Education for Sustainable Development

“By 2030, ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including, among others, through education for sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship and appreciation of cultural diversity and of culture’s contribution to sustainable development.” (SDG Target 4.7)

Our Design Studies recognises the value of Education for Sustainable Development as a catalyst for change. We are highly committed to engaging a wide and diverse audience and advocate for the inclusion of for design and sustainability in the teaching curriculum to promote futurist global citizenship among children of all ages. We are therefore excited to work with schools and teachers across the country to increase exposure and access to the study of design for sustainable innovation.
