This document discusses Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). ESD aims to educate people about sustainable development issues and engage them in finding solutions. It is based on principles of learning to know, be, live together, do, and transform oneself and society. ESD emerged from conferences in the 1970s and was further developed in the 1992 Earth Summit. The UN designated 2005-2014 as the Decade of ESD. ESD is important because the world population is growing while resources are limited, so education is needed to address environmental, social, and economic challenges. ESD involves formal education systems as well as non-formal and informal learning to educate people of all ages.
There is global recognition of Education as a tool for Sustainable Development (ESD). Quality education can help improve livelihoods of the people and more so People with disability.
ECO-UNESCO's Seminar Series: Exploring Good Practice in Education for Sustainable Development
Presentation by Elaine Nevin, ECO-UNESCO's National Director, on Education for Sustainable Development.
About this presentation:
In October 2009, ECO-UNESCO held the seminar Exploring Good Practice in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). The seminar allowed participants to engage with organisations and initiatives which are leading in the field of Education for Sustainable Development in Ireland and internationally.
The keynote speaker Andy Griggs (Environmental Education Forum) gave a presentation on Good Practice in Education for Sustainable Development. ECO-UNESCO's National Director, Elaine Nevin, opened the day with a presentation on Education for Sustainable Development.
Life on earth is always dependent on Nature. From the very inception of a living phenomena, Nature has sustained life, including human life.
Sustainable development, in general, refers to the process of socio-economic development through a judicious utilization of nature’s resources, keeping in view the needs of future generations.
When we talk of sustainable development in relation to education per se we must be clear in our mind the concept, scope and application of terms like sustainability, development and also education.

Education For Sustainable Development London4 All of Us
This conference brought together educationalists, NGOs, Estate Directors and employers to promote and share good subject based and interdisciplinary practice across a wide range of areas, from both the natural sciences and the social sciences. It also showcased ideas and projects from leading NGOs and businesses which are working towards sustainability goals.
Transformation of higher education is a vital part of the efforts to envision and enact a more sustainable future. Not only are higher education institutions large and complex organizations that can themselves become more sustainable, they are also the place where future leaders have the learning experiences that will shape their professional lives. Universities, polytechnics and colleges around the world are responding to the challenges of sustainable development through innovations in facilities and operations, formal curricula, and student life activities. This talk will highlight examples of how higher education institutions are promoting education for sustainability, with an emphasis on institutions in Southeast Asia. It will also discuss where the greatest challenges and opportunities for improvement remain to provide higher education for sustainability.

Global Education and Development Process.pptxDrHafizKosar
Global education is an approach to learning that equips students with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to thrive in an interconnected and interdependent world. It goes beyond traditional education by:
• Focusing on understanding the world's interconnectedness and diversity;
This includes examining global issues like climate change, poverty, and human rights from multiple perspectives.
• Developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills:
Students learn to analyze complex information, make informed decisions, and take action on global challenges.
• Promoting empathy and intercultural understanding:
Global education encourages students to appreciate different cultures and perspectives, and to build relationships with people from around the world.
Key Concepts of Global Education:
• Interconnectedness:
Understanding how local actions have global consequences and how global events impact local communities.
• Diversity:
Appreciating the richness and variety of cultures, perspectives, and experiences around the world.
• Sustainability:
Recognizing the need to protect the environment and ensure a livable future for all.
• Social justice:
Working to create a more equitable and just world for everyone.
• Peace and conflict resolution:
Learning to resolve conflicts peacefully and constructively.
Benefits of Global Education:
• Prepares students for the 21st century:
In today's interconnected world, it is more important than ever for students to understand and interact with people from different cultures.
• Develops critical thinking and problem-solving skills:
Global education challenges students to think critically about complex issues and to find creative solutions.
• Promotes empathy and intercultural understanding:
By learning about different cultures, students develop empathy and understanding for others, which can help to build a more peaceful world.
