Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)
- What if every person benefited from an education promoting development that is environmentally sound, socially equitable, culturally sensitive and economically just?
- What if learning was about knowledge and also about doing, being, interacting with others and changing the world?
- What if formal learning was enjoyable, hands-on and relevant to life outside school while addressing the problems of our world?
- What if every person benefited from genuine learning opportunities throughout life, in the workplace, and within the community?
- What if education systems prepared learners to enter the workforce as well as handle a crisis, be resilient, become responsible citizens, adapt to change, recognize and solve local problems with global roots, meet other cultures with respect, and create a peaceful and sustainable society?
Then we would be educating for a more sustainable future.
If this is also your vision of Education for the 21st century, then join us in the great endeavour of Education for Sustainable Development.
