Journal Title: Studia Periegetica - Year 2016, Vol 15, Issue 1
Abstract
University Educators for Sustainable Development (UE4SD) is a 3-year project (2013- 2016) with 53 partners from 33 countries across Europe supporting teaching and learning for sustainability in higher education, and providing support and resources for professional development of educators. The main results include identifying the best practice examples of professional development in education for sustainable development (ESD) for European university educators, developing an online platform resource, and an academy of ESD. A mapping of opportunities for university teachers´ competence development in education for sustainable development has been carried out. Based on four regional reports (Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western Europe) this state of the art report was compiled. The best practices of the mapping are published in the Leading Practice Publication including insights into the status of ESD and strategies. An online platform of resources will be further developed for support of university educators’ competences. One of the main outputs will be developing an Academy for ESD in higher education in Europe. The project is funded by the European Commission, and Life Long Learning Programme (LPP) – academic networks.
