Message from the Vice Mayor, Pécs, Hungary
Dear Guests,
It is a great pleasure for me to welcome you in Pécs, the Cultural
Capital of Europe in the year 2010. Preparing the urban inhabitants for
the changes of the 21st century is a special focus of the Cultural
Capital programme. This is why we are in particular happy to have the
14th World Conference in Education organised here by WCCI and the
Faculty of Adult Education and Human Resource Development of the
University of Pécs - our priority partner.
I wish you a pleasant stay in Pécs, and if you like our renewed city,
please come back later!

Welcome Message
It is great pleasure and honour for me to share a few of my ideas with the participants
of the 14th World Conference in Education. This prestigious event suits perfectly the
spirit of the Pécs2010 European Capital of Culture Programme because of several
reasons. Pécs gives home to one of the country’s greatest universities with the
highest number of students, so the city is the most important centre of scientific life in
this region. The University of Pécs has been a significant strategic partner for bringing
the Pécs2010 ECoC Programme to life. This is true in relation to some of the key
investment/city development projects (South Transdanubian Regional Library and
Knowledge Centre and the Zsolnay Cultural Quarter), and in relation to some cultural
events that include this 14th World Conference in Education.
Education has had an essential role in the preparatory years of the Pécs2010
programme; teaching and learning were in focus in the year 2007. The seat of
Baranya and the South Transdanubian Region got a huge opportunity to place this
area on the cultural map of Europe. The city has offered many hundreds of
outstanding cultural programmes in the past few years, and offers more than 450
imposing programmes in the title year to attract the most visitors interested in all
genres of arts, alternative theatre, different festivals and numerous world-renowned
artists.
I hope that during this conference over the exchange of professional ideas and the
results of different researches the participants will have the chance of getting
acquainted with the city, of feeling its moods and of experiencing its colourfulness.

Dear Participants of the 14th World Conference in Education,
I have the honor to extend a cordial welcome to all of you on behalf of the University of
Pécs, Hungary. You are being hosted by the youngest college – the Faculty of Adult
Education and Human Resources Development - of the oldest university in Hungary
whose foundation dates back to 1367. We are proud of our Central-European traditions
in education and culture shaped in multicultural contexts, while realizing the unceasing
need for a democratic civic education for peace, understanding and tolerance.
40 active years of WCCI is the strongest argument for the need of an expert community
that is committed to the peace among the peoples and nations and to the improvement
of human qualities through the education of both local and global world citizens.
The challenges are huge: combating poverty, illiteracy, hostility and conflicts is
imperative in almost all countries which are characterized by diversity in educational and
cultural backgrounds greater than ever before. The central theme of the 14th World
Conference could not be more timely: Defining Democracy, Freedom and
Entrepreneurship in the Context of a Globalized Civil Society. All the ingredients of a
challenging enterprise are included in the title which focuses on the responsibility of
educators to offer viable models and guidance to young people in the modern world in
developing their own responsibilities while creating freedom, civic attitudes, democratic
values and maintaining human dignity together with ethical norms and meaningful lives
to contribute to progress and happiness in civil societies.
I wish you a most successful and enjoyable conference in the Cultural Capital of Europe
2010 during which you may ease the burden of education, a most serious intellectual
engagement of human communities by making sense of the multi-cultural diversities we
experience in our globalized world.

Rector

Dear WCCI Participants,
On behalf of Alliant International University I am pleased to
offer my greetings and congratulations to the participants of the
14th World Council of Curriculum and Instruction conference in
Pecs, Hungary. It is also notable that this year marks the 40th
anniversary since the founding of the WCCI in Asilomar, California back in 1970.
Throughout the four decades the WCCI has played a vital role in promoting international
communication and understanding through educational innovation and we at Alliant
salute you for this leadership role on behalf of peace and global justice.
Alliant International University is proud to co-sponsor this meeting. As home to the WCCI
Secretariat, Alliant has always regarded the work of WCCI as an extension of its own
educational mission. Alliant prepares students for leadership roles in the professions,
ranging from education and psychology, to business and management. With a
longstanding commitment to education in a multicultural and international context, we
attempt to infuse all of our programs with an emphasis on working across cultural and
national boundaries. We regard the WCCI’s work as congruent with our own, and we
take special pride in hosting it on our campus in San Diego, California.
The city of Pecs with its two thousand year history as a melting pot of different cultures
seems a very appropriate site for this conference and celebration of the 40th anniversary
of the WCCI. I’m sure that you will find it a rich and stimulating environment for your
meeting.
With best wishes for a productive and successful conference, I send my warmest
regards.
Sincerely,
Geoffrey M. Cox, PhD

