Opening AddressMr. Byung Young Ahn,Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Education and Human ResourcesDr. Samuel Lee, Dr. Yersu Kim, Members of the Diplomatic Corps, Honorable Participants, EsteemedGuests, and Ladies and Gentlemen,I am honored to have been invited to open theFourth Teacher Training Workshop forEducation and International Understandingtoward a Culture of Peace. I would like toextend my warmest congratulations to you all,and to APCEIU and Dr. Samuel Lee fororganizing this significant initiative.In Asia and the Pacific, we have a veryimportant tradition of regarding our teachers asrespected members of our communities. We all have reason to revere and admire your role as teachersand teacher educators. You play a crucial role in furthering peace as leaders who shape the minds ofthe youth. By training students to embrace values of tolerance, understanding, and peace, you helprise a generation that strives to uphold a culture of peace.As community leaders, teachers have the potential to intervene in the face of conflict, and to direct thecommunity to seek peaceful solutions. When teachers are able to recognize the true values of peace,they may be the leaders who guide the society towards peace.The training workshop is a concerted effort led by APCEIU to provide the participants with theknowledge and skills needed to further integrate themes and issues of international understanding intosubject areas and schooling practices. Living in a globalized world means extending education pasttraditional subjects to include education of international understanding, cross-cultural awareness, andhuman rights, in order to create a culture of peace that can be carried on beyond the classroom.I have learned that the APCEIU Regional Teachers’ Training Workshops have become rich and vividexperiences of cross-cultural living and learning for the participants. Past workshops have contributedimmensely to teachers in their role as educators back in their national and cultural settings, and to theirrole as teachers taking on a qualitatively different and new dimension.
4th Asia-Pacific Teachers Training Workshop 93. Congratulatory AddressDr. Yersu Kim,Secretary General of Korea National Commission for UNESCOMr. Ahn Byoung Young, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education and Human ResourcesDevelopment, Dr. Samuel Lee, Director of APCEIU, Honorable Guests, Distinguished Participantsfrom Asia-Pacific region, ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the Korean National Commission forUNESCO, it is my great pleasure to convey my sincerest congratulations to the Asia-Pacific Centre ofEducation for International Understanding, on the commencement of the 4th Teacher TrainingWorkshop on Education for International Understanding toward a Culture of Peace.Since 1953, with the implementation of the UNESCO Association Schools Project, UNESCO hascontinued to promote Education for International Understanding. The Second World War and cold war,have taught us that there is a need to understand the differences and diversity of other cultures. It isthrough this understanding, we help to ensure that such tragic events do not repeat themselves in thefuture. It is essential that this process be, first and foremost, implemented in the school system. It isthrough this philosophical background, that UNESCO has given great importance and priority to theeducation for international understanding. This has been evident by the implementation of ASP. Fromtheir inception, ASPnet and EIU have spread over all the European countries. Despite the fact that EIUhad lost much of its vitality due to the Cold War, in the post-Cold War era, EIU has experienced a sortof renaissance.Over the decades, UNESCO has continually emphasized the vital role of teachers in preparing the nextgeneration in all societies through various instruments including UNESCO’s Declaration andIntegrated Framework of Action on Education for Peace, Human Rights & Democracy in 1994. Thisdeclaration provides a beacon for the direction of EIU. Thus, it is not surprising that EIU themes suchas tolerance, peace, human rights and democracy have received much attention.Since 1961, four schools in Korea have joined UNESCO ASPnet and have been active with EIU.Various textbooks on EIU have been published and international exchanges and teacher-trainingprograms have been initiated. Through these efforts, the Korean government and UNESCOestablished APCEIU in 2000. APCEIU has instituted various activities in order to promote EIU, and tointegrate experts or teachers dispersed throughout many different areas into EIU. Although inexistence for a relatively short time, through these activities and programs, APCEIU has made asynergistic effort to promote EIU.
