SangSaeng No.49

Book excerpt: SangSaeng(상생) is an English magazine published two times a year by the Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding (APCEIU) under the auspices of UNESCO. SangSaeng aims to be a forum for constructive discussion of issues, methods and experiences in the area of education for international understanding-including education for peace, human rights, cultural diversity and sustainable development. SangSaeng also seeks to promote Global Citizenship Education, which is one the three priorities of Global Education First Initiative launched by the United Nations in 2012. SangSaeng (상생/相生) is originated from a word with two Chinese characters:相 and 生. Sang (相) means 'mutual' (each other) and Saeng (生), meaning 'life'. Put together, they mean "living together" and "helping each other". The 49h issue of SangSaeng, “Safeguarding Heritage to Build Peace,” has been published. All ancient civilizations have contributed in some way to the development of modern society. Therefore, all are equally deserving of study. This edition of SangSaeng aims to examine heritage in its different contexts and to help identify our responsibilities as a global community to understand and tolerate other people’s heritages.
