why?

what's in it for them

development education

environmental education

People come first,
poverty, development, justice is the main priority
Environment and conservation is secondary

Opposite of Development education, here nature is the priority.

Balance between both

livelihood

1950 and 1960,
space race pushed people to learn maths and science, 100 of dollars got
invested to create engineers for successful space programe

so limitations is also there,
how much ESD should be incorporated? along with traditional education system
why traditional education system needed and how does it help us compare to ESD

Investmenttext

economy security

workforce

for ESD both the factors are important like economic wellbeing and the principles of sustainability

INDIA

Education for sustainable devpt (ESD)

learning to know, learning to be, learning to live together, learning to do and learning to transform oneself and society.”

Ecological Footprint Indicator-which compares impact of human actions on the ecology with natural resources available to supply key ecosystem services

the principle of reuse, reduce and recycle. In some cases it is a matter of personal choice but for a large majority, it is necessitated by economic compulsions.

environmental education (EE)

NGram - sustainability

Steps

1.Identify where you lie in the awareness steps/how sustainable are you?

2.Identify area of interest for-fashion, food and agriculture, consumerism etc

3.Identify current practises by the user

4.Introduce keywords and concepts in that context- permaculrure, aquaphonics, slow fashion, upcycling,second life products etc

5.Someway to be able to track their progress too?

Could be a questionnaire they take in the start they places them in each section, like the personality test

Be able to divide it into small sections that users could concentrate on at a time and start.

Could be simpls steps to do follow, or a core value or a simplified motto they can follow to simple thought processes and ease their choice making-

How to break it down?

Sections or sectors -food, fashion, travel etc

Basic Elemnts- Water, Air, Erath etc

Alphabetically break it down to different topics ?

By different methods possible- what all can be reused, recycled, upcycle, like a directory of methods.

Beginner modules
with basic skill set and
tangible outputs and behavioral
change.

How to make them think

Let's make a demo model
and see what can be done.

curriculum should be
flexible and adaptable

multidisciplinary approach
similar to IIT guwhati

are we seeking something job oriented
or something for corporates,
or mix
or something flexible which can be implemented anywhere
example a multidiscplinary approach, may be some element
will be used and some won't.

Policy change

Complete course

Basic structure

standard subjects, along
with vocational skills and subjects

Introduction and what changes can be done
eg change in environment, conscious thinking.

maths, science, music, philosophy,
design, Drama. an introduction to everything
but on a broader level

challenges of multidisciplinary approach

Established curriculum examples

Two way approach
so to deliver the content, is it possible
that one person will be able to deliver it?
Don't we need NGOs teachers, skilled workers
to deliver it. Training for teachers

Challenges by sustainability and curriculum

Bring trans disciplinary
