The Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding (APCEIU) was established in 2000 through an agreement between UNESCO and the Government of the Republic of Korea, with the primary objective of promoting education for a Culture of Peace. APCEIU collaborates closely with UNESCO Offices, National Commissions of Member States, relevant educational institutions, and civil society organizations to advance Global Citizenship Education (GCED) within the framework of Education for International Understanding (EIU) in pursuit of a Culture of Peace.

APCEIU is dedicated to fostering a culture of peace through education, aligning with UNESCO's mission of promoting global peace and the well-being of humanity. Its activities encompass strengthening the capacities of nations and regions in international understanding education and GCED, providing support for research and development of pertinent educational curricula, and facilitating the organization of training workshops and seminars for teachers and teacher educators. Moreover, APCEIU plays a pivotal role in enhancing mutual cooperation among stakeholders by serving as a platform for relevant organizations, experts, educators, and civil society activists to engage with one another seamlessly.
