Part two: workshops

Sustainability is development that meets

the needs of the present generation

without compromising therefore the

possibilities for development of the next

generation (Brundlant 1987)

Education for sustainability in our

schools/university-colleges

ES is not in the Belgian

curriculum

• but should be integrated into the different

subjects,

• it can be also included in themes or projects

about environmental school

= It is more than that

• children learn to look at a problem or dilemma

from a certain view

• MOS = milieu op school

sustainability at school

• A challange for the whole schoolteam

TO DO! (DIGITAL LEARNING MATERIAL)

• Provide a classroom/ school activity

your target group / age / developmental level

=

– early childhood education

– primary school

– secondary school

Goal of the workshop

creating an exercise with an

exciting challenge

– coming up with creative solutions

– stimulating research attitude

– developing interesting ideas

= Involvement

= close to reality

Take care…….

• Do not take everything at once

• Invest long- term vision

• Broad support (Not only teachers and

children but also parents, cleaning staff,

administration… direction)

• Examples: • We want a low-waste school

• we want to get the energy consumption down

• we want a real green school

• ………..

3 P’s

• Linking the three P’s (profit, people,

planet) makes the children/students to

realise the essence of sustainability,

Didactic principles