• Prepares students for global careers:
In today's global economy, there is a growing demand for workers with international experience and skills.Global education can be implemented in a variety of ways, including:
• Integrating global themes into traditional subjects:
For example, a math teacher might use data from around the world to teach about statistics, or a history teacher might compare and contrast different countries' responses to climate change.
• Project-based learning:
Students can work on projects that address global issues, such as designing a sustainable city or creating a campaign to raise awareness about a human rights issue.
• Study abroad programs:
Spending time studying or volunteering in another country can be a transformative experience that helps students develop a global perspective.
• Technology:
Online platforms and virtual exchange programs can connect students with peers from around the world to collaborate on projects and learn from each other.

Global Education Importance, Purposes, and the Role of the UN and States.pdfAdilJaved51
Global Education refers to an educational approach that transcends national borders and fosters an understanding of global issues, intercultural competence, and a sense of global citizenship.
United Nations Secretary General in his speech at UN General Assembly asked “I regard myself as a lifelong student…Without education, where would I be? Where would any of us be?”
Because education transforms lives, economies and societies, “we must transform education”.
It aims to equip individuals with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to engage with global challenges, promote sustainable development, and contribute to a more inclusive and interconnected world.
In this article, we will explore the importance and purposes of global education, as well as the role of the United Nations (UN) and various states in promoting it.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Education for sustainable development
1. Education for Sustainable Development
Presented by:
Siddiqur Rehman.
Authored by: Rupam Roy & Siddiqur Rehman
2. Education for Sustainable Development
Educated parents send their children to school; elementary education leads to
perpetuation of benefits from one generation to another. Education for Sustainable
Development (ESD) is simultaneously a sub-field of education and a conceptual tool to aid
policy makers in authoring educational policies that take into account the present
environmental, societal and economic challenges.
According to the UNESCO, it is based on all levels and types of learning - learning
to know, learning to be, learning to live together, learning to do and learning to transform
oneself and society.”
ESD can be seen as the total sum of diverse ways to arrive at a ‘learning society’
in which people learn from and with one another and collectively become more capable of
withstanding setbacks and dealing with sustainability-induced insecurity, complexity and
risks.
ESD is about - through education and learning - engaging people in sustainable
development issues, developing their capacities to give meaning to SD and to contribute to
its development and utilizing the diversity represented by all people - including those who
have been or feel marginalized - in generating innovative solutions to SD challenges and
crisis.”
3. Emergence of Education for Sustainable Development
Roots of ESD can be traced back to the early 1970s
United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED),
also known as the Earth Summit, held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992
From 1987 to 1992, the concept of sustainable development matured as
committees discussed, negotiated, and wrote the 40 chapters of Agenda 21.
The Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) was created in December
1992 to ensure effective follow-up of UNCED and to monitor and report on
implementation of the agreements at international, regional, national and local
levels
The decade 2005-2014 has been designated the United Nations Decade of
Education for Sustainable Development.
4. ESD in India
Traditionally India has been a sustainable society. A large part of the Indian population still
has a lifestyle that is based on the principle of reuse, reduce and recycle. In some cases it is
a matter of personal choice but for a large majority, it is necessitated by economic
compulsions.
The Government of India (GOI) has integrated the principle of ‘sustainability’ in its various
policies and developmental programmes. India’s developmental strategic framework is
based on a five year planning system.
The GOI recommended Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) to integrate
environmental concerns into all aspects and levels of education.
India is the only country to have passed one of the landmark judgments passed by the
Supreme Court of the country directing all education boards to include environmental
education (EE) as part of the formal education system at all levels.
Centre for Environment Education (CEE) which is the nodal agency for implementing
UNDESD in India; The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI); Bharati Vidya Peeth (BVP);
Centre for Science and Environment (CSE); World Wide fund (WWF); National Council for
Science Museums (NSCM) and National Council of Education, Research and Training
(NCERT) are notable bodies promoting ESD.
