The World Council for Curriculum and Instruction （WCCI） is a world organization committed to mission of a just and peaceful world community by providing a platform for educators from various parts of the world to engage in efforts to ensure that education contributes to the promotion of equity， peace and the realization of human rights. It promotes person-to-person contacts and professional relationships. WCCI encourages and facilitates collaboration in curriculum and instruction projects， dialogue in global educational and social issues， exchange of ideas， concerns and solutions to problems， and learning from one another cross-culturally and transnationally.
Organized at a conference in Asilomar， California in 1970， WCCI is a non-governmental organization （NGO） formally recognized by the United Nations and has been accorded consultative status with the world body’s Economic and Social Council （ECOSOC）. Educator Alice Miel of Michigan， USA is recognized as the Founder of WCCI.
世界课程与教学委员会是致力于建设一个公正和平的国际社会的国际组织，通过搭建平台让来自世界各地的教育工作者可以保证发挥教育在促进平等、和平以及实现人权方面的作用。它可以促进人与人之间联系及职业关系。该组织鼓励并支持课程及教学项目的合作、关于全球教育及社会问题的对话和跨文化跨国界的有关思想、解决问题方式的交流与学习。
1970年，在加拿大阿西洛玛成立的世界课程与教学委员会是一个非政府组织，后正式被联合国承认并为联合国经济社会理事会咨询机构。来自美国密歇根的教育家Alice Miel为该组织创始人。
The Mission of WCCI is clearly defined in the Preamble of its Constitution which articulates that “... As educators in the world community， we have the responsibility to ensure that education contributes to the promotion of equity， peace and the realization of human rights. To this end， all curricular and instructional programs should facilitate in every person the development of ：
（1） a comprehensive sense of respect of self， others and the environment and （2） the capacity to participate at all levels of the world society from local to global. As individuals we commit ourselves to strive toward these ideals and full purposes of the organizations within our professional responsibilities and in our organizational relationships”.
I joined WCCI in 1971， a year after its formation and I can attest firmly that the organization is true to its mission in achieving peace and justice in all forms of educational endeavor. We are proud that we are able to stick to our course in advancing Peace Education as the centerpiece of our educational mission.
世界课程与教学委员会的使命在其章程序言已被清楚写出作为国际社会的教育工作者，我们有责任确保教育可以发挥在促进平等、和平以及实现人权方面的作用。为此，所有的课程及教学项目需要有利于每个人在以下方面的发展：
（1）尊重自身、他人及环境（2）融入本地及全球各级社会的能力。本着专业职责及组织关系，作为个人我们致力于追求这些理想以及实现组织完整目标。 我于世界课程及教学委员会成立一年后的1971年加入该组织，我可以坚决地证明该组织一直忠于其通过各种形式的教育努力来实现世界和平与公正的使命。我们为能坚持将促进和平教育作为教育使命中心任务的努力而感到骄傲。
The major activity of WCCI is its world conferences which started in 1974 as a triennial conference held in different countries of the world. WCCI world conferences are primarily organized to promote person-to-person contact and transnational educational experiences and exchanges through collaboration with colleagues from other professional organizations around the world sharing the same educational concerns， activities， projects， and practices in education. WCCI conferences also offer the opportunity to work with officials from the United Nations， UNESCO as well as other NGO’s specifically focused on educational matters.
In advancing its objectives， WCCI has focused on the culture of peace in choosing the themes for its conferences in recent years like， “Pedagogy of Diversity： Creating a Culture of Peace”； “Building a Culture of Peace for a Civil Society”； “Creating a Global Culture of Peace： Strategies for Curriculum and Development”； “Educating for Peace and Harmony with the Earth and Ourselves” and “Integrating Education for a Lasting Culture of Peace and Care of Planet Earth”.
世界课程及教学委员会的主要活动是自1974年开始每三年一次在世界不同国家召开的国际会议。该国际会议主要是为了促进人与人之间的联系及跨国界教育经验的交流。来自世界各地专业机构的同事们一道分享教育相关想法、活动、项目及实践。同时相关会议也提供了同联合国、联合国教科文组织以及其他专门从事教育事业的非政府组织官员合作的机会。
为了推进目标的实现，在近几年的会议主题选择上都着重于和平文化，如“教育学的多样性：创造一种和平文化”、“为民间社会构建和平文化”、“构建世界和平文化：课程与发展的战略”、“为地球及人类自身和平与和谐的教育”和“为实现持续和平文化及保护地球的整合教育”。
These triennial WCCI World Conferences were held in countries who offered to host them with a theme always built around the mission of peace and justice and with emphasis on the promotion and sustainability of a person-to-person relationship among members which has now grown to a thousand plus membership from nearly forty countries. Such close interaction over the years has evolved in to a global WCCI Family which is certainly a unique feature of our world organization of educators in action. In the 2004 World Conference held in Australia， it was decided that triennial format creates a large gap between world conferences， thereby taking away the opportunity for the increasing membership to come together and deliberate on needed action in the field of education promoting peace and justice. There a decision was made to hold the world conference every two years. The first biennial world conference was held in 2006 in Manila， Philippines， which already hosted a WCCI conference in 1981. The listing of the world conferences with their host countries clearly shows the expanse of WCCI’s outreach in all parts of the world as well as the diversity of its membership： （1） 1974： Keele， United Kingdom；（2） 1977： Istanbul， Turkey； （3） 1980： Tagaytay， Philippines； （4） 1983： Edmonton， Canada； （5） 1986： Hiroshima， Japan； （6） 1989： Noorwijkerhout， The Netherlands； （7） 1992： Cairo， Egypt； （8） 1995： Amritsar， India； （9） 1998： Bangkok， Thailand； （10） 2001： Madrid， Spain； （11） 2004： Wollongong， Australia； （12） 2006： Manila， Philippines； （13） 2008： Antalya， Turkey； （14） 2010： Pecs， Hungary； （15） 2012： Kaohsiung， Taiwan； （16） 2014： San Diego， USA.
