联合国教科文组织首家“实验幼儿园”落户中国：威创可儿家育苑获授牌

5月14日，威创集团旗下的可儿幼儿园—北京家育苑幼托中心（The Family Learning House Kindergarten）成为中国推行联合国教科文组织多元文化与多语教育的首家示范园，联合国教科文组织知识社会局局长班纳吉博士（Dr. Indrajit Banerjee）莅临园所参观考察，并与全球说（Talkmate）CEO温荣辉共同主持授牌仪式。

可儿“家育苑幼托中心”是一所蒙台梭利双语学前幼儿园。基于美德教育，“家育苑幼托中心”致力于在传授知识的同时培养孩子的良好品格，使其能够更好的服务人类社会。“家育苑幼托中心”将“美德在我心”品德教育与中英文课程结合在一起，同时注重音乐、艺术、钢琴、芭蕾及网球等素养熏陶，让孩子内外兼修。

在过去的两年时间里，威创集团可儿教育与联合国教科文组织全球伙伴“全球说”紧密合作，在“家育苑幼托中心”实践儿童多元文化多语教育取得了丰硕成果，对构建新的儿童国际教育体系，贯彻联合国2030可持续发展教育目标有重要意义。

具体来看，“家育苑幼托中心”在UNESCO-TALKMATE NEXUS （缩写为UTN）指导下，践行世界小公民教育理念，实验MAPASS架构下的儿童国际课程体系（MAPASS由联合国教科文组织和“全球说”共同构建，以多语言技能和多元文化理解为输出特征）。班纳吉博士在考察过程中，充分肯定了“家育苑幼托中心”在多语教育和多元文化探索方面所取得的成果。

MAPASS国际课程体系

班纳吉博士说，教育体系不仅应该与外交需求的发展同步，也应该与文化、社会的发展同步，在我看来，教育的基础在于孩子，我们期待他们能够成为21世纪的世界公民。

2016年7月，联合国教科文组织与多语言在线学习平台“全球说”确立全球合作关系，并成立UTN为北京联合项目办公室，协助教科文组织在全球范围内具体执行“世界语言地图”项目工作及相关项目内容的推广和落地，以实际行动助力《联合国2030议程》。

今年2月，联合国教科文组织与“全球说”就全面深化合作伙伴关系在法国巴黎总部举行了发布会，“全球说”战略合作伙伴——威创儿童成长平台可儿教育受邀出席。可儿教育CEO回声在会上讲话时表示，我们在不同的课程体系中，以及在学校和家庭等不同领域中，都在不断思考和实践。特别是在过去的两年里，我们与“全球说”紧密合作，在构建儿童多语言教育体系方面不断进行探索，双方共同秉承可持续发展优质教育、培养世界小公民的基本理念，发展儿童品格，进而推动人类未来教育。

UNESCO-Talkmate Awarded the First “Experimental Kindergarten” in China.

On May 14^th 2018, Dr. Indrajit Banerjee, the Director of UNESCO's Knowledge and Social Affairs Bureau, visited “The Family Learning House” Vtron-Korr international kindergarten in Beijing, and awarded it the first “Cultural Diversity and Multilingual Education Experimental Kindergarten” recognized by UNESCO in China.

"The Family Learning House Kindergarten" is a bilingual kindergarten based on Montessori virtue education system. It is dedicated to imparting children's knowledge while emphasizing on nurturing children's good character. "The Family Learning House Kindergarten" brings moral education throughout all basic bilingual courses, and also provides music, art, piano, ballet, tennis and other courses to cultivate children's literacy.

Building a new International Education System for Children

In the past two years, Vtron-Korr has worked closely with UNESCO's global partner, Talkmate, and achieved great success in multilingual and cultural diversity education for children in the "The Family Learning House Kindergarten". The results are of great significance to building a new international education system for children and implementing the UN 2030 education goals for sustainable development.

Specifically, "The Family Learning House Kindergarten" has been practicing the “world's small citizenship” education concept under the guidance of UNESCO-TALKMATE NEXUS (UTN), and has been experimenting the MAPASS system through the teaching courses (MAPASS was built by UNESCO and Talkmate, and features multilingual skills and cultural diversity understanding). After the visit, Dr. Banerjee spoke highly of "The Family Learning House Kindergarten" for their effectiveness and implementation in multilingual education and cultural diversity exploration.

According to Dr. Banerjee, the education system should not only be in step with the development of diplomatic needs, but also should be synchronized with culture and society development. He said, “The foundation of education depends on children. We expect them to become the world citizens in the 21st century.”

Korr Education CEO invited to attend the UNESCO conference

In July 2016, UNESCO became global partnership with Talkmate, a multilingual e-learning platform, and established UTN as joint project office in Beijing to assist UNESCO in implementing the “World Language Map” on a global scale. The project work will help the 《UN 2030 Agenda》through practical actions.

In February of this year, UNESCO and Talkmate held a press conference in Paris, for the purpose of promoting their cooperation partnership. Vtron company, as Talkmate’s strategic partner, was invited to attend the conference. The CEO of Korr spoke at the conference: “for the past 2 years, we have been cooperating with Talkmate, for achieving the goal of establishing and implementing children's multilingual education system. We both share the same principles of developing sustainable quality education, promoting multilingual education, building children’s good character, and for the result of fostering the future globalization talents.”
