This publication has been developed under the supervision of Soo-Hyang Choi, Director of the Division for Inclusion, Peace and Sustainable Development, and Alexander Leicht, Chief of the Section of Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship, Education Sector, at UNESCO Headquarters.
