> Education for Sustainable Development (ESD): The Challenge for Higher,
> Further and Adult Education
> Conference + Workshops, University of Wales Swansea, 17 March 2003, 9am -
> 4.30pm
> 
> Sustainable Development (SD), especially since the Johannesburg Summit, is
> more and more mainstreamed, most notably by the Welsh Assembly Government,
> with its constitutional commitment to SD.
>       Yet despite the newly formed UUK/SCOP strategy group set up 5 months
> ago with a clear remit for sustainable development, the Higher and Further
> Education sectors have only recently started to address Education for
> sustainable development (ESD) in a comprehensive manner.
>       This conference, which includes hands-on workshops, intends to fill
> the existing gaps between good intentions and practical implementations.
> In conjunction with Forum for the Future's Higher Education Partnership
> for Sustainability (HEPS), Swansea Institute for Higher Education, Swansea
> College and University of Wales Swansea (UWS) the conference aims to:
> 
> 1.    Explore what ESD means for the HE/FE/AD sectors and how staff can
> engage in its development;
> 2.    Bring ESD practitioners together, so that participants can benefit
> from their experiences and advice;
> 3.    Provide workshops for participants to develop practical steps
> forward to integrate ESD into their work.
> 
> Speakers include:
> 
> Jane Davidson AM, Minister for Education and Lifelong Learning 
> Lisa Dobbins from the Government Advisory Panel on ESD
> Dr Andy Johnston from HEPS
> Professor John Farrar from University Wales Bangor.
