Virtual Workshop on Climate Action and Education for Sustainable Development


The BEACON-Team warmly invites you to the transnational virtual Workshop on Climate Action and Education for Sustainable Development.

The focus of the workshop is an exchange of good practice examples in the context of education for sustainable development (ESD) in Bulgaria, Czech Republic and Romania.

Stakeholders from policy and public administration, science, educational institutions, and the EUKI Community have the opportunity to share experiences on climate action and education for sustainable development. In the workshop, participants will also identify proven climate protection examples or put them up for discussion. Technical discussions, examples of practical action, and input by experts will be followed by interactive discussions in small groups. In these country-specific groups, the implementation of good practice examples in the local context will be discussed and education policy options that promote climate action will be exchanged.
