Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 5
Abstract
It examines how the issue of Education for Sustainable development(ESD) can bevisibly integrated into the existing Environmental Education Association of Southern Africa (EEASA) culture and how the memberscan easily identify themselves with the philosophy of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), in an organisation embedded with environmental identity, culture, attitudes and with environmental oriented objectives. It investigates the ways in which organisational identity and values shape the association‟s attitudes, change processes. It achieved this by looking at the historical related factors of the organisation andits resistanceto international changes such as the adoption of the post 2015 sustainable development goals (SDG 4 on education and target 4.7).Interviews, questionnaires and documentary evidence were used. It noted that dramatic changes on Sustainable Development agenda challenged (EEASA) to see it necessary to consider significant reforms, in terms of branding the name of the association, adapt to change or accept the consequences of inaction or be irrelevant. The study found that the association‟s historical oriented legacy was not interested to brand its name and this had a potential of undermining the association‟s effort to market itself to external audience. Members were reluctant to change or brand the associations‟ name to inclusively accommodate new international changes.
