Abstract: “Education for International Understanding” (EIU) is an educational concept proposed by UNESCO after World War II, aiming to eliminate war and promote mutual understanding among nations. Over decades of development, countries have explored similar yet distinct teaching content in this domain. Primary and secondary schools can implement Education for International Understanding through cultural learning, global awareness, earth-related issues, and future-oriented choices. However, specific implementation plans for Education for International Understanding are usually formulated based on different age groups and personal backgrounds. Schools should strive for both commonalities and differences in their approach to this education.