Welcome
World Council for Curriculum and Instruction 14th World Conference in Education
The Faculty of Adult Education and HRD of the University of Pécs welcomes all
participants to the World Council for Curriculum and Instruction (WCCI) 14th World
Conference in Education, organised in association with the Shirley M. Hufstedler School
of Education, Alliant International University, in San Diego, USA.
Today, the University of Pécs is one of the largest institutions of higher education in
Hungary with the widest spectrum of teaching and research activities, well known and
recognised both nationally and internationally. Our University represents and lays claim
to a great tradition dating back to the 14th century, while at the same time it is playing an
active role in the task of institutionalising new knowledge aimed both at the present day
and at the future. The Faculty of Adult Education and Human Resources Development
occupies a place as a leading centre and coordinator of adult education and human
resource development in the region.
The goal of the conference is “Defining Democracy, Freedom and Entrepreneurship
in the Context of A Globalized Civil Society”, a topic that is extremely current in
modern-day in Hungary and in the neighboring Eastern European countries as well as in
other parts of the world. Engaging in such discussions and exchanging ideas and
practices among researchers, academics and practitioners can bring us all closer to a
peaceful and responsible society.
We wish all participants a great professional experience at the conference and we hope
that you will enjoy the Hungarian hospitality, its heart captured in the celebrations being
organised in Pécs, the European Capital of Culture in 2010.

School of Education
On behalf of the faculty, staff, and students of Alliant International University and the
Shirley M. Hufstedler School of Education, named for the first United States Secretary of
Education, I bring greetings and congratulations to the World Council for Curriculum and
Instruction on the occasion of its 40th Anniversary Celebration and 14th World Conference.
Alliant International University is a globally engaged institution, a professional practice
university, one dedicated to preparing students for professional careers of service in
Education, Psychology, Business, Forensic Studies, and Law, which improve the lives of
people throughout the world. At the Hufstedler School of Education, we prepare
educational leaders for a global society.
What an impressive accomplishment for WCCI to have achieved forty years of excellence
and global leadership focused on peace education, which has so positively touched the
lives of so many. Certainly we, at the Hufstedler School of Education, are honored to be the
academic home to the WCCI Secretariat, and to have as treasured colleagues, Dr. Estela
Matriano, Professor of Cross Cultural Studies and Executive Director of WCCI, as well as
Ms. Carole Caparros, WCCI Executive Assistant. During this week of scholarly endeavor,
here, at the University of Pe’cs, in this special European cradle of culture in Hungary, we
once again gather with our colleagues to share our commitment to “Democracy, Freedom,
and Entrepreneurship in the Context of A Globalized Civil Society”, our conference theme.
Dr. Sandor Klein, distinguished professor, and WCCI International Conference Director and
his conference committee are to be applauded for their outstanding work in preparation for
this important gathering. We must also extend our deep appreciation to the faculty and staff
of the Adult Education and Human Resources Department at the University of Pécs for
their hospitality and good will. Dr. Minnie Ladores, of Frostburg State University, Maryland,
USA has assembled an outstanding program for us, and we look forward to words of
wisdom from Dr. Vincent Shieh, WCCI President.
Accolades to all co-sponsors and supporters of this vital meeting of stellar academicians! To
be empowered is to see ourselves as leaders, and to understand the importance of the work
that all of us do. Congratulations, again, to the leadership of WCCI, its founders, and to all of
us who have come from around the world to make this 14th World Conference an
outstanding event. I wish the World Council for Curriculum and Instruction great success!

