Comme Vous Voulez
A pedagogical and documentary tool on sustainable construction in
Europe. It includes a DVD presenting two films on sustainable
architecture and town planning: one concerns BEDZED, an experimental
ecological neighbourhood in a suburb of London, and the other concerns
FREIBOURG-EN-BRISGAU, a German town that chose sustainable town
planning (which created 10,000 jobs in sectors such as the environment,
waste management, and energy). The sustainable development bookstore
(librairie du développement durable) offers many publications on
this theme, such as pedagogical, playful, and documentary products on
their website.

 The Australian
Research Institute in Education for Sustainability has released
a new series of reports that question how we effectively educate for
sustainability. Each volume reviews a specific sector and identifies
gaps and needs in Environmental Education so that they can be
strategically addressed for the future. The issues covered make
compelling reading for all those involved in the design and delivery of
Environmental Education which includes policy makers, funding bodies,
educators and researchers.
The five part series covers the following areas:
Volume 1: Frameworks for Sustainability
Volume 2: School Education
Volume 3: Community Education
Volume 4: Business and Industry Education
Volume 5: Further and Higher Education
The research for this series was conducted by ARIES for the Australian
Government Department of the Environment and Heritage.
PDF copies of the full reports are available at the ARIES website: http://www.aries.mq.edu.au/project.htm
The Guidelines and
Recommendations for Reorienting Teacher Education to Address
Sustainability prepared by the UNITWIN/UNESCO Chair on

University, Toronto) and the International Network of Teacher-Education
Institutions have just been published by UNESCO in the series
“Education for Sustainable Development in Action”; Technical Paper no.2
– 2005 / UNESCO Education Sector.
This document makes recommendations in a number of areas that are
crucial to the success of reorienting teacher education to address
sustainability, including:
• Ministerial and national level involvement
• Community and regional/provincial involvement
• Changes within institutions of higher education
• Funding and other resources
• Partnerships
• Research
• Communications
• Information Technology Opportunities
