integrating Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) into schools across Namibia
Teach for ESD is a teacher professional development programme focusing on integrating Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) into schools across Namibia. Teach for ESD builds the capacity of Namibian teachers in delivering quality ESD as a cross-curricular theme throughout their subjects, leading ESD in extra-curricular activities, and promoting ESD leadership in the daily management of their school.
Through Teach for ESD, teachers commit to learning, sharing, and acting with the support of a community of practice. Teachers become ESD multipliers, impacting their entire school communities through the power of ESD. The overall aim is to improve the protection of the environment through education.
Program Overview:
The Teach for ESD programme equips Namibian teachers with environmental knowledge and skills to become ESD champions at their schools and in their communities. It is a 2-year programme commitment, supported by the Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture and currently fully funded.
The programme includes 4 main components:
- Teach for ESD Toolkit