Message from the WCCI President
Dear WCCI Friends and Colleagues:
Welcome to the WCCI 14th World Education Conference and the 40th Year
Celebration.
It is with great honor and privilege that I greet you in this historic milestone of WCCI. It has been a
remarkable 40 years for WCCI and I am proud to be part of its history for 24 years since I joined
this prestigious organization in 1986 at the 5 th WCCI World Conference in Hiroshima, Japan. I
was a graduate student of Dr. Estela Matriano at the University of Cincinnati at that time. With her
guiding hand in this organization I am humbled to stand before you as the 12 th President of
WCCI.
In this conference at Pecs, Hungary, the European Capital of Culture we are gathered together to
give meaning and substance to the conference theme “Defining Democracy, Freedom and
Entrepreneurship in the Context of a Globalized Civil Society.” We are given the mandate that we
must in our presentations, deliberations and discussions strive not only to define these concepts
but to offer some practical strategies that will make education more real, practical and productive
in our own educational career that should be aligned to the WCCI mission of equity, justice and
the universal realization of human rights. Let us join hands in carrying on the mission of WCCI
with a progressive degree of success in each world conference.
I am particularly committed in this conference to engage in a dialogue on the care for Mother
Earth and its impact to the welfare of the Human Family. This commitment stems from the
experience of my family to be part of the rehabilitation of the victims of typhoon happened in my
country last year. It is also the realization that in this age and time there are so many natural
disasters such as typhoons, tsunami, hurricanes, earthquakes and oil spills which need
extraordinary attention and care because of the disastrous impact on the quality of life of the
people which in turn becomes very important in helping globalize a civil society.
Let me close with my sincere wishes that we will have a successful week together and with
devotion to the vision and mission that WCCI stands for. The WCCI 15th World Conference will be
in my hometown of Kaohsiung, Taiwan and I invite all of you to join us in another celebration of
the next 40 years of WCCI.
Thank you [Shieh, Shieh] and Best wishes.
Sincerely,
Vincent Shieh, Ed.D.

Message from the WCCI Executive Director
A Sentimental Journey of 39 Years and 14 World Conferences
At this historic milestone of celebrating the 40th year of WCCI at its 14th World Conference in
Education, I invite you to take this sentimental journey with me and hopefully find out for yourself
how the 39 years and 14 World Conferences of “unbroken” dedication and commitment to WCCI is
an educational experience that you wish to join and willing to integrate as part of your life time
career as a world educator. The Preamble of the WCCI Constitution which is built around the
pillars of equity, social justice, peace and the realization of the universal declaration of human
rights are the guiding lights in my sentimental journey. They are also reflected in the lives of the
WCCI leaders whose service to the organization served as my role models in this sentimental journey. The founders of
WCCI Alice Miel, Louise Berman and Norman Overly are the prime mentors in this journey of mine of 39 years.
The first part of this sentimental journey started in September, 1971 when Betty Reardon (2 nd WCCI Executive
Secretary), my mentor and peace educator introduced me to WCCI during my orientation to a new faculty position at
the City University of New York (CUNY). This WCCI orientation and long lasting friendship with Betty brought her back
to us in this WCCI 14th World Conference as our keynote speaker. Around the middle of September, 1973, I received a
telephone call from Alice Miel, Professor of Curriculum and Instruction, Teachers College, Columbia University, New
York City, Founder and First Executive Secretary of WCCI, inviting me (upon the suggestion of Betty) to a planning
meeting of the 1974 WCCI First World Conference held in the University of Keele, Staffordshire, England. At this
meeting, I was asked to serve as Co-Chair of the Conference Invitation Committee with Norman Overly, one of the
three founders of WCCI. This marked the beginning of the official part of my WCCI sentimental journey and my
continuous involvement and service in all the 14th world conferences of which I am blessed with maintaining a 100%
attendance.
My 39 years sentimental journey with WCCI is a rich tapestry of experience, serving the organization in various
positions which I cherish with pride and humility. As Co-Chair of the Invitation Committee for the first two world
conferences opened an opportunity of networking together with a great number of colleagues who eventually became
my WCCI global friends. Successively and almost effortless I was asked to serve on the following positions in the
WCCI hierarchy, Conference Director of the third WCCI World Conference in the Philippines; Vice President, 19831985; President, 1985-1987; Immediate Past President, 1987-1989, Member of the President’s Council from 1990 Present, Executive Director, 1993-Present. In the 1989 World Conference in the Netherlands I proposed the Alice Miel
Lecture as part of the world conference program. In a surprise move I was asked by the Board of Directors to deliver
the First Alice Miel Lecture at the WCCI Seventh World Conference held in Cairo, Egypt in 1992. This was one of the
highlights of my sentimental journey with WCCI.
The growth and sustainability of WCCI depends on the continuity of a capable leadership. It is important to train the
younger generation for this responsibility. This is being done in including colleagues and our students to the WCCI
world and national conferences and related networking activities. It is a clarion call for all of us to help and continue
mentoring the future leaders of WCCI. This is a responsibility that we should take seriously.
In all these years of active service to WCCI I feel a great sense of accomplishments while at the same time humbled by
the Biblical statement “many are called but few are chosen.” And allow me to extend this message to all of you, my
WCCI friends as we celebrate the 40th year of WCCI. As active members who have the passion and loyalty for our
organization, you have joined the “chosen few.” I hope this historic occasion will provide an opportunity for you to start
your own sentimental journey which hopefully will last for the next 60 years when WCCI celebrates its centennial.
With sincere best wishes.

