ESD Forum
Thursday, 28 November 2019
The National Strategy on Education for Sustainable Development 2014 - 2020 highlights the need to integrate Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in the curriculum from pre-school up to senior cycle. The National Strategy aims to ensure that education contributes to sustainable development by equipping learners with the relevant knowledge (the 'what'), the key dispositions and skills (the 'how') and the values (the 'why') that will motivate and empower them throughout their lives to become informed active citizens who take action for a more sustainable future.
The annual Forum considers the progress being made in this National Strategy. This year's event is running at Dublin Castle with the keynote address being given by Ms Mary Robinson, former President of Ireland.
