Watch webinar 'The curriculum in relation to sustainability'

A series of meetings on key developments on sustainability in education were held in November. The meetings can be watched back on this website and are of interest to a wide audience. In addition to school administrators, school leaders and teachers in primary, secondary and tertiary education, other interested parties are cordially invited to watch the meetings back.

During this first webinar, webinar participants explored the space a school has to work with sustainability within the curriculum. Together with table guests Anton Bakker (curriculum developer mens & maatschappij at SLO), Ria Sluiter (director of Stichting Technasium), Caroline de Wild (school leader Sint Jan Baptistschool in Wassenaar) and Marcel Kamp (co-author of Plan Bèta-Bèta-Education for Sustainable Development, NVON) they sought answers to questions such as:

  • How do you make your own choices and emphases in the school curriculum in relation to sustainability?
  • Can it be related to the school's vision and identity?
  • Do you follow the teaching methods or use additional third-party teaching materials?
  • What can be the role of the school leader, teacher or lecturer in this regard
In addition, participants received practical, inspiring tips and tools and there was an opportunity to ask questions online.
