    Teacher Guide for Working with Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)

    The purpose of this teacher guide is to inspire teachers who want to work with climate change and sustainable development with their students. In this guide, you will find examples of teaching activities and teacher reflections on these activities. The activities described should be seen as inspiration. They could be adjusted according to a specific teaching context as preferred, thus aligned with the same objectives and perceived outcomes. The EU-project in which the activities were developed, was carried out with upper secondary students (aged 16-19). With smaller changes by the teachers, younger students can also work with the suggested activities. Beyond the goal of learning about climate change and sustainable development, the activities enable students to practice their critical thinking, and develop their communication and presentation skills.
