Education for Sustainable Development – a shared vision and common approaches from Germany, India, Mexico, and South Africa

The United Nations declared 2005-2014 a decade of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in order to promote the paradigm shift towards sustainable development by educational means. ESD recognizes that it is impossible to achieve sustainable development without appropriate education, training and public awareness. The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) in cooperation with Engagement Global are implementing a capacity development programme that aims at improving the implementation of ESD in Germany, India, Mexico, and South Africa.

What is unique about this programme? The core element of the programme is our ESD expert network. The global dimension of sustainable development requires an international approach based on shared visions and the common search for creative solutions. We invite you to share with us the ideas, trainings and materials we jointly developed.
