Centre de Ressources pour les Enseignants

This publication has been designed both for new and experienced teachers, as well as other professionals working in non-formal education settings that engage with upper primary and secondary students.  

Purpose: 

1.By using principles of GCED, digital citizenship, and media and information literacy, the guidelines aim to build the capacities of teachers to prepare learners to understand the implications of global and digital transformations on education, and to build opportunities to practice ethical and responsible behaviours in physical and digital environments. They provide guidance on tapping into the positive potential of the digital transformation, including through new access to information, possibilities of connection, and the creation of tailored content.  

2. Build learners’ capacities to think critically about the influences and content that they encounter and engage in creating in physical and digital spaces. 

3. Shape learners’ understanding of global challenges and how they can contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through globally oriented digital citizenship.

This guide is designed to build the capacity of teachers so that they are informed and empowered in why and how to educate for peace-building. It offers an analysis of conflict, examines the role of ethics, expands on the elements of transformative pedagogy and provides practical tools to assess learners’ understanding of peacebuilding concepts and skills. It concludes with 20 engaging activities to support experiential learning.

The guide was developed as part of the "Teacher Training and Development for Peace-building in the Horn of Africa and Surrounding Countries project", which has as a long-term goal to develop a critical mass of teachers able to implement effective teaching and learning essential for preparing peace-loving and productive youth in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan and Uganda.
