EDST607 Education for a Sustainable Future

10 cp

This unit aims to empower educators with the values, knowledge and skills to realise the principles and practices of ecological sustainable development in their professional and personal lives, in the workplace and in the wider community. A major obstacle to sustainable development is the widespread lack of understanding of key ecological ideas and principles. The role of education is therefore crucial in helping educators and their students focus on the knowledge, values and skills which underpin an understanding of the way the earth’s ecology functions as well as the historical and present role of human development on ecosystems.
