History and name1UNESCO Associated Schools Network: Guide for National CoordinatorsHistory and name11.1In 1953, UNESCO launched a project calledScheme of Co-ordinated Experimental Activities inEducation for Living in a World Community2 withthe participation of 33 secondary schools in 16Member States3. The purpose of the project wasto “encourage the development of education inthe aims and activities of the United Nations andthe Specialized Agencies, and in the principles ofthe Universal Declaration of Human Rights”.41.21.3In 1957, the project was renamed the AssociatedSchools Project in Education for InternationalUnderstanding and Co-operation5, and in 1963,the number of participating schools grew toreach 191 in 42 Member States. In 1971, itwas re-baptized the Associated Schools Projectin Education for International Cooperationand Peace6, and the cooperation among theparticipating schools intensified. In UNESCO’sProgramme and Budget for 1998-1999, theschools involved in the project – 4,224 in 137countries7 – were referred to for the first time asthe Associated Schools Project Network8, with theacronym ASPnet.Currently, ASPnet represents a global networkwith more than 11,000 registered schools in 182countries. As the activities of the members ofthe network have been diversified beyond theinitial framework of a single project, the word“Project” has been dropped and the network isnow called the UNESCO Associated SchoolsNetwork. However, its acronym, ASPnet,remains unchanged to ensure the continuity ofthe network’s institutional history.UNESCO Associated School Project Network (ASPnet): Historical Review 1953 – 2003, UNESCO 2003Further to Resolution 1.341, 7th session of the UNESCO General Conference, 19523Belgium, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Federal Republic of Germany, France, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Pakistan, Philippines, Sweden,Switzerland, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, United States of America, Uruguay and Yugoslavia(in: Meeting Report UNESCO/ED/133 of 21 January 1954)4Resolution 1.341, 7th session of the UNESCO General Conference, 19525Document UNESCO/ED/149 of 4 February 19576Document ED/MD/19, 19717UNESCO’s Associated Schools Project Network (ASPnet) – List of Participating Institutions, UNESCO 19978Approved Programme and Budget for 1998-1999, Document 29 C/5, Paragraph 06028, UNESCO, 1998124

UNESCO Associated Schools Network: Guide for National Coordinators2MissionMissionASPnet aims to “construct the defences of peace in the minds”of its students, by placing UNESCO’s values and objectivesprominently in the organization, lessons, projects and policiesof the participating schools. It emphasizes the four pillarsof education as defined in the Report to UNESCO of theInternational Commission of Education for the Twenty-firstCentury, Learning: The Treasure Within9: learning to know,learning to do, learning to be and, above all, learning to livetogether.Learning: The Treasure Within: Report to UNESCO of the International Commission on Education for the Twenty-First Century;UNESCO 199695

Objectives3UNESCO Associated Schools Network: Guide for National CoordinatorsObjectives3.1ASPnet promotes the values and principlesenshrined in the Constitution of UNESCO andthe Charter of the United Nations, includingfundamental rights and human dignity, genderequality, social progress, freedom, justiceand democracy, respect for diversity andinternational solidarity.103.23.3It serves UNESCO’s mandate11 and keyfunctions, namely to act as a laboratoryof ideas, to strengthen international andregional cooperation, to develop institutionaland human capacities and to contribute todeveloping policies and setting standards.ASPnet contributes to the laboratory function bypioneering innovative and creative pedagogiesto translate global concepts into practices at theschool level and to advance the transformationof education systems and policies. As a globalnetwork, it fosters cooperation, knowledgesharing and partnerships among like-mindedschools around the world.ASPnet intends to provide opportunities forits members to develop a sense of belongingto the global community. It also contributesto the achievement of the SustainableDevelopment Goals (SDGs) adopted in 2015.ASPnet particularly focuses on target 4.7 ofSDG 4 - Education 2030, on global citizenshipeducation (GCED) and education for sustainabledevelopment (ESD).ASPnet is explicitly mentioned in the 1974 Recommendation concerning Education for International Understanding, Co-operationand Peace and Education relating to Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms – one of the major international normative documentson education.11UNESCO is responsible for coordinating international cooperation in education, science, culture and communication, in order tocontribute to building peace.106

UNESCO Associated Schools Network: Guide for National Coordinators4GovernanceGovernance4.1The governance structure of ASPnet consists of three parties:a. International Coordinator at UNESCO Headquarters,b. National Coordinators in the participating countries, andc. Members (UNESCO-certified ASPnet schools).An Online Tool for ASPnet (OTA) is available to facilitate efficient cooperation, networking andcommunication among the three parties.Figure 1: Governance Structure of ne Toolfor atorMemberMemberNationalCoordinatorMember7

