As we commemorate the International Day of Education on 24 January, the theme 'Learning for Lasting Peace' holds even greater significance today. It signifies a critical introspection regarding the potential reformation of education to tackle contemporary global challenges. The objectives set by UNESCO for this year resonate strongly with the need for educational transformation worldwide, a sentiment I share in my observations.🌍✨. 🕊️ Promoting Peace through Education Education has the remarkable ability to break down biases and construct connections in divided societies. Human rights, sustainable development, and peace should take center stage in our educational institutions. They are more than simply topics for the classroom; they are guiding concepts that should permeate all aspects of our educational institutions. 📚 Education at a Crossroads Over 260 million children and young people worldwide still need to be in school. Given the circumstances, it is important to reevaluate our educational approach to engage the younger generation effectively and foster a deep understanding of peace and human rights. 👥 Challenging Hate, Building Tolerance The importance of providing educators and learners with the necessary tools to combat hate speech and intolerance is highlighted in recent publications by UNESCO, such as 'Addressing Hate Speech through Education.' As someone who strongly supports inclusive education, I believe these resources are integral to guiding policy-makers and educators. 🧑🏫 The Role of Educators and Communities The transformation of education into a force for peace begins in our classrooms and extends into our communities. Teachers are not just conveyors of knowledge but architects of a more tolerant and peaceful society. We must support them with resources, training, and the freedom to inspire change. Now...What is your voice in shaping tomorrow? 🌱How do you envision the role of education in fostering a more peaceful world?

🔗 https://lnkd.in/edCEZBZS 📰 The potential of place-based learning in terms of decolonization of education 👤 Viktoria Perevozniuk (Kremenchuk Mykhailo Ostrohradskyi National University) Abstract The challenges facing Ukraine as a result of the Russian-Ukrainian war necessitate significant changes in approaches to education, particularly in terms of decolonization and the affirmation of Ukrainian identity. In this context, it is useful to take into account the pedagogical experience of developed countries that have faced similar problems in the past. First of all, we are talking about the use of educational practices of the pedagogical approach of Place-based Education, a trend that emerged in the late twentieth century, the fundamental principles of which are immersion of learning in the local context, establishing strong ties between the school and the territorial community, increased attention to national-patriotic and civic education, and priority didactic technologies - integrated and project-based learning. The purpose of the study is to reveal the potential of locally oriented learning in terms of decolonization of education and involves solving such tasks as analyzing foreign educational practices of locally oriented education that contribute to decolonization, identifying problems in the formation of the national identity of Ukrainian students, and formulating proposals for ways to overcome the identified problems. Methodology includes a set of theoretical methods to understand the world experience of locally oriented education, to analyze the prospects for the introduction of it in Ukrainian school education. The positive consequences of the introduction of locally oriented education are identified, namely: intensification of interaction between school, community and society, fostering affection for the native land, love for language and culture, and acquisition of historical knowledge. It is proved that locally oriented education contributes to the formation of national identity and citizenship of young people. Prospects for further research are seen in the study of the directions of implementation of locally oriented education   #decolonization #locally_oriented_education #national_identity #civic_education #secondary_education #ScienceRise_Pedagogical_Education #technologycenter
