I am glad that through your foundations, you are able to uphold this commitment.”

The UNESCO Clearinghouse on GCED responds to the demands from UNESCO’s Member States for good quality and evidence-based information and resources on GCED under one umbrella. It is expected to facilitate information sharing and enhance knowledge and understanding of GCED.

Policy-makers, planners, curriculum developers, researchers, practitioners, educators, parents and learners as well as the general public can access resources on GCED from all over the world, of various nature and in any language available.

The Clearinghouse includes written documents and audio-visual material including policy, pedagogy, academic papers, teaching and learning material and other relevant resources on GCED.

The search function is available in English, French, Spanish, Korean, Arabic, Russian and Chinese.