Message from the WCCI Executive Assistant
A DREAM THAT NEVER WAS: A Personal Reflection
At this WCCI 14th World Conference and the celebration of its 40th year, I wish to share
with you not only a message of HOPE, PEACE AND LOVE but a reflection of what it
means to be a dedicated WCCI member and service provider. I hope this message will
help keep you as one of the devoted WCCI lifelong member.
It was in December 1980 when my aunt and godmother, Dr. Estela Matriano asked me to
assist in the WCCI 3rd World Conference, Tagaytay City, Philippines. The Philippines is my home where I will spend the
rest of my life. I never dreamed that getting involved with WCCI at this 3rd conference was a turning point in my life. It
was the beginning of my 30 year dedicated service to WCCI. I never left it until now and I have no regrets for this
dream that never was became a reality of what it means to be of service to an organization whose vision and mission
was a good match to my ideal of a spiritual life devoted to love for God and fellow human beings. It is a good dream
and I am glad that WCCI gave me the opportunity to make it a reality of a meaningful life.
Thirty years with WCCI have been meaningful and productive for me combining service to the organization with the
opportunities to finish graduate studies at the University of Cincinnati. My WCCI involvement and service since the 3rd
world conference has been a continuous remarkable experience working for the organization in various ways and
capacities. I started with the 3rd conference and since then I was actively involved in the next 11 world conferences,
physically present in seven of them and managing the rest by long distance from the WCCI Secretariat at the
University of Cincinnati due to visa requirements which made me stay in the USA for a certain periods of time. I was
appointed as WCCI Executive Assistant at the eight world conference in Amritsar, India.
Before the WCCI Secretariat was moved to the University of Cincinnati, I had the pleasure and the privilege of working
on WCCI matters with Alice Miel, the founder and first Executive Secretary, Betty Reardon, 2nd Executive Secretary
both at Teachers College, Columbia University, New York City and with Maxine Dunfee, 3 rd Executive Secretary at the
School of Education, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana. The WCCI Secretariat was moved to the College of
Education, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio in 1993 and at the same time Dr. Matriano was asked to assume
the new title of Executive Director.
Serving WCCI as Executive Assistant made me virtually a partner with Dr. Matriano in the operations of the
Secretariat at the University of Cincinnati since 1993. I was appointed as Executive Assistant in 1995 at the 8th
Triennial World Conference in Amritsar, India. In 1996 when the WCCI Treasurer resigned, I was appointed the
Treasurer of WCCI until 2004. In 2002, through the invitation of Dr. K. Donaldson and with the approval of the WCCI
Board of Directors, WCCI moved to Alliant International University. The Shirley M. Hufstedler School of Education
under the leadership of Dean Karen Schuster-Webb became the host institution of WCCI. With the support of Dean
Webb, and Alliant which is an international university, WCCI found its ideal home in San Diego. My 30 years with
WCCI, made me reflect on how much I gained from a world wide experience. It must be my destiny to leave home,
serve WCCI for many years, and help carry out its WCCI message of peace and social justice which made me realize a
“DREAM THAT NEVER WAS.”
Thank you for reading my WCCI story and for the friendship you all have extended to me which I value most
profoundly. Let us continue our shared life of service to WCCI.

