Since its establishment in 2000 by an agreement between UNESCO and the Government of the Republic of Korea, the Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding (APCEIU) has pursued the mission of promoting education for international understanding and global citizenship towards a culture of peace. APCEIU has made tireless efforts to make progress in this crucial task through its five major programmes: research and policy development, capacity-building, development of teaching and learning materials, international teacher exchange, and information sharing and networking.
