The UNESCO Week for Peace and Sustainable Development: The role of education will take place in Ottawa, Canada, from 6 to 10 March 2017. Organized by UNESCO and the Canadian Commission for UNESCO, the event will focus on the issue of teachers and teacher training, and highlight best practices in the fields of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Global Citizenship Education (GCED).

The event represents a unique platform for discussion on two key programmes of the Education Sector, namely Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Global Citizenship Education (GCED), and their practical contribution in achieving Target 4.7 of the Sustainable Development Goal 4 on Education.

The event also provides the opportunity to gather two important events organized back-to-back with sessions open to all participants:

• The Review Forum for the UNESCO Global Action Programme (GAP) on ESD: implementation and innovation
• The Third UNESCO Forum on Global Citizenship Education (GCED): the Role of Teachers.
