Integrating the Global in the Local: Education for Sustainable Development in Municipal Settings.
European Center on Sustainable Development/Canadian Institute of Technology Rom "11th International Conference on Sustainable Development 2023." 07.09.2023
Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is key and tool for promoting and understanding social, economic, cultural and ecological sustainability and acting therefore. This has to happen where people live, work and learn: municipalities and their educational landscapes are key to disseminating and promoting ESD. The ESD Competence Centre, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, pursues two main objectives: The first goal of the project is to support 48 model municipalities in integrating already existing and future ESD activities into their local educational landscapes. The second goal is to conduct empirical research in order to use the results for optimizing local processes in the educational landscape as well as for practical support by our team of process facilitators. In this contribution, I want to highlight key learnings from both areas and emphasize the importance of promoting ESD on a local level in order to facilitate Sustainable Development.
