On Friday 19 April 2024, the University of Malta hosted the Seminar on Sustainable Development, titled .
The Global Education thematic seminar was held with the aim of fostering an exchange from North and South perspectives on sustainability education, and it occurred back-to-back with the North-South Centre’s Global Education Network annual meeting which gathered the national coordinators for two days.
This year’s seminar provided a space for policymakers, practitioners, and experts to identify through interactive exchanges how to enhance intercultural learning in sustainability education, thus teaching for sustainable development.
A number of recommendations from the Seminar will contribute to the North-South Centre’s design of a Long-Term Training Course on “Global Education and Sustainable Development” and a Tutored Online Training Course on “Global Education and Climate change”. They will also feed the reflections of the newly created Council of Europe working group on “Education for Sustainable Development and the Reference Framework of Competences for Democratic Culture”.
During the Seminar which took place at the Valletta Campus, UM Rector, Prof. Alfred J. Vella said ‘this seminar serves as an opportunity to strengthen the link between education for sustainable development, human rights protection and global citizenship.’
