Why participate?

In 2015, the United Nations published the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outlining a vision for 2030 to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity.

The urgent need for education which can support all young people to question, debate and act in relation to local and global issues becomes increasingly clear.

Developed through collaboration between teacher educators across the UK, this professional learning will support you to develop the confidence to plan for, and implement, Learning for Equity and Sustainability (LfES) in your ITE practice, inspiring new teachers who can support young peoples’ engagement with local and global issues

Engagement in this fully funded course will:

• Support your understanding of the concepts and pedagogical approaches in LfES
