The Centre for Environmental Education and Research (CEER) at the University of Malta is organising a Symposium on the National Strategy of Education for Sustainable Development in Malta on 11 and 12 March at the Auditorium, University of Malta, Valletta Campus, St Paul Street, Valletta.
The National Strategy of Education for Sustainable development is based on the principles of ESD as defined by the major UN and regional events. It hence acknowledges that every citizen has a valid contribution to make towards the achievement of a sustainable society. It therefore seeks, as outlined by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Strategy, to 'equip people with knowledge of and skills in sustainable development, making them more competent and confident and increasing their opportunities for acting for a healthy and productive life in harmony with nature and with concern for social values, gender equity and cultural diversity'. This implies that every citizen is an actor in the process of ESD and that ESD can be conveyed through various means.
The registration form and a draft programme are available online.
