is better than the present we are passing on to them. Such process of rei—
magining education is one that needs serious and concerted efforts of many.
It needs to involve students, parents and community members, and many
teachers and those who support their work. The framework we have offered
in this book is intended to support such process of reimagining and col-
laboration. We have used a Creative Commons license to disseminate this
work to facilitate the deepest possible forms of collaboration among teachers
as professionals in building upon our work. In order to succeed globally in
educating all students to be empowered global citizens, we will need to see
unprecedented collaboration leading to collective intelligence about how to
do this. This book is only a small step in that ambitious and necessary glob—
al effort to align education with the aspirations reflected in the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights and in the Sustainable Development Goals.

We conclude this book with deep hope that from those beginnings will
emerge a world in which we can all live in Peace, with one another, and with
all forms of life on this earth.
