This book examines the implementation of Education for Sustainable
Development (ESD) programs in schools across Europe. It describes
and analyzes how individual countries and the region as a whole
have established teaching and learning methods to help students
develop the competencies needed to be part of a sustainable
society. Featuring chapters written by experts throughout Europe,
the book first provides a general overview of ESD in various
contexts, including the state-of-the-art of ESD theory and
conceptual development; political and social analysis; the various
concepts of ESD competencies; and teacher training. Next, the book
details how ESD has been implemented in different European
countries and regions, including: Sweden, Italy, Germany, Austria,
Switzerland, Catalonia, Hungary, Finland, Norway, Denmark,
Flanders, France, Cyprus, UK and the Netherlands. In recognition of
education as a motor of change, the United Nations General Assembly
declared a Decade of Education for Sustainable Development
(2005-2014), calling for the integration of sustainable development
into all aspects of education and learning. Inside this book,
readers will find details on what has been done, as well as
assessments of what more could be done, across Europe. It will help
readers gain valuable insights into how to help students develop
the knowledge, skills and values needed to shape a sustainable
future.
