secondary education

This is the overview page for secondary education where you can find knowledge, online and offline events, news and tools to get started with sustainability in secondary education.

More and more secondary schools are working on learning for sustainable development. In this way, they are helping to build a sustainable society and a circular economy with room to develop everyone's unique talent.

Through the Learning for Tomorrow network, teachers and school leaders can actively learn from each other's experiences. We also offer them instruments and tools (such as the Sustainabul) with which they can further develop the sustainability of their education.

The Whole School Approach helps schools (on a strategic level) to start thinking and acting sustainably in the area that the school is currently working on: whether this is making the canteen more sustainable or renewing teaching materials.

Projects

Together we are responsible for a large number of projects that contribute to sustainable education. We do this from our own organizations, but we also work on joint projects. By seeking targeted cooperation we reach a wider audience and accelerate the transition to sustainable education. See our projects in the secondary education sector.
