UNESCO Associated Schools: First Collection of Good Practices for Quality Education; 2008 GOOD PRACTICES 06 15/09/08 16:04 Page 3 First Collection of Good Practices for Quality Education UNESCO Associated Schools 2008 GOOD PRACTICES 06 15/09/08 16:04 Page 2 UNESCO Associated Schools Good Practices for Quality Education Acknowledgements Deep appreciation is expressed to all of the principals and teachers of UNESCO Associated School (ASPnet) worldwide who completed and returned the ASPnet School Project Report Form for eventual inclusion in this first Collection of ASPnet Good Practices. In view of the large number of excellent reports received it was not possible to publish all of them. However, further collections of ASPnet initiatives are foreseen in the future. Special recognition is given to National Co-ordinators of UNESCO Associated Schools for their unrelenting efforts to provide: pedagogical guidance for the implementation of the ASPnet Strategy and Plan of Action for 2004-2009, backstopping for ASPnet activities and a constant source of inspiration to schools. Their assistance in diffusing the Associated Schools Project Report Forms and returning them to UNESCO made it possible to collect a large number of ASPnet Good Practices including those presented herein. In most Member States of UNESCO, ASPnet is co-ordinated under the auspices of the National Commission for UNESCO or the Ministry of Education. They offer intellectual and material support (policy making, staffing, resources, funding, etc.) to enable the ASP Network to assume its role as “a Quality Network for Quality Education in the 21st Century” as defined at the UNESCO ASPnet International Consultation of Experts (Berlin, 2004). Thanks to their long standing commitment and to the ASPnet International Co-ordination ensured by UNESCO Headquarters in Paris and thanks to the support of UNESCO Field Offices, Associated Schools continue to forge ahead on the path to improving Education For All (EFA) for present and future generations. Finally, special thanks should also go to Ms. Elizabeth Khawajkie, former ASPnet International Coordinator (UNESCO, Paris) for her contributions as editor of this collection and to Ms. Amina Hamshari, Assistant Editor, Division for the Promotion of Basic Education, UNESCO Associated Schools International Coordination Unit. The designations employed and the presentation of materials throughout this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of UNESCO concerning the legal status of any country or territory, or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.

It reports on recent projects and initiatives conducted in support of quality education and it takes a brief look at how ASPnet ensures networking from local to global levels. Associated Schools were invited in 2007 to complete a new ASPnet School Project Report Form which was designed by UNESCO. They were asked to report on their recent projects relating to one of the following four major priority areas in the field of education today: – Inclusive Education identified by the Education for All (EFA) Dakar Framework for Action (2000) as one of the main strategies to address the crucial question of marginalisation and exclusion of children and young people and to serve as an input to the International Conference of Education (ICE) on Inclusive education: the way of the future (Geneva, Switzerland, November 2008) – Education for Sustainable Development in line with the objectives of the International Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014) declared by the United Nations General Assembly and for which UNESCO is the lead agency – Human Rights Education in support of the World Programme for Human Rights Education and its first phase 2005-2007 – Education in support of Intercultural dialogue in favour of unity in diversity and the dialogue among civilizations.

  • 10 Reasons for Heartbeat 1
    2015 10 reasons for Heartbeat 1. Saving needy children with congenital heart disease is our only mission 2. State-of-the-art technology and the best facilities at Hotel Dieu de France are used to care for and treat our patients 3. Removing finance as a barrier is what makes the difference between healing and indifference 4. ‘Music saves lives’ is our motto. Our organization groups musician doctors and other artists. We organize great fundraising concerts, which allow for the treatment of more than 200 children per year 5. We are all volunteers. More than 50 people in medicine, nursing, social work, management, marketing, and operations put their benevolent hands together to achieve our goal 6. Every donated dollar goes directly to the children. As a result of the volunteering efforts, and donations in kind from our partners, the organization runs without overhead 7. Awareness is vital for bringing in patients. Many destitute families aren’t even aware that help is available. We reach out and let them know 8. Family relief is the second most important result after saving the child. The entire family may resume being a productive member of society, especially mothers who often are confined to their homes caring for their sick children 9. Opening the way for others to help: by seeking funding and help from individuals and companies, Heartbeat provides good members of society a trustworthy medium to help others THE HEARTBEAT COMMITTEE 10. The community has solved a problem by itself. No child is being turned away. Thanks to your Ramzi Ashoush, M.D.
