Local and indigenous knowledge in education for sustainable development - ESD-NET 2030 learning webinar

This session on local and indigenous knowledge in education for sustainable development (ESD) will explore how traditional and cultural practices and community-based approaches are integrated into teaching and learning to foster environmental stewardship, social equity, and resilience among present and future generations in Africa and Latin America and the Caribbean.

Indigenous people hold valuable knowledge, values and practices that represent a great diversity and richness of living heritage, which should be preserved and valued. The transmission of local and indigenous knowledge plays both an essential role in safeguarding intangible cultural heritage (ICH) and in promoting education for sustainable development in communities. 

The learning webinars will focus on providing concrete and practical ESD activities in line with the five priority action areas outlined in the ESD for 2030 Roadmap:
 
1) advancing policy
2) transforming learning environments
3) building capacities of educators
4) empowering and mobilizing youth
5) accelerating local level actions