三年一届的世界课程及教学委员会国际会议于各国召开，会议主题始终围绕其促进和平与正义的使命，并强调促进人与人之间联系的发展及可持续性，该组织已经有来自近40个国家的超过1，000多名会员。年复一年的亲密互动已发展成全球性的大家庭，是国际组织的教育工作者们行动的一大特色。2004年国际会议在澳大利亚召开，会议认为三年一届的模式让会议之间的间隔拉开得过大，从而失去了加强会员之间关于教育促进和平与正义方面的联系与交流以及审议相关行动的机会。会议决定改为每两年召开一次。第一次两年一届的会议于2006年在菲律宾的马尼拉召开，该市已于1981年举办过一次国际会议。
国际会议及承办国名单清楚地表明了世界课程及教学委员会影响范围之广，成员之多样：（1）1974：英国基尔；（2）1977：土耳其伊斯坦布尔；（3）1980：菲律宾达雅台；（4）1983：加拿大埃德蒙顿；（5）1986：日本广岛；（6）1989：荷兰诺德韦克豪特；（7）1992：埃及开罗；（8）1995：印度阿姆利则；（9）1998：泰国曼谷；（10）2001：西班牙马德里；（11）2004：澳大利亚伍伦贡；（12）2006：菲律宾马尼拉；（13）2008：土耳其安塔利亚；（14）2010：匈牙利佩奇；（15）2012：台湾高雄；（16）2014：美国圣地亚哥。
I am blessed to be able to attend ALL the WCCI conferences and to serve WCCI in different official capacities namely： as Chair of the Invitation Committee， as Conference Director， as Vice President， as President， as Member of the Board of Directors and since 1995 to the present as Executive Director. All these positions have been voluntary and honorary but nothing can match the intrinsic rewards those have brought to me.
Let me highlight in this article the WCCI 16th World Conference held at the Town and Country Resort and Convention Center in the US city of San Diego， California in August 2014. The theme of this conference， “Integrating Education for a Lasting Culture of Peace and Care of Planet Earth” has put together two important issues that WCCI is very concerned with and involved in. It connected education with the culture of peace for the humanity as well as with the sustainability of the Planet Earth， our home. The San Diego conference represented a model and prototype of WCCI as a world organization in action. The theme speaks to its mission. Its session devoted to United Nations inspired and created a special excitement of the participants on the UN-WCCI relationship and interaction. The inclusion of a presentation by the Soka University of America of its Master of Education program provided an example of a university that responds to an international model of education program. 我非常有幸参与到所有的国际会议以及通过担任不同的职位来尽责：邀请委员会负责人、会务主管、副主席、主席、董事会成员以及自1995年至今担任执行主任。虽然所有这些职位都是自愿担当并带给我荣誉的，但是没有任何东西能比得上它们带给我的内在嘉奖。
我要强调的是于2014年8月在加利福利亚圣地亚哥城乡度假及会议中心召开的第16届世界课程及教学委员会国际会议。此次会议的主题是“为实现持续和平文化及保护地球的整合教育”，将组织非常关注并参与的两个重要议题联系在了一起。它将教育同人类的和平文化以及地球的可持续发展联系到了一起。圣地亚哥会议已成为世界课程及教学委员会开展国际行动的模板。这一主题证明了其使命，致力于联合国的会议激励并让参与者们热衷于联合国与该组织之间的联系和互动。美国索卡大学的相关展示及硕士教育项目成为大学参与国际教育项目的典范。
I would like to conclude by quoting our keynote speaker at the 2012 world conference Ambassador Anwarul K. Chowdhury， former Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations who said very succinctly that “Peace education needs to be accepted in all parts of the world， in all societies and countries as an essential element in creating culture of peace. To meet effectively the challenges posed by the present complexity of our time， the young of today deserves a radically different education –'one that does not glorify war but educates for peace， non-violence and international cooperation.' They need the skills and knowledge to create and nurture peace for their individual selves as well as for the world they belong to. Learning about the culture of peace having the potential of personal transformation should be incorporated in all educational institutions as part of their curricula， and should become an essential part of our educational processes as reading and writing.” He went on to affirm that “Indeed， this should be more appropriately called 'education for global citizenship'. Such learning cannot be achieved without well-intentioned， sustained， and systematic peace education that leads the way to the culture of peace.”
This is so relevant to the broader mission and objectives of WCCI which will be observing its 45th anniversary this summer as a world organization in action. It continues to be very vibrant and living up to its mission of peace and justice.
最后我想要引用2012年大会发言人、联合国前副秘书长Anwarul K. Chowdhury大使的话，“和平教育需要被世界、社会、国家所接受，并成为构建和平文化的必要因素。为了有效地应对当今世界复杂的挑战，青年人需要彻底改变的教育——这样的教育不会赞美战争而是呼吁和平、非暴力及国际合作。他们需要创建并培育属于个人及世界的和平的能力及知识。学习和平文化能够促进个人的转变，因而应该被整合到所有的教育机构的课程当中，同时也应作为像是读书、写作等教育过程的组成部分。”他肯定地表明“这个更适合被叫做‘全球公民教育’。这样的学习如果没有好意、持续及系统的可以促进和平文化的和平教育是无法实现的。”
世界课程及教学委员会的相关使命及目标更加广泛，同时夏季将召开45周年纪念活动。组织将会继续积极地行动并致力于完成其和平与正义的使命。
