Description: Education for Sustainable development for secondary school
Website about this solution: https://larportalen.skolverket.se/#/modul/8-amnesovergripande/Grundskola/901-Hallbar-utveckling and https://larportalen.skolverket.se/#/modul/8-amnesovergripande/Gymnasieskola/902-Hallbar-utveckling-GY
Why I love this solution: The modules for secondary school addresse one of the most important tasks schools and education have to deal with - education for sustainable development (ESD). It appeals to teams of teachers and those who want to approach ESD from a cross-curricular perspective. The module emphasizes the need to elucidate the didactic questions, why is there a need for sustainable development education, what should the education contain and how should it be organized? The module highlights ESD that strengthens democratic actions, i.e. methods that enable students' participation and influence, critical approaches, reflection on values, local and global perspectives, and cross-disciplinary collaborations and a variety of educational methods. The goal is to raise students democratic action competence.
