Education for Climate TALKS of the month
Advice to policy makers: “Regenerate teaching capacity”, ft. Dr. Jos Eussen
“Teachers should become again masters of education and not soldiers of schooling"…
Listen to Dr. Jos Eussen from the Netherlands, researcher and academic at Maastricht university, long-time professional involved in sustainable education, initiator and lead of the The OPEDUCA Project.
In that very inspiring Talk, Jos invites us to think out of the box and calls policy makers to “regenerate teaching capacity”. There is indeed a very fine line between sustainability in education and transformation in education.
Greening education with UNESCO, ft. Won Jung Byun
Are all learners in education systems getting access to climate education? For the lucky ones who get that access, do they receive a qualitative and relevant climate education, giving them the right competences for the challenges they will have to face?
These are two main questions of our times, as Won Jung Byun, policy specialist at UNESCO, puts it.
Learn more about the Greening Education partnership put in place by UNESCO that tries to give an answer to these important questions
