Learning for Sustainability Scotland is Scotland’s UN University-recognised Regional Centre of Expertise (RCE) on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). These Centres are a global network of 200 local ESD hubs and, through multi-stakeholder partnerships across formal and non-formal education, they foster learning and action for a more sustainable world.

We recently attended the recent global RCE Conference in Okayama, Japan and you can read more about this here.

The conference also included a ceremony to present the Global RCE Awards; celebrating exemplary projects from across the world that demonstrate meaningful impact in promoting sustainability through education. We are delighted to share that RCE Scotland received two RCE Awards in the ‘Outstanding Flagship Project: Non-Youth-Led’ Award category.

About the Awards

The first, ‘Weaving ESD across Initial Teacher Education’ was for our collaborative work with colleagues from the Universities of Stirling, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and the General Teaching Council for Scotland, on Scotland’s National Framework for Learning for Sustainability in Initial Teacher Education. The second was for ‘Advocating for Learning for Sustainability in Scotland’: in recognition of our ongoing partnership-driven work in supporting Scotland’s national policy work in this area.

We would like to warmly thank the Global RCE Service Centre and the UN University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability for this prestigious recognition of the partnership-driven work happening across Scotland to make #LearningforSustainability part of the everyday for all of our educators and learners.
