EDUCATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
From policy into practice
Friday 18 November 2005, London
International Week presents an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of
international education in the context of sustainable development. This
conference will provide an opportunity to bring together the different
aspects and ways of engaging with the sustainable development and education
agenda.
Through adopting the innovative 'open space' format, the conference will
enable participants to exchange views on sustainable practice and policy
and engage in an arena of lively holistic dialogue with the aim of bringing
together policy makers and practitioners to facilitate the development of
policy at a local level.
Participants will have the opportunity to:
* Gain an overview and understand the concepts of sustainable
development beyond the environmental issues.
* Engage in a dialogue around the implementation of
sustainable practices.
* Identify effective quality indicators around sustainable
practice.
* Explore sustainable development action plans to enable
policy makers and practitioners to plan and devise working strategies to
implement their plans locally.
The conference will host a marketplace with organisations supporting
national and international development on sustainable development and
poverty
