Shaping the Future We We Want, the\u00a0<\/em>UN DESD Final Report is here<\/a>. \u00a0The report says:<\/p>\n

\"A solid foundation has been laid for ESD at the end of the DESD, achieved by raising awareness, influencing policies and generating significant numbers of good practice projects in all areas of education and learning.\"<\/p>\n

By happy coincidence, at the end of 10 years of work, \"10 key findings and trends have emerged\" that will guide ESD into the future:<\/p>\n

ESD, an enabler for sustainable development<\/em> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Education systems are addressing sustainability issues<\/p>\n

2. Sustainable development agendas and education agendas are converging<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Importance of stakeholder engagement for ESD \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

3. Political leadership has proven instrumental<\/p>\n

4. Multi-stakeholder partnerships are particularly effective<\/p>\n

5. Local commitments are growing<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

ESD is galvanizing pedagogical innovation<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. Whole-institution approaches help practise ESD<\/p>\n

7. ESD facilitates interactive, learner-driven pedagogies<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

ESD has spread across all levels and areas of education<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

8. ESD is being integrated into formal education<\/p>\n

9. Non-formal and informal ESD is increasing<\/p>\n

10. Technical and vocational education and training advances sustainable development<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These are, of course, findings that are meant to apply everywhere \u2013 in general terms \u2013 but probably not anywhere in their entirety. \u00a0Conveniently, they are the sort of findings that UNESCO would like to have found after 10 years hard labour \u2013 try writing them in the negative to see what I mean.<\/p>\n

Usefully, however, these 10 points provide an evaluative yardstick for any political jurisdiction, however small or large, to use to see the degree to which the finding applies there. \u00a0What you have to do it to put \"To what extent is \/ are<\/strong> <\/em>...\" in front of each of the 10 statements, and then look for the evidence. \u00a0Happily, this would fit with work on the forthcoming \u00a0Global Action Plan<\/em> as it would enable the identification of the 'gap' between global evaluative rhetoric and on-the-ground reality.<\/p>\n
