📋 Tender Overview
Over the years, Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) has been evolving and been adopted across all levels of formal education while gaining the interest of non-formal education. However, in most cases the approach is sporadic and disjoint; that is, the curricula promoting ESD do not reflect the way various educational institutions are run, while the connection with the surrounding community is not prominent. What is needed is an approach that brings together all these different components into a holistic functional unit that is more in line with the systems thinking promoted by ESD. This approach was formerly referred to as a Whole School Approach, but with the need to extend ESD beyond schooling, the term has changed to Whole Institution Approach (WIA). SUSEDI targets all Educational Institutions (EIs) and aims to transform them by supporting them to adopt the WIA. The term EIs refers to any institution offering formal or non-formal learning, independently of the level.
