Off to Beijing

Posted in: Comment, Talks and Presentations

I'm off to the 6th Beijing International Forum on ESD.  The theme is Education for Sustainable Development: Education for Tomorrow – The Decade Review and Future Prospects. I'll be speaking on: The Development of ESD indicators – exploring frameworks and criteria.

The Forum is quite an international affair with contributors from Austria Cambodian Canada France Japan Korea Malaysia the Netherlands Russia Sweden Switzerland and the USA, as well as policy and practice folk from across China.  And there's the promise of field trips to ESD experimental schools in Beijing.