Message from the WCCI Founding Committee and Past President
Remembrances of Things Past
Norman Overly
Founder and WCCI President
1988-1990
The forty years since the first international education conference at
Asilomar in California seem to pass more quickly each year. WCCI has
continued to grow and change in marvelous and mysterious ways.
From the onset we have labored heartily to bring together groups of
educators and supporters of education to explore together our
understandings of how best to address the concerns and issues of
world cooperation and mutual support in personal ways. In the process
we have faced many issues that have confronted humankind since
history began. Issues of racism, religious sensitivities, national interests
Norm and Jane
and economic inequality are but a few of them. Each venue of the
2001 Madrid Conference
conferences over the years has provided an opportunity to explore
unique cultural and social issues in a local setting. One of the most memorable for me was the time we
spent in Madrid that coincided with the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York City by the
terrorists flying commercial airplanes. The manner in which the conferees joined together in prayers and
memorial statements was a moving international expression of our oneness in the world. Another
memorable time was the meeting in Hiroshima, Japan at the time of the Atomic Bomb Memorial service in
August 1986. But no matter what the setting or the situation, each conference has provided the participants
with a wealth of memories and stimulation for involvement in action in our individual settings, whether at
work or, as in my case, in retirement.
I wish to encourage each of you participating in the Hungary conference to open yourself to the situation,
experience the moment and grow from the opportunities that are afforded you, both in the formal program
and in the incidental events of your visit to Budapest. I congratulate Sandor Klein for his perseverance over
the years from 1970 to the present which has resulted in Hungary being the host for the 2010 conference. I
am sure that Sandor had little thought of such a possibility when he was invited to participate in the Asilomar
Conference. Let me encourage those of you who are new to WCCI this year to imagine what you might do
to help advance the goals and objectives of this important confluence of educators. Each of you has
something to contribute and strengths that need to be nurtured and advanced in the interest of making
peace a reality in our time. Jeanne and I are sorry that we are unable to join you. We did have an
opportunity to visit Hungary a few years ago. Because of that we are confident that you are in a great setting
with many sources of information and experiences to enlarge your own education. Each generation has its
challenges and opportunities. Our prayer is that you will realize some aspects of your own goals each day
as you dedicate yourself to the purposes of your time together.

Message from the WCCI Founding Committee and Past President
Forty years ago on the shores of the Pacific Ocean at
Asilomar, California, persons from around the world
gathered to discuss educational issues. The conference
was so intense, and the participants so committed to the
improvement of curricular thinking and practice that
from those meetings emerged the World Conference for Curriculum and Instruction.
Unfortunately, in 1970 the political situation was such that persons from certain
countries were not permitted to attend. But happily the spirit of WCCI knows no
political or geographic boundaries, and I am indeed delighted that Pecs, Hungary is
hosting meetings celebrating 40 years of WCCI. My only regret is that I am not with
you for this wonderful occasion.
I hope this convocation provides fresh insights, creative questioning, and plans for
fruitful future action. May you return to your own dwellings, institutions, and
countries with conceptions of democracy and entrepreneurship appropriate to the
settings of which you are part.
My gratitude to Sandor Klein and to all those who helped plan and implement this
gathering. May you as conference participants garner a new network of friends
dedicated to exploring the meaning of education for a more compassionate and
friendly world.
And do not forget to have some fun!

