Sustainability Education Forum

The Sustainability Education Forum is a collaborative space within our MOOC where educators and youth organizations exchange ideas, share best practices, and discuss real-life sustainability challenges.

Free speech

English language

To ensure clear and inclusive communication, all discussions in the forum should be in English. This allows educators and youth organizations from different countries to exchange ideas effectively and collaborate without language barriers. Let’s create a shared space where everyone can participate, learn, and contribute to sustainability education.

The Sustainability Education Forum is an interactive space within our MOOC platform where educators and youth organizations can connect, collaborate, and exchange ideas. This forum serves as a vibrant community hub for discussing real-life sustainability challenges, sharing best practices, and fostering innovative educational approaches.

Aligned with the 4 GreenComp areas, embodying sustainability values, embracing complexity in sustainability, envisioning sustainable futures and acting for sustainability, the forum encourages meaningful dialogue that bridges theory with action.

Educators can engage in peer learning, seek advice, and reflect on their project work, while youth organizations can contribute fresh perspectives, insights, and initiatives from their on-the-ground experiences. Through open discussions, resource sharing, and collective problem-solving, participants will build a stronger network of sustainability-driven educators and changemakers.

Join the conversation, collaborate on solutions, and inspire a greener, more sustainable future together!
