Goals and Objective:
Our activities aim to clarify the natural, economic, and social problems which hinder sustainable development, and to develop a network for developing individuals who will be able to resolve such problems. In more concrete terms, our activities consist of the following:
Education and mutual learning at all levels – formal, informal, and non-formal
Educating individuals who have a holistic and critical point of view, can conceive the relation between humans and nature, and can plant the seeds of ESD into local communities
Research and development of methods to measure the level of achievement of ESD and SDGs in the region
