SUMMARY:How We Come Together: Conversations Inspired by Van Jones

SUMMARY:Webinar: Education 2030 and the Future of ESD
DESCRIPTION:With the Global Action Programme (GAP) on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) coming to an end in 2019\, now is the time to look to the future.  In a series of intensive brainstorming symposia and a review of current ESD work\, UNESCO has drafted a position paper on the future of ESD\, welcoming public comment through November 9.  By reflecting on the value of ESD and the GAP and drilling down into each of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)\, participants have identified how education is necessary to achieve all of the SDGs. As a “driver” for the SDGs\, education should be front and center\, as it is necessary to educate across all sectors and disciplines\, in a variety of formal\, nonformal\, and informal educational modalities. \nAs a higher education envoy for UN University\, AASHE\, SCC\, and the US Partnership for ESD\, presenter Kim Smith will guide a review of the recommendations and invite feedback.  Come learn about UNESCO’s proposal\, how these lessons emerged and how your work helps advance the SDGs. ESD in action is citizenship in action. \nTo register\, go to:  http://curriculumforsustainability.org/upcoming-webinars-cohorts/
