Get Feed- Description
-
“Education for Sustainable Development is a lifelong process from early childhood to higher and adult education and goes beyond formal education. As values, lifestyles and attitudes are established from an early age, the role of education is of particular importance for children. Since learning takes place as we take on different roles in our lives, Education for Sustainable Development has to be considered as a "life-wide" process. It should permeate learning programmes at all levels, including vocational education, training for educators, and continuing education for professionals and decision makers.”
The innovative elements of the selected practices cover several types of innovation:
Innovation in the content includes innovative topics being addressed which range from issues linked to globalisation, including human rights and north-south relations, to healthier lifestyles, including healthy eating, to efficient energy consumption and promotion of renewable energy;
Innovation in the delivery method includes innovative ways to forge multi-stakeholder approaches and to create a sense of ownership among pupils, families, teachers, decision makers and experts, and innovative ways of delivering the educational process by promoting participatory and interactive learning approaches and the use of new technology

Innovation in forging new partnerships and networks for the purpose of sharing knowledge and experience, fostering communication and exchange of experiences;
Innovation at the institutional level with sustainable development being main streamed in the curriculum for education or with activities aimed at raising awareness on the necessity to implement education for sustainable development; and,
Innovation in addressing sustainable development with a focus on ensuring a strong interdisciplinary approach in addressing the interrelated social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainable development.
