ASPnet Newsletter - CONNECT (Issue 17)

28. julij 2021

Dear ASPnet community,
Dear National Coordinators,
Dear teachers, students and parents,

In this issue of our newsletter, we want to look back on the achievements of our journey, in the context of the challenges posed by COVID-19 as well as of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Target 4.7, and provide a particular focus on our activities for promoting transformative education.

Faced with many challenges over the past year, we shared information and solidarity through our communication channels, in particular this newsletter CONNECT, launched at the beginning of the pandemic. We appreciated your heartfelt messages and videos, artistic contributions, and active participation at numerous webinars and meetings in our priority themes and under the overall objective of reaching SDG Target 4.7.

One of the biggest achievements I would like to highlight is the recent 5-day Global Meeting for Teacher Education & Training Institutions (TEIs), which resulted in a Joint Invitation to strengthen collaboration for Global Citizenship Education for Sustainable Development in teacher education and training.

Below we give you an overview of how ASPnet has been implementing our three priority areas of Global Citizenship, Education for Sustainable Development and Intercultural Learning and the Appreciation of Cultural Diversity and Heritage through the approach of transformative education. We will give some space to arts education as an important element of this last thematic area and as a crosscutting means of our work; and we will show examples of your great contributions to the recent International Arts Education Week 2021. You will also find some news on other recent and upcoming activities, including from you and other members of the ASPnet community.

Last but not least, I would like to express my appreciation to you in a video message and present our vision on how to make best value of our network towards achieving SDG Target 4.7 through transformative education.

Stay safe. Stay CONNECTed!
