whose members are students and teaching staff of educational institutions).
• Clubs to operate in universities and higher education institutions.
• Clubs not intended exclusively for schoolchildren or university students: they have a recognized legal status and among their members there are outstanding personalities from cultural circles or the public sector of the community.
V International Forum on Education on the way to Sustainable Development
Objective: To carry out a diagnosis, reflect and propose the redesign of strategies to define Education and its articulation with the Sustainable Development Goals to achieve: peace, justice, human rights, world citizenship, and stop climate change.
The V International Forum reflects on the following priorities:
Restructure the link between education and the elements of the social environment, to influence a transformation of society as a whole. That is, to achieve that education transforms the development model to change the order of things and configure another life and another society.
Build a pedagogical proposal based on formal, informal, and non-formal education; the dimensions of social-emotional and behavioral learning, consider the place of residence as a space for learning, as well as innovate a pedagogical model in the current situation of school closures.
UNESCO declares environmental education must be a core curriculum component by 2025
