International Women's Day 2014
The Universal Peace Federation upholds the essential value and central role of women in peacebuilding and human development.
UPF affirms the need for women to serve in leadership positions throughout the world in all sectors of society.
UPF recognizes the equal value of men and women. Their absolute value derives from a common origin, God. God is the origin of both men and women, and all of God’s creation manifests complementary masculine and feminine aspects.
Men and women are extensions and manifestations of God’s harmonious masculinity and femininity. The complementary relationship between men and women expresses the wholeness of human experience. Thus, there should be no gender discrimination but rather harmony of the sexes through love.
Throughout history, women have taken the leading role in cultivating families as the dwelling places of peace, love, and health in shaping the individual character of children, and in fostering harmonious social relationships. In the family, both father and mother are equally entitled to reverence and honor. The path toward establishing global peace begins with strengthening families.
The ideal of peace is at the core of all religions. Through dialogue and mutual understanding, there can be peace among religions, and peace among religions is a necessary prerequisite for world peace. Women can and should play a central role in promoting interfaith understanding and cooperation.
UPF emphasizes the essential importance of women in addressing issues of peace and development in all sectors, including politics, business, culture, and religion. Women must be encouraged and empowered to assume leadership roles in the resolution of conflict, peacebuilding, and sustainable development.
UPF supports the achievement of the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals, which include improved status, education, health, and physical well-being of women. Six of these eight goals are related to women; therefore, by uplifting the condition of women, the Millennium Development Goals will be advanced.

These skills are especially important now as all member states face increasing social and cultural diversity.

This document discusses the role of higher education in fostering dialogue and understanding. It argues that higher education institutions have a responsibility to advise society and governments, and act as a "watch tower" to anticipate and prevent issues. The key to achieving a new beginning, as outlined in the Earth Charter, is education - specifically education that teaches students to know, do, be, live together, and dare. Higher education is needed to promote intercultural and interreligious dialogue between all people and overcome forces that prevent understanding. The document advocates for building peace through education, culture, science, and communication.
International understanding
This document discusses international understanding and the role of education in promoting it. It defines international understanding as developing insight into other cultures beyond one's own interests and seeing all people as part of a global community. Narrow nationalism can create conflicts, so education must foster world citizenship. The document outlines principles of international understanding like respect for all people and awareness of interdependence. It also discusses barriers like secrecy, inequality and prejudice. Education is seen as crucial for providing knowledge of other cultures and developing critical thinking to appreciate diversity and work towards global cooperation.

UNESCO and education systems have important roles in fostering internationalism by promoting mutual understanding and global citizenship through curriculum, exchanges, and celebrating diversity. Overall, the document advocates for reconstructing education to cultivate a view of the world as a single community.
International understanding
Internationalism refers to developing understanding and cooperation between all people and cultures worldwide. It involves seeing oneself as both a member of one's own country as well as a global citizen. Modern technology and economic interdependence have increased the need for internationalism to promote peace, welfare, and mutual understanding between nations. Education plays a key role in developing an international outlook and international organizations like UNESCO work to advance internationalism through various educational and cultural programs and exchanges.

It emphasizes living in harmony in a global community and observing people of all nationalities equally. Components for promoting international relationships include globalizing education, peace education, human rights education, and international organizations. Teachers have an important role by cultivating broad outlooks, understanding humanity, and emphasizing peace.
UNESCO
During World War 2, governments from several European countries met in the UK to discuss ways to reconstruct education after the war.

UNESCO is a specialized agency of the United Nations that seeks to build peace through international cooperation in education, science, and culture. Its objectives include attaining quality education for all, mobilizing science for sustainable development, fostering cultural diversity, and building inclusive knowledge societies.

The Intercultural Dialogue
The document discusses the objectives of the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue in 2008. The goals were to promote intercultural dialogue, highlight its benefits for a diverse society, and make citizens, especially youth, sensitive to developing open and respectful European citizenship. It also aimed to emphasize different cultures' contributions to the shared European heritage. The document notes that intercultural dialogue is important for policies on education, youth, culture, and more. It argues this poses challenges for education systems traditionally focused on forming a common national culture. School curricula must reflect diversity and cultures' contributions while still supporting political unity.
2008 europe’s big culture conversation
The European Year of Intercultural Dialogue (EYID) in 2008 aims to promote mutual understanding between European cultures and celebrate the EU's cultural diversity. The EYID will focus on raising awareness, particularly among youth, of the benefits of intercultural dialogue.

Rethinking education. Towards a global common good? UNESCO
2015. What education do we need for the 21st century? What is the purpose of education
in the current context of societal transformation? How should learning be organized?
These questions inspired the ideas presented in this publication.
In the spirit of two landmark UNESCO publications, Learning to Be: The world of
education today and tomorrow (1972), the ‘Faure Report’, and Learning: The treasure
within (1996), the ‘Delors Report,’ I am convinced we need to think big again today
about education
UNESCO World Report : Investing in Cultural Diversity and Intercultural Dialogue
Culture plays a very special role within UNESCO’s mandate. Not only does it represent a specifi c fi eld of activities, encompassing the safeguarding

mutual understanding through intercultural dialogue, it also permeates all UNESCO’s fi elds of competence. It is therefore a source of satisfaction
that this cross-cutting relevance of culture should be underlined with the publication of this second volume in the series of UNESCO intersectoral
world reports, devoted to cultural diversity. 2009
