Making Connections through Learning for Sustainability

Published 19/10/2021.  Last updated 29/02/2024

Understanding the big issues that shape our world has never been more important. Issues like climate change, health, gender equality, poverty and how to live sustainably affect – and connect – us all: wherever we are in the world.

Aligned with Scotland’s education priorities and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, this online professional learning will support you to think about, plan for, and implement, Learning for Sustainability in your own practice and in your teaching context. You will make connections at individual, institutional and global levels, inspiring you and your learners to develop the confidence, skills, knowledge, values and attitudes we all need to thrive and create positive change in our increasingly interconnected world.

You will be invited to participate in online discussions and activities in five course modules. You will be supported by skilled facilitators with a background in Learning for Sustainability and online learning and do not need any advanced technical expertise to take part.

Engagement in this course will:

  • support you to create an enabling environment for Learning for Sustainability in your teaching and setting, and significantly enhance young people's educational experience
  • inform your own professional development
  • support whole setting and cluster approaches
  • give access to an international network of like-minded teachers.

The programme is open to all 3-18 years teachers, educators in nursery, primary, secondary and ASN schools and colleges across Scotland.

This is a 10-week programme, with the opportunity to continue for a further 10 months to progress towards achieving GTCS Professional Recognition in Learning for Sustainability.
