NATIONAL SEMINAR ON Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)

Education for Sustainable Development is holistic and transformational education that addresses learning content and outcomes, pedagogy and the learning environment. Thus, ESD does not only integrate contents such as climate change, poverty and sustainable consumption into the curriculum; it also creates interactive, learner-centered teaching and learning settings. What ESD requires is a shift from teaching to learning. It asks for an action-oriented, transformative pedagogy, which supports self-directed learning, participation and collaboration, problem-orientation, interdisciplinary approach and the linking of formal and informal learning. Only such pedagogical approaches make possible the development of the key competencies needed for promoting sustainable development. With the introduction of the New Education Policy 2019, India would like to train our youth to face the global challenges and contribute their best to the society.
