Conference on Sustainable Education in Zagreb

The international conference „Are civil rights and obligations connected to environmental issues in education”, organized by Network of Education Policy Centers, will be held in Zagreb, Croatia on the 28th & 29th of November 2012.
 
This event will gather members of the ENjoinED Initiative and the representatives of other civil society organizations from the EU and its neighbourhood countries, international experts on ESD, decision makers from the participating countries, educational experts, researchers and the representatives of the business sector from the Region.
The aim of the conference is to encourage further actions in promoting Education for Sustainability through nurturing the already existing partnerships, opening the initiative to new partners, regions and sectors and finding suitable entry points for Education for Sustainability in the formal education systems.

The ENjoinED initiative is a non-formal network of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and research institutions with different backgrounds – environmental organisations joining educational institutions – that promotes Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) through research, advocacy and training in 8 countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Estonia, Georgia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Romania and Slovenia. It was born out of the Education for Sustainable Development Partnership Initiative (ESdPI) project, funded and supported by the European Commission’s IPA funds for strengthening partnerships among CSOs, which is coordinated by the civil society organization Network of Education Policy Centers (NEPC: www.edupolicy.net).
