3nd European Fair on Education for Sustainable Development
Posted in Events by Devin Maeztri on December 22nd, 2008
Under the theme “Renewable Energy and Climate Change: Thematic Challenges to European Schools and Universities†, the 3nd European Fair on Education for Sustainable Development, is being organised by the Research and Transfer Centre “Applications of Life Sciences†of the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences and the Centre for Sustainable Construction (ZzB) Hamburg, under the auspices of the RCE Hamburg and Region.
The RCE Hamburg and Region is part of a global network of Regional Centres of Expertise on Education for Sustainable Development (RCEs) coordinated by the United Nations University. The aims of the 3rd European Fair on Education for Sustainable Development are threefold:
i. to provide European organisations with an opportunity to display and present their works (i.e. policies research, activities, practical projects) as they relate to education for, with and about the environment with a focus on renewable energy and climate issues;
ii. to foster the exchange of information, ideas and experiences acquired in the execution of projects, from successful initiatives and good practice;
iii. to discuss methodological approaches and projects which aim to integrate the topic of renewable energy and climate change in the curriculum of schools and universities;
iv. to introduce the European RCEs and discuss their activities in the field of renewable energy and climate change, as well as explore possibilities for cooperation. Last but not least, a further aim of the event will be to link and network people and organisations working in the field so that they can use renewable energy as one of the tools towards tackling the challenges of climate change.
