MOTTO FOR THE DAY?

“Education for Sustainable development (ESD) is a vision that aims to inclusively empower all people to take charge, cooperate and create a sustainable future. ESD particularly maintains the importance of culture and society in the transition towards a sustainable future.”UNESCO DESD website ESD is trans-disciplinary in orientation, viewing every subject as having an important contribution and perspective to bring to the field. In HE its focus ranges across sustainable economies, resilient communities, business innovation, graduate employability and enhanced life opportunities for all people.

Building Bridges – cross sectoral collaboration and stakeholder engagement Tackling Systems – initiatives to work across and between institutions Developing Tools – articulation of principles and creation of frameworks INTERDISCIPLINARY ESD: INSIGHTS, MOMENTUM, FUTURES
