Tags education sustainable development foresight

Sustainable development means development in which the impact of humanity on the environment does not go beyond the natural possibilities of nature. The most important tool for sustainable development is education, as noted by the UN, UNESCO, the European Economic Commission and other international organizations. The scientific novelty of the project is to substantiate the education system for sustainable development at the international, national and institutional levels on the basis of foresight.

A series of articles, as well as a monograph “Education for Sustainable Development in action” are planned for publication.

Objectives of the project

To substantiate theoretically, design and verify the concept of continuing education for sustainable development, including:

  • mechanisms for the transfer of expert scientific knowledge into the practice of education for sustainable development;
  • approaches to the technologization of theoretical models of education for sustainable development;
  • tools for ensuring integration and continuity of education for sustainable development in the system of formal, non-formal
    and informal education.
