Aims

According to Education Scotland (2018) “Learning for sustainability (LfS) is an approach to learning, life and work.  It enables learners, educators, schools and their wider communities to build a socially-just, sustainable and equitable society”.

All learners have an entitlement to learning for sustainability.  In Glasgow Early Years we use the Growing Good Citizens toolkit to enable us to self evaluate and gain recognition through a Growing Good Citizens award: Growing Good Citizens Toolkit

COP26

With the upcoming COP26 conference being hosted in Glasgow this year (1st – 12th Nov 2021) a resource has been devised to support practitioners in engaging young children with the Sustainable Development Goals, in particular SDG 13: Climate Action.
