In a Nutshell

Scope:
This summer course seeks to provide a high quality intensive training to post-graduate students in order to effectively apply Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in various types of designated areas such as Biosphere Reserves, National Parks, Natura 2000 sites, etc.

The course project ultimately promotes the designated areas and especially UNESCO/ MAB Bioshere Reserves as "learning laboratories" ideal for applying education for sustainable development.

The summer course does not come as a standalone initiative but is yet another step in a long lasting fruitful collaboration of a team of partners engaged with the promotion of ESD in designated areas.

The content and methods of the course are based, to a large extend on the UNESCO publication entitled "Education for Sustainable Development in Biospheres Reserves and other Designated Areas: A Resource Book for Educators in South-Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean" that has been developed in 2012 as a training material for ESD experts and trainers. This resource book is available for download here:
