UNESCO Asia-Pacific Institute of Education and Training Signs MOU with Chiang Mai University, Thailand

Global Citizenship Education Teacher Training, Textbook Development, and Network Building Collaboration

[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] The UNESCO Asia-Pacific International Understanding Education Institute announced on the 15th that it has signed a memorandum of understanding to strengthen cooperation in global citizenship education with Chiang Mai University in Thailand.

This memorandum of understanding is part of the establishment project of the Global Citizenship Education Cooperation Center, implemented by the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Education Institute starting this year, aimed at enhancing the global citizenship education capabilities of teacher education institutions in New Southern countries.

Over the next five years, the two institutions plan to expand cooperation to spread global citizenship education in Thailand, including teacher training for pre-service and in-service teachers, development of teaching materials, and network building. A global citizenship education workshop for students of the College of Education at Chiang Mai University will also be held from the 27th to the 29th.

In August, the Asia-Pacific Education Institute signed a memorandum of understanding to strengthen cooperation and establish centers for global citizenship education with Chulalongkorn University in Thailand, and in September with Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM).

The Asia-Pacific Education Institute plans to continue establishing a cooperative foundation to strengthen the global citizenship education capabilities of teacher education institutions in other New Southern countries such as the Philippines, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, and Vietnam.
