"The orientating utopia that must guide our steps consists in achieving that the whole world converges on a better understanding, a better sense of responsibility and a greatest solidarity, accepting all the spiritual and cultural differences.

When everybody can gain access to knowledge, education plays a very concrete role in the fulfilment of this universal task: it helps to understand the world and the other human beings, in order to understand oneself better." Report to the UNESCO from the International Commission on Education for the 21st Century, headed by Jacques Delors (1996)