GovernanceUNESCO Associated Schools Network: Guide for National Coordinators4.2International CoordinatorThe International Coordinator, who is incharge of ASPnet in the Education Sector atUNESCO Headquarters, is responsible for theglobal coordination and management of thenetwork, providing the National Coordinatorswith strategic, technical and quality-assuranceguidance. He/she has the delegated authorityof UNESCO to certify membership to ASPnetand steers the planning of UNESCO’s globalprojects and activities, in collaboration withUNESCO programme sectors, field officesand institutes. The International Coordinatormaintains frequent communication withNational Coordinators, facilitates collaborationbetween countries and regions, and developscommunication materials and mechanisms tomake the network visible as an agent for change.He/she reports to UNESCO’s governing bodieson the activities of ASPnet, based on the annualreports submitted by the National Coordinatorsand the information provided by the membersthrough OTA (see Section 7: Reporting).84.3National CoordinatorsA National Coordinator is appointed by thecountry’s National Commission for UNESCO12and is responsible for overseeing the operationand management of ASPnet, including qualityassurance, at the country level. Under theauthority of the National Commission13, he/shelinks ASPnet schools with national authoritiesand the International Coordinator at UNESCO,and encourages and supports the developmentand implementation of ASPnet activities inthe country. National Coordinators may beassisted in their tasks by decentralized teams orcoordinators. As communication gates betweenthe members and the International Coordinator,National Coordinators are responsible forrelaying information from the InternationalCoordinator to the members, with support forimplementation where necessary and possible,and for reporting the countries’ ASPnet activitiesto the International Coordinator (See Annex 1:Specific Tasks of the National Coordinator, Annex2: Profile of a National Coordinator and Annex3: Responsibilities of National Commissions forUNESCO).

UNESCO Associated Schools Network: Guide for National CoordinatorsGovernance4.4MembersSchools14 are the members of ASPnet. In everymember school, the principal nominates anASPnet focal point, who liaises with theirNational Coordinator and with other membersand partners. Schools are the main actors ofASPnet, responsible for the development andimplementation of their own innovative projectsand for other initiatives and approaches thatcontribute to a whole-school approach (see alsoSection 8.5). They are also the main beneficiariesand targets of the projects initiated by theirNational Coordinator and/or the InternationalCoordinator. One of their importantresponsibilities is to share their experiences withtheir National Coordinator, with other schools,domestically and abroad, for mutual learning,and with their communities, widening theimpact of ASPnet (see Section 5, in particular 5.3,for responsibilities of members. See also Section8.12 on the difference between ASPnet schools andUNESCO Clubs).4.5Online tools for ASPnet (OTA)OTA is the main platform that allows thethree key actors of ASPnet to connect withone another on a daily basis to manage alltheir administrative and project-relatedcommunication processes for ASPnet, includingthe admission process of new members (seeSection 5.4). It is a space where the ASPnetcommunity can share ideas, find resources,dialogue virtually and collaborate with oneanother. Through its public website, OTAincreases the visibility of the network and itsmembers. Managed by UNESCO Headquarters,it requires the contributions of all NationalCoordinators and members, who haveindividual user IDs and passwords in order toupdate and upload information directly. OTAis accessible through the Internet and mobiledevices without office or home broadband.Wi-Fi in public settings, power lines or satellitecommunications can also be used to go online.In some countries, the National Coordinator is designated by another government entity such as the Ministry of Education andoperates under the authority of this entity, in liaison with the National Commission for UNESCO.13See footnote 12.14The term “schools” includes all types and levels of educational institutions defined in Section 5.1.129

