EPALE Community Conference 2021 - Workshop: Green education in practice: how can we mainstream sustainability in the provision of adult learning

Environmental awareness, sustainability, green skills: no longer restricted to climate activism, these concepts are now slowly entering the mainstream discourse in adult learning. Do we already know how to put them into practice? As adult educators, are we ready to support our learners in becoming conscious global citizens? What support do we need from our institutions and policymakers in order to drive long-term change? During our interactive workshop, we will exchange ideas and experiences on what we are already doing in order to promote conscious global citizenship and areas where we can improve. The discussion will finish with the Manifesto on Adult Learning and Education for Sustainability.
