6th European Meeting of UNESCO Associated Schools

23 National Coordinators of UNESCO Associated Schools (ASPnet) of Europe met in Beit Berl, Israel, from 21-25 June 2009, to discuss the achievements and future orientations of the ASP network.

The participants worked on the main study themes of ASPnet – education for sustainable development (including climate change education), human rights education, intercultural learning and world heritage education – and discussed strategies to further improve the quality of education through ASPnet.

Participants stressed the importance of international cooperation within the network, the role of teachers to put UNESCO’s values into practice as well as strategies to enhance the multiplier effect of ASPnet’s good practices.

The meeting took place upon invitation of the Israel National Commission for UNESCO, and its main objective was the development of a new ASPnet Strategy and Plan of Action for the coming years.