Membership5UNESCO Associated Schools Network: Guide for National CoordinatorsMembership5.1EligibilityMembership to ASPnet is open to all public orprivate schools and teacher training institutionsrecognized by national authorities. Bothformal and non-formal institutions providingpre-primary, primary, secondary, technical orvocational education or teacher training areeligible.155.2CriterionThe main membership criterion is the voluntarycommitment made by the school leadership andcommunity to promote UNESCO’s values, idealsand work through:a. using innovative and participatorymethodologies and approaches,b. providing safe, sustainable, nonviolent, inclusive and effectivelearning environments for all theirstudents,c. interacting with schools in their owncountry and other countries.These aspects of the commitment are examinedin the application process. Members mustalso commit to fulfilling the membershiprequirements listed below.See also Section 8.2. - Can universities become ASPnetmembers?16In some countries, planning meetings may be held instead.15105.3RequirementsMembers must uphold UNESCO’s values andprinciples and perform a set of tasks satisfactorily todisplay and keep their membership status. The tasksare minimum standards set by UNESCO to assurequality in the operation and management of ASPnetand to guarantee that members contribute to thenetwork, fulfilling its mission and objectives. Thesetasks are as follows:a. submission of an annual work plan16to the National Coordinator,with adescription of the expected achievements;b. submission of an annual report to theNational Coordinator, using the templateprovided by him/her (see Section 7.2);c. participation, every school year, in at leastone global or regional project, contest, orcampaign proposed by UNESCO, or in arelated national activity proposed by theNational Coordinator;d. celebration of at least two United Nationsdays, selected from the ASPnet calendaron OTA, involving the entire schoolcommunity;e. external display of a sign of ASPnetmembership at the school, as instructed/provided by the National Coordinator (seeSection 5.9);f.informing their school community aboutthe ASPnet membership (through staff,parent and student meetings; posters;school website, etc.);g. updating their information on OTA at leasttwice every year (contact data, schoolstatistics and activities), if necessary withthe help of the National Coordinator,another member or a partner (see Section8.4).According to the national context, the NationalCoordinator may establish additional requirementsfor membership, in consultation with theInternational Coordinator.

UNESCO Associated Schools Network: Guide for National CoordinatorsMembership5.45.5Admission processPreparatory periodSchools that want to join ASPnet must applyonline on OTA. The admission process is describedin greater detail in Figure 2 and Annex 5 (OnlineTool for ASPnet workflow for membership admission).In exceptional cases when there are technicaldifficulties in submitting or processing admissionsonline, the International Coordinator can provide,upon request, hard-copy forms to the NationalCoordinator, for submission by mail. There is noadmission fee, nor any membership fee to be paidby schools.A preparatory period of at least one year isrecommended for membership candidates, afterthe expression of interest (step 1 of Figure 2) or theapplication (step 3) is submitted to the NationalCoordinator. Countries can devise their ownnational pre-selection and preparatory processeswithin the overall guidelines provided by UNESCO.5.65.7CertificationDurationMembership is granted and certified exclusivelyby UNESCO (step 5 of Figure 2), based on therecommendation received from the NationalCoordinator. UNESCO sends an electronicmembership confirmation to the school and theNational Coordinator. UNESCO also sends a signedoriginal certificate to the National Coordinator fortransmission to the new member. When certified,schools are included in the global UNESCO ASPnetDirectory and receive from UNESCO a login andtutorial for the use of OTA. Only those schoolsofficially certified by UNESCO are called ASPnetmembers.Membership has a fixed duration, which rangesfrom three to five years and is determined flexiblyby the National Coordinator within the givenrange. Membership can be renewed for the sameduration, as long as the required conditions arefulfilled. The main means of verification is theannual member’s report (see Section 7), which theNational Coordinator can complement by visitsor other monitoring and/or evaluation measures.UNESCO may also carry out selective monitoringexercises for quality assurance.Figure 2: How to become an ASP choolNationalCoordinatorUNESCOReviewsexpression ofinterestAppliesfor membershipEvaluatesapplication &Recommendsschool toUNESCOApproves &Certifiesmembership2345InternationalCoordinator11

MembershipUNESCO Associated Schools Network: Guide for National Coordinators5.8Renewal or terminationWhen a membership expires, the National Coordinator informs the member whether or not the requiredtasks (see Section 5.3) were carried out satisfactorily and accordingly confirms the renewal to the member,or recommends that UNESCO terminate its membership (see Figure 3).Meanwhile, a member can end its membership at any time by writing to its National Coordinator, whoinforms UNESCO.In both situations, UNESCO confirms the termination of membership to the member and its NationalCoordinator, and removes the member’s name from the global Directory.Figure 3: ASPnet Membership renewal or terminationNational Coordinatorassesses Member’s reportand additional elements ifavailableMembermeetsrequirementsMember does notsubmit AnnualReport for 2consecutive yearsMember does notmeetrequirementsNational CoordinatorNational CoordinatorConfirms renewalby email or letterto membersInforms members by email orletter that it did not meet therequirements & Recommendstermination to UNESCOUNESCO12123Informs member oftermination with copyto the NationalCoordinatorRemoves memberfrom OTAdirectoryAsks member to return itsUNESCO certificate andother visuals to theNational Coordinator and tostop using the ASPnet logo

