Learning for Sustainability features regularly in recent educational publications. With a heightened awareness resulting from COPS 26 and close links to Outdoor Learning, Gardening, Citizenship and The <\/a>Sustainable Development Goals<\/a> it is becoming a prominent theme with links running through the Curriculum for Excellence.<\/p>\n

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. An effective whole school and community approach to LfS weaves together global citizenship, sustainable development education, outdoor learning and children\u2019s rights to create coherent, rewarding and transformative learning experiences. LfS is fully embedded in the General Teaching Council for Scotland\u2019s Professional Standards and is recognised as an entitlement for all learners.<\/p>\n
