Description
Background and Rationale
Local communities are the driving force of a sustainable society and a crucial part of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With a view to strengthening its support to communities in the Asia-Pacific region in their efforts to advance towards the SDGs, UNESCO Bangkok launched the project ‘Promoting Community-based Education for Sustainable Development’. The aim of the project is to enhance the capacities of community-based, adult and/or non-formal educators to support communities in embedding learning in their pursuit of sustainable development by bringing the whole community together to reflect on and address their issues and concerns from sustainability perspectives.
A conceptual framework named ‘Reflect-Share-Act’ and learning modules for this process were developed through the implementation of pilot projects in five countries in the region: India, Japan, Lao PDR, Mongolia, and Philippines. The pilot project in India was implemented in the state of Karnataka, led by the Centre for Environment Education (CEE) South.
