Connecting Classrooms
Understanding the big issues that shape our world has never been more important. Issues like climate change, gender equality and how to live sustainably affect – and connect – us all: wherever we are in the world.
From 2019 – 2021, the Connecting Classrooms through Global Learning programme supported schools across the globe to collaborate on and learn about these big issues.
Through a combination of fully-funded professional learning and funding, expert support and resources for local and global school partnerships, it enabled teachers and students to enhance and develop the confidence, skills, knowledge, values and attitudes they need to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world – and create positive change as part of a whole-setting approach to Learning for Sustainability and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Although the funded support available through the programme has now come to an end, there continue to be a host of opportunities on offer through the CCGL programme. Find out more by visiting the Scotland-specific CCGL website.
Consultancy, Facilitated Workshops & Talks
RCE Scotland/LfS Scotland is delighted to have been invited to take part in consultancy work that supports our members’ aims and objectives. We have worked on in-depth, independent reviews of programmes for large organisations and we have consulted on projects that include learning for sustainability. We also work with organisations to develop their LfS activities and we can deliver workshops or talks on LfS and the SDGs. If you’d like to speak to us about consultancy work, delivering workshops, or presenting at an event or meeting – or any other projects or plans you need help with, please contact the staff team and we will be happy to chat things though with you.

Task Groups
As a member organisation, it’s our role to bring people together to work on key areas of interest. Together, we form task groups which encompass a wide range of topics and outcomes.
UN Sustainable Development Goals
The work carried out by Learning for Sustainability Scotland aligns with all 17 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We believe we have a part to play as a membership organisation to roll out the aims and values of the SDGs across Scotland, across all sectors.
Our members, too, are finding more ways to align with the SDGs and we are always looking for ways to help promote our members’ work.
