IAEWP PROMOTES WORLD CORE CURRICULUM

The following excerpt comes from a letter written by Mitchell L. Gold, IAEWP General Secretariat and Executive Director of Homeplanet Alliance which is directly operated by IAEWP. The letter is addressed to John Fraser, Ambassador for the Environment:

A second matter comes to mind that arose out of last nights discussion, and one that also may have great significance. That is in regard to the question posed by Dr. Inge Bolin of Malaspina University. She asked what the College could do in the process of education that would directly affect sustainability. As you may recall, when I stepped in to complete your answer, and I pointed out in my response to her question, the validity of Global Education and World Core Curriculum concepts in this regard. I would ask you to query CIDA as to the possibility of reinstating the Global Education Programs that shut down two years ago. This request appears to be mandated both by your job description as well as a possible solution to some problems you have identified with public information and understanding.

While this may seem to be counterproductive to my own self-interest, as our programs - on the internet - are attempting to fill that void in the marketplace - It is for the sake of the greater good that I make this proposal to you.

I should like you to be aware of the history of the World Core Curriculum that was first enunciated by Robert Muller. It was 1972 in British Columbia when he heard the difficulties encountered in the Canadian education system that Robert had his great "ahaa" with regards to his program. He said - "You have these difficulties in Canada, imagine how difficult it must be at the United Nations?" And no truer words have ever been spoken. People that heard him speak after that have built education programs around that message, and our website contains synthesized versions from the leaders in the field. (Bolding mine)
