Sustainable Development
2004 marked the start of the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development.

The Scottish Government published their response to this in 2006 - Learning for Our Future: Scotland's First Action Plan for the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development, The Scottish Government, ISBN 0-7559-5072-0.

Aim and Objectives

By 2014 people in Scotland will have developed the knowledge, understanding, skills and values to live more sustainable lives.

  • bring initiatives together rather than adding to confusion and overload
  • pool experience, skills, ideas and expertise
  • develop shared approaches and a common language
  • provide support to practitioners throughout the sector
  • spot new opportunities
  • highlight and celebrate the good work that is already going on
  • learn from each other.

As a means of achieving these aims and objectives in the college sector the Scottish Funding Council have financed a national initiative to look at approaches to embedding sustainable development into the Scottish College Curriculum.

This project is managed by Scotland's Colleges and we work with the following strategic partners:
