The ASPnet Strategic Framework explains how UNESCO's pioneering Associated Schools Network (ASPnet) contributes to the achievement of UNESCO’s strategic objectives for Education. This Framework outlines the key thematic areas, innovative educational approaches, and the anticipated outcomes of this dynamic community of educational innovators. It also delineates the roles and responsibilities of its primary stakeholders.

 

The three thematic areas are : "Peace through Global Citizenship Education," "Education for Sustainable Development," and "Intercultural Learning and Appreciation of Cultural Diversity and Heritage." Through initiatives in these areas, ASPnet members inspire and empower teachers, principals, students, families, education professionals, and policymakers to champion transformative education. This prepares learners to become responsible global citizens in an ever-evolving and complex world. Ultimately, the goal is for all participants in this ecosystem to learn from one another and promote international understanding.