5. Why ESD?
According to the 2010 State of the World Report (published by The Worldwatch
Institute), the Ecological Footprint Indicator, which compares impact of human actions
on the ecology with natural resources available to supply key ecosystem services,
shows that humanity now uses the resources and services of 1.3 Earths.
It is estimated that by 2050, the human population will be 9.07 billion of which 62 per
cent of the people will live in Africa, Southern and Eastern Asia.
Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) therefore is an important pedagogical
tool as it is based on the fundamental principle of making an individual see and
recognize the interdependence between human beings and each and every unit of
ecology.
It is only right that development in this new century be even more conscious of its long-
term impact. The problems are complex and the choices difficult. Our common future
can only be achieved with a better understanding of our common concerns and shared
responsibilities.
6. Thresholds of Education and Sustainability
The relationship between education and sustainable development is complex.
Generally, research shows that basic education is key to a nation's ability to
develop and achieve sustainability targets. Research has shown that education
can improve agricultural productivity, enhance the status of women, reduce
population growth rates, enhance environmental protection, and generally raise
the standard of living.
Another educational threshold is primary education for women. At least a
primary education is required before birth rate drops and infant health and
children's education improve.
Subtle combination of higher education, research, and life-long learning is
necessary for a nation to shift to an information or knowledge-based economy,
which is fuelled less by imported technology and more by local innovation and
creativity.
7. Challenges for ESD
To train local communities in non- formal sector and teachers in formal sectors requires
more time as the term “sustainable development” is not common and well-understood by
the communities. Some aspects of environment are provided in the national curriculum, but
the approach is not coherent and does not cover the wider range of sustainable
development.
To develop local capacities and demonstrate sustainable development principles in action
through an integrated approach, incorporating gender sensitive social, economic and
environment linkages.
To develop partnerships amongst the major stakeholder organizations (central
governments, local governments, NGOs and CBOs) and to reinvent their roles so that
CBOs (Community-based Organizations) function as planners and implementers of their
own sustainable development program.
To demonstrate viable options for sustenance and adaptation of sustainable development
approaches.
To document and disseminate knowledge from successful experiences and to link the use
of local knowledge to support district and national level sustainable development policies.
8. Promote research and development of ESD
There is a need for research and development activities in different areas of
ESD, such as effective learning methods, evaluation tools, formation of attitudes
and values, school/institutional development and implementation of ICT
(Information and communication Technology) .
Results of research and development efforts should be shared with actors
locally, regionally and globally, and incorporated into different parts of the
education system.
The content of ESD and teaching and learning methods; the economic effects of
and incentives for ESD; ways of including aspects of SD and their local context in
different subjects, giving priority to research that brings together the different
dimensions of SD; indicators and evaluation instruments for ESD; and share the
results of research and examples of good practices.
High quality information is essential for promoting ESD. Formal and non-formal
ESD along with civic education is fundamental in developing respect for nature
and an understanding of cultural values.
9. Formal, Non-formal, and Informal Education
For a community or a nation, implementing ESD is a huge task. Fortunately, formal
education does not carry this educational responsibility alone. The non formal
educational sector (e.g., nature centers, nongovernmental organizations, public
health educators, and agricultural extension agents) and the informal educational
sector (e.g., local television, newspaper, and radio) of the educational community
must work cooperatively with the formal educational sector for the education of
people in all generations and walks of life.
Because ESD is a lifelong process, the formal, non formal, and informal
educational sectors should work together to accomplish local sustainability goals. In
an ideal world, the three sectors would divide the enormous task of ESD for the
entire population by identifying target audiences from the general public as well as
themes of sustainability. They would then work within their mutually agreed upon
realms. This division of effort would reach a broader spectrum of people and
prevent redundant efforts.
10. ESD is more than a knowledge base related to environment, economy, and
society. It also addresses learning skills, perspectives, and values that guide and
motivate people to seek sustainable livelihoods, participate in a democratic
society, and live in a sustainable manner.
Knowledge, skills, perspectives, values, and issues must all be addressed in a
formal curriculum that has been reoriented to address sustainability.
Conclusion and way ahead
