UN Call: Inputs on Curriculum, Pedagogy & Assessment

At QUEST we mobilized our network of schools, composed of both alternative and traditional schools across Europe, to answer the suggested questionnaire. In the first part of the document we provide you with summaries of their answers based on the educational model. In terms of geographical representation, most of the alternative schools of our network are based in Belgium, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Italy. While our state schools are from Southern European countries.

In the second part, you will find QUEST’s projects and best practices, developed through our effort to mainstream rights based education by promoting adaptable practices within every education system. We believe that by featuring these projects in your report, and leveraging the credibility that the UN holds, there is a higher probability of informing member states about rights based practices and innovation in education that member states can adopt and scale within their education systems.
