The aim of the meeting was to follow up the progress on implementing sustainability idea in a vocational school.
During the meeting project’s partners discussed the process of integrating sustainability in the school’s curriculum and practice.
The Met-ESD project is focused on curriculum, however, there has to be a recognition that if ESD is to be successfully implemented in the curriculum other aspects of the institution have to also adopt sustainable development otherwise it gives a mixed message to the students.
Whole school approach the institution is telling the students that sustainable development is important. During the meeting the participants from Germany attended lessons at a vocational school and discussed progress of implementing sustainability in the school curriculum. During the seminar, the participants discussed the further plans that need to be attained within the project.