Message from the WCCI International Conference Director
Dear WCCI Participants.
Welcome to my country, Hungary.
Welcome to the WCCI 14th World Conference and the 40th year celebration. As
Conference Director to this important milestone of WCCI I wish you all a pleasant and
enjoyable experience in Pécs, the 2010 European Capital of Culture.
This WCCI world conference is dedicated to the theme, “Defining Democracy,
Freedom and Entrepreneurship in the Context of a Globalized Civil Society.” If we want
humankind to survive, we need to find new ways to solve our conflicts. Education has
to play a major role in establishing a new generation, for which democracy is a natural
element of life, freedom to learn (and learning to be free) is a birthright and
everybody will be an entrepreneur (somebody, who is open to discover new
territories, and ready to make the extra effort to establish something that is lasting
and worthwhile).
It is my hope that your educational experience in this conference will be of value when
you return to your respective countries. At the same time let us continue to network
and make our joint educational efforts on going until the next conference.

Message from the 2010 WCCI International Conference Program Chairperson
Welcome, WCCI Friends!
Welcome to the WCCI 14th World Conference in Education!
I have been with the WCCI since 1999 and I have always looked
forward to the conferences. The eye opening first-hand accounts
of dedicated educators from all over the world simply inspire me and help me
refocus on what is truly important. As we join in further discussions, exemplars, and
heroic efforts this year, I hope this conference will prove enlightening and uplifting.
We have spent several months carefully planning the flow of the program to make
sure that this will be a truly enriching academic and cultural experience for our
WCCI family.
Our focus for this conference is democracy, freedom, and entrepreneurship. These
ideals are basic to the future. Though intertwined and complex, careful study and
inventive ideas are needed. How do we show the way? How do we design schools
and learning activities that inculcate the values we hold dear? Our conference
presenters offer an excellent compilation of possibilities. Please be sure to attend as
many presentation sessions as possible.
As the program chairperson, reading through the presentation proposals was both
humbling and thrilling. Your willingness to join us here in Hungary to share your
voice is impressive. Our sharing with each other creates expanded perspectives. We
are engaging in this important discussion on how to make democracy, freedom, and
entrepreneurship real. To have this diversity of visionaries come together with a
unified mission in a world-wide forum, what could be better?
Thank you to the University of Pécs and the City of Pécs for hosting this conference
and for their hospitality.
May this be a most empowering conference for all of us!

Information about WCCI
PURPOSE OF THE ORGANIZATION
WCCI is a transnational educational organization committed to advancing the achievement of a
just and peaceful world community. It is a Non-governmental Organization (NGO) of the United
Nations. It promotes person-to-person contacts and professional relationships.
WCCI encourages and facilitates collaboration in curriculum and instruction projects, dialogue in
global educational and social issues, exchange of ideas, concerns and solutions to problems, and
learning from one another cross-culturally and transnationally.
ALICE MIEL, FOUNDER OF WCCI
Born in Six Lakes, Michigan, Alice Miel was a former elementary and secondary school teacher,
principal, and curriculum coordinator. She spent most of her professional career as a Professor
in the Department of Curriculum and Teaching at Teachers College, Columbia University, New
York. She held teaching and consulting positions in Japan, Uganda, Tanzania, and Afghanistan.
Alice Miel generously gave her wisdom, hospitality, financial resources, vision, and caring to all
aspects of the organization. She served as a link with its parent organization, the Association for
Supervision and Curriculum Development having served as co-chair of the world role in drafting
the constitution, which helped created WCCI. Alice was a founder of WCCI.
Alice’s life was characterized by a vision of diversity of peoples united by common principles and
purposes. Her writing, teaching, and organizational work all had themes of education’s role in
promoting cooperation among persons of the world. She devoted her whole life to enhancing
the learning achievement of children and the development of values such as equity, human
rights, and democracy. With her interest in achieving peace on a global scale, she encouraged
overall multi-dimensional and diversified approaches to curriculum and instruction, and linked
these with the values specific to each person and each country by promoting inter-country
transfer of experience and cooperation. She kept the vision of mobilizing WCCI on the level of
persons as resources. Recognized around the world for her humanitarian interests, Alice
received the National Education Association’s Committee on Human Rights Award, the Teachers
College, Columbia University Medal for Distinguished Service, and kappa Delta Pi’s election to its
Laureate Chapter.
The above excerpts were taken from memorial tributes by Louise
Berman and Shigekazu Takemura, past-Presidents of WCCI,
printed in WCCI Newsletter, 30.
