The Green Deal for a Sustainable Future

Biodiversity loss, climate change and environmental degradation are defining challenges of our generation and require more coordinated and incisive international efforts. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the interlinkages between human health and an healthy planet. The post COVID recovery should be an opportunity to build back greener and more inclusive societies and economies.

 

Together with the Teacher Task Force, Education International and UNESCO-UNEVOC, VVOB organises a session for the #EDD21 topic 'Green economy-related education and training': The Missing Link: Teaching for Green Transformation (15 June, 4 pm CET (GMT +2)).

The Missing Link: Teaching for Green Transformation

Preparing teachers and educators for training the workforce of the future

“The Green Deal for a Sustainable Future” critically depends on green skills - that is, skills for working in a green economy; and skills for helping to bring about a green, just economy - and on the teachers and trainers tasked with skilling youth for these transformations.

 

This session debates the following key questions:

  • What are the “green skills” that current and future generations entering the world of work need to thrive in the green economy and handle the threat that climate change poses to economic stability and sustainability?
  • What competencies and dispositions do teachers and trainers need to prepare learners for sustainable development and the green jobs of the future?
  • Which enabling conditions need to be put in place to support teachers for enacting these transformations?
