Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is important because it teaches us how to take care of the planet and each other. It helps us learn ways to protect the environment, reduce poverty, and make sure future generations have a good life too. Examples of ESD in Action • School Projects: Recycling programs, energy- saving initiatives, community gardens. • Curriculum Integration: Including sustainability topics in subjects like science, geography, and social studies. • Community Engagement: Partnerships between schools and local communities to promote sustainability. How Can You Contribute? • Personal Actions: Reduce, reuse, recycle, and adopt sustainable habits. • Education and Advocacy: Share knowledge about sustainability with others. • Involvement: Participate in local sustainability projects and initiatives. Education is the Key to Quality Life.

Focus on simple concepts like recycling, nature exploration, and the basics of caring for the environment through stories and games. • Primary School: Introduce more structured activities like school gardens, environmental projects, and lessons on how everyday actions impact the planet. Use interactive lessons and discussions. In terms of level of teaching, we have to adopt different strategies: • Secondary School: Incorporate critical thinking and problem- solving activities. Engage students in research projects, debates on sustainability issues, and community involvement to address real-world challenges. • Higher Education: Focus on in- depth analysis and interdisciplinary approaches. Encourage students to undertake research, participate in policy discussions, and work on practical solutions for complex sustainability issues. What can schools do in order to save the planet? Implementing the concept of sustainability in school curricula, involving teachers, students, parents, and communities, associating formal and non- formal education. The community, in and out of the school, meets to discuss the theme and to build eco-political projects in schools, attaching education and sustainability. The result is the construction of an eco-school. • Apart from building environmental awareness, and positive environmental attitudes and values, it also needs to be refl ected in the day-to-day running of the school, in the non-formal curriculum or hidden curriculum. • A curriculum that promotes ESD m ust continuously be reviewed to address the new environmental, social, and economic crisis. • It must also involve the school pop ulation, not only the students.
