Call for papers about International Day of Peace at Global Education Magazine
an article by Javier Collado Ruano, Global Education Magazine
CPNN readers are invited to submit an article to the next
edition of Global Education Magazine which will be focused in
the International Day of Peace on 21 September. It is
dedicated to world peace, and specifically the absence of war
and violence, such as might be occasioned by a temporary
ceasefire in a combat zone for humanitarian aid access. The
day was first celebrated in 1982, and is kept by many nations,
political groups, military groups, and peoples. In 2013, for the
first time, the Day was dedicated by the Secretary-General of
the United Nations to peace education, the key preventive
means to reduce war sustainably

Global Education Magazine is inspired by universal values of
the Declaration of Emerging Human Rights that aims to
contribute to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by
United Nations (MDGs) which is supported by the Regional
Offices of Latin America and the Caribbean of UNESCO and
UNHCR. An initiative launched by the teaching team that
formulated the proposal most voted in the group “Sustainable
Development for the Eradication of Poverty in Rio+20”. Global
Education Magazine is an educational e-journal with
international character that seeks to promote ideas and
experiences from the work of educational professionals, as
well as NGOs, Voluntary Associations, Supranational, National,
Regional and Local Institutions and Organizations, that
struggle every day to achieve the MDGs
Reflecting on the value and significance of education in the
globalized era of the 21st century requires tackling global
dynamics (economic, political, cultural, social, educational,
etc.) with new forms of cooperation and democratic social
organization to respond to the challenge of governance in a
cosmopolitan society. Therefore, we consider that the new
network societies promoting a better awareness of the
problems of a local-global and global-local: the “glocal
issues”.
Our mission is to establish a meeting point between different
educational agents from all around the world. We wish to
provide new opportunities for creation, dissemination and
exchange of experiences and multi, inter and transdisciplinary
knowledge that serve for formulation and organization of a
new, complex thinking and humanistic and philanthropic
feeling to interpret the currently world, respecting their
cultural diversity fully, because the peace, poverty eradication
and sustainable development can only be the result of equity,
sprouted from the appreciation and respect for cultural
diversity.
This plurality is intrinsic in our work philosophy and our
holistic vision of the internationalist education, because we
welcome the publication of articles in any official language.
This sustains the source of life and the equity of the multi and
intercultural society-world. For that reason, publishing your
articles will be free!
