Description
“There are over 60 million teachers in the world – and each one is a key agent for bringing about the changes in lifestyles and systems we need. For this reason, innovative teacher education is an important part of education for a sustainable future.” (UNESCO, n.d.)
The course aims to equip educators with the tools and knowledge on how to incorporate sustainable development in education. Making the shift in education towards valuing sustainability is essential in terms of raising generations that will take action and be the driving force for environmental integrity, and economic viability with respect to cultural diversity. The course will enable learners to address present and future global challenges constructively and creatively and to create more sustainable and resilient communities.

Methodology & assessment
The methodology of the training course includes a learner-centred approach and a focus on enhancing continuous personal development. The aim of the training is not to produce ready-made solutions (passive learning), but to inspire the participants to search creatively for knowledge and effective solutions, which are connected to their needs and challenges (active learning). In this way, the participants take responsibility for their own learning process and act as active partners in the training.
Attention will be given to how to implement the findings and skills in real daily working situations after the training course. Methods such as debate, pair and group work, and individual practical exercises will be used throughout the course.
Assessment of the course combines formal and non-formal assessment methods such as self-evaluation at the end of the course and formal evaluation forms provided by the organisation.
