UNESCO’s Educational Philosophy – Lessons from the World’s Most Progressive Nations
This philosophy was articulated in the influential report “Learning: The Treasure Within” (UNESCO, 1996), which introduced the Four Pillars of Education:
Learning to Know, Learning to Do, Learning to Live Together, and Learning to Be.
These pillars not only reflect the journey of personal growth, but also emphasize the vital role of education in building a just and sustainable society.
The Ma-Coong Drum Beating Festival
The Ma-Coong Drum Beating Festival is one of the most unique cultural events of the Bru - Van Kieu ethnic group, held annually in the Truong Son mountains, Quang Binh. This festival is not only a traditional ritual deeply rooted in spiritual beliefs but also an occasion for the community to come together, enjoy festivities, and find life partners. With the resounding drumbeats echoing through the vast jungle, the festival is a symbol of reverence for the gods and a cultural emblem of the Ma-Coong people.
