Framework for education for sustainability : enhancing competences in education

Abstract

The project ‘Schools Educating for Sustainability: Proposals for and from inservice teacher education’ aims to contribute to teacher education for sustainability (EduS) in different European countries, to reach the EU level goals for a more sustainable society (European Commission, 2019). The project’s goal is to develop new initiatives addressing teachers’ and teacher educators’ professional learning – promoting innovation and social inclusion through the exchange of experience and know-how in an open education format. It thus aims to contribute to sustainability and to produce EduS guidelines, as well as to make said guidelines understandable, for teachers in each partner country. Educators will be supported through project actions that focus on promoting more inclusive and equitable educational practices for sustainable education and improving expertise around the versatile use of technology in teaching and learning— along with promoting development that more effectively preserves the environment.