UNESCO Associated Schools Network: Guide for National CoordinatorsMembership5.95.10Visual identityMembership agreementThe UNESCO Certificate given to membersshould be visibly displayed in the school.Members may also be given a poster, a signor a flag with the ASPnet Members’ logo bytheir National Coordinator. Alternatively,or in addition, a mural or painting by thestudents could symbolize the school’s ASPnetmembership. Members are entitled to the use ofthe ASPnet members’ logo in accordance withthe rules and regulations of UNESCO (seeAnnex 4: Guideline on the ASPnet Logo Use).The submission of a membership applicationand its acceptance by UNESCO constitutea moral contract between the school andUNESCO, which is based on the school’svoluntary commitment to ASPnet’s missionand objectives and UNESCO’s recognitionthereof. In addition, new members could signan agreement or charter with their NationalCoordinator or National Commission withcountry-specific membership requirements,duration and renewal clauses, which in all casesshould be in line with the provisions of thisguide. Examples of such national documents areavailable on OTA.5.115.12Size“Partner Schools”There is no ceiling to the number of membersthat a country can have. However, in orderto ensure the optimal functioning andmanagement of ASPnet within a country, theNational Coordinator is encouraged to keepthe number at a level that can be managedreasonably, in line with the resources available.In recommending schools for membership,the National Coordinator should ensure to theextent possible that the schools are from varyingregions and settings and cover different levels ofeducation.If desired or necessary, the NationalCoordinator can develop, in consultation withthe International Coordinator, modalities orstructures for occasional or regular participationof non-member schools in certain ASPnetactivities and events. UNESCO recognizesonly the certified members, but these areencouraged to share their experiences andcollaborate with other schools on a regular basisin order to increase the outreach and impact ofASPnet activities in their local communities. Theofficial entitlements reserved for members donot apply to these “partner schools”. They areneither included in the ASPnet directory, norcalled “ASPnet” schools.13

Activities & projects6UNESCO Associated Schools Network: Guide for National CoordinatorsActivities & projects6.16.2Types of activitiesThematic focusASPnet activities and projects can bedeveloped by the International Coordinator,National Coordinators, UNESCO field officesand institutes, or member schools themselves.Members can choose the ASPnet activitiesand projects that they want to implement,but they must also contribute every year to atleast one activity initiated by the InternationalCoordinator, or to a related national activityproposed by their National Coordinator (seeSection 5.3.3 above). For some specific nationalor international projects, there could be aselection process. Most of the campaignactivities are open to all members.In line with its mission and objectives (seeSections 2 and 3), ASPnet contributes to theachievement of global and national goalswhich can vary over time. In the context ofthe SDG agenda, and in particular SDG 4 Education 2030, the thematic action areas ofASPnet include:a. global citizenship and a culture ofpeace and non-violence,b. sustainable development andsustainable lifestyles; andc. intercultural learning and theappreciation of cultural diversity andheritage.In view of the decisions made by the MemberStates of UNESCO, the International Coordinatordevelops global or regional ASPnet projectson specific themes, in collaboration with therelevant units of the Secretariat.14

UNESCO Associated Schools Network: Guide for National CoordinatorsActivities & projects6.36.4Celebration of international DaysGuidance and supportThe celebration of International Days selectedby the International Coordinator is a good entrypoint for teaching and learning about UNESCOvalues and priorities. A calendar of internationaldays from which members can select thosethey will observe is available on OTA. Whereneeded, UNESCO develops specific resources,materials and proposals for their observance.The celebration of international days shouldinvolve the entire school and possibly eveninitiatives targeting the wider community.Members will mainly receive guidanceand technical support from their NationalCoordinator, as well as access to best practices,so they can plan and implement their activities.UNESCO, and more precisely the InternationalCoordinator, field offices and institutes, willprovide guidance and support for internationaland regional projects to and through NationalCoordinators, and may mobilize support fromother partners for certain projects.6.5FundingASPnet membership does not entail financial benefits for the members. ASPnet activities/projectsinitiated by members are to be self-funded. However, participation in meetings called by UNESCOor National Coordinators can be fully or partly funded, if resources are available. Participation incertain projects managed or promoted by UNESCO can also be funded or co-funded. Furthermore,National Coordinators can apply for the funding or co-funding of ASPnet activities through UNESCO’sParticipation Programme, which is designed to support initiatives proposed by Member States.17UNESCO’s Participation Programme is a means of supporting the national, subregional or regional activities of Member States thatare in line with the Organization’s Regular Programme priorities. Each biennium, after the adoption of the programme and budget,proposals can be submitted to the Director-General of UNESCO for approval via the National Commissions for UNESCO.1715

