International Forum on Regional Centers of Expertise on Education for Sustainable Development
The United Nations University (UNU) has implemented the programme on education for sustainable development (EfSD programme) through its Institute of Advanced Studies (UNU-IAS) since 2003 to promote the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014). UNU proposed to develop regional centres of expertise on education for sustainable development (RCEs) as one of the major thrusts of its EfSD programme, and has been promoting establishment of RCEs around the world. Ten RCEs around the world have been acknowledged.
RCE Beijing as the candidate has done a lot of work for the development of ESD in Beijing area and made much progress and also met many challenges. Taking these into account, it was considered most effective that the acknowledged RCEs as well as other RCE candidates would gather, exchange information and experiences on their RCE activities, and discuss the problems they have faced and ways to overcome them.
Sponsored by: International Geographical Union Commission for Geographical Education, United Nations University, Beijing Normal University, Changping Education Committee
Location: Beijing, China
Deadlines: The organizing committee cordially invite submissions of the papers to International Forum on RCE about ESD that will be held in Beijing, 15th to 18th, 2007.
