LfS Connect: ‘Creating a culture of LfS in your setting’
The General Teaching Council for Scotland’s Learning for Sustainability Hub, developed in partnership with LfS Scotland, provides a one-stop-shop to help educators across the 3-18 continuum to ‘explore, engage, enact & embed, and connect’ with Learning for Sustainability in their individual practice – and the wider life of their setting.
A key element of the Hub is ‘LfS Connect’: which includes monthly online opportunities for educators to network and collaborate with others, and explore key aspects of Learning for Sustainability.
The LfS Connect session on 19 June 2025 offered participants an opportunity to discuss a key aspect of Learning for Sustainability in Scotland – ‘Creating a culture of LfS in our settings’. Ensuring that every 3-18 learning setting in Scotland is a ‘Sustainable Learning Setting’ by 2050 is a key ambition of ‘Target 2030: A movement for people, planet, and prosperity’ – the national LfS Action Plan for Scotland.
Realising this ambition requires multi-layered, pan-sectoral support, and we were delighted to welcome Lorraine Budge; Quality Improvement Officer from the City of Edinburgh Council, who shared more about the fantastic work being done across the City’s schools and early learning settings to embed LfS across the everyday for all learners and educators.