Reporting7UNESCO Associated Schools Network: Guide for National CoordinatorsReporting7.17.2Annual reportMember’s reportReports are the main means of verificationfor the fulfilment of individual membershiprequirements and overall quality assurance.Reporting is necessary for every party of thegovernance structure (see Section 4.1): theInternational Coordinator, National Coordinatorsand members.The National Coordinator gives to all membersin the country a template, a submission dateand guidance for their annual report, which ismandatory (see Section 5.3.2 above). Members’reports provide input for the National Reportthat National Coordinators must submit toUNESCO. In addition to reporting on activitiescompleted, the Member’s Report shall containa description of changes or improvementsresulting from ASPnet activities or initiatives, aswell as the challenges and obstacles that theyexperienced.7.37.4National reportGlobal reportThe National Coordinator prepares an annualreport based on a template provided by UNESCOand submits it every year by 15 January,online, to the International Coordinator. Thenational report includes qualitative but alsoquantitative data, and a synthesis and analysis ofmembers’ work and the resulting achievementsand challenges, based on the members’ reports.The exact dates of the one-year period coveredin the national report can vary from country tocountry, depending, among other factors, on thenational school calendar.Every year, based on the national reports andcomplementary data and information (e.g.collected from OTA and UNESCO field offices),the International Coordinator prepares a shortglobal report on ASPnet, which is disseminatedto National Commissions for UNESCO, NationalCoordinators and members. In addition, theInternational Coordinator regularly contributesto the reports for UNESCO’s governing bodies.16

UNESCO Associated Schools Network: Guide for National Coordinators8Frequently asked questionsFrequently asked questions8.18.4Is there a fixed term for the appointmentof National Coordinators?What happens if members have problemsaccessing OTA?No. It is up to every National Commissionfor UNESCO to decide. A certain degree ofcontinuity may facilitate the planning andimplementation of larger projects and thedevelopment of collaboration with othercountries.Access to OTA is essential for members andNational Coordinators, and any technicalproblems that arise should be solved asquickly as possible. For technical issueslogging in or uploading materials to OTA,the International Coordinator can providetechnical assistance. For issues relatedto equipment or connectivity, NationalCoordinators are expected to provideassistance to the members concerned. Thiscould include the transmission of informationthrough mobile technology or the telephone,downloading and printing documentsfor them or mobilizing better-connectedmembers to assist in uploading informationand materials to OTA.8.2Can universities become ASPnetmembers?No. UNESCO has a separate network foruniversities, the UNITWIN/UNESCO ChairsProgramme, which promotes internationalinter-university cooperation and networking.ASPnet membership at tertiary level is openonly to teacher training institutions.8.3Is academic excellence a precondition forASPnet membership?No. The most important criterion formembership is the voluntary commitmentmade by the school leadership andcommunity to promote UNESCO’s values andideals (see Section 5.2 above). ASPnet is not an“elite” network. It includes schools operatingin a great diversity of contexts, with differentconditions and levels of resources.8.5What is a whole-school approach?A whole-school approach is inclusive ofall students, school staff and partners, andaddresses the needs of learners not onlythrough the curriculum but through allaspects of school life. It implies collectiveand collaborative action in and by a schoolcommunity to improve student learning,behaviour and wellbeing, and the conditionsthat support these.17

Frequently asked questionsUNESCO Associated Schools Network: Guide for National Coordinators8.6Must National Coordinators carry outa formal evaluation of all schools toprepare the national report?Not necessarily. The members’ reports are thebasic means of verification of their activitiesand the quality of their engagement.However, the members’ reports should becomplemented by regular communicationbetween the National Coordinators and theschools - OTA postings, media reports, etc.- that can provide evidence of the reportedactivities and achievements. Periodic formalevaluations, if feasible, are, of course, anexcellent means to assess progress, ensurequality and provide guidance to schools, butthey are not compulsory for the preparationof the national report.8.7What should National Coordinators do ifthe materials produced by UNESCO arenot in the languages used by and in theschools?Most UNESCO documents and materialsare produced in English and French, thetwo working languages of UNESCO. Whereresources are available, they can also betranslated into other official United Nationslanguages, namely Spanish, Arabic, Russianand Chinese. Translation into other languagesneeds to be arranged and supported locally.188.8Can the members apply for funding atUNESCO?No. UNESCO is not a funding organization assuch, and cannot provide individual schoolswith financial support.
