Learning to live together, involves among other things students developing an understanding of others as they work together to achieve common goals (Delors, 1996) ,while completing projects involving activities for promoting the cognitive, moral and cultural dimensions of learning (Tawil & Cougoureux, 2014). These activities should include opportunities for discovering others and experiencing shared purposes (UNESCO Bangkok , 2014).

UNESCO (2014) identifies several factors contributing to the prioritizing of Learning to Live within the Asia Pacific Region.

Recently UNESCO Bangkok, with the support of UNESCO examined the translation of these to concepts by investigating a range of contexts linked to the following countries in the Asia Pacific Region – Afghanistan, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, The Philippines, the Republic of Korea, Sri Lanka and Thailand (UNESCO Bangkok , 2014). Further details on the methodology and limitations of the research may be found on pp.8-9 of the report.
