Our experience can benefit a wide range of organisations at both local and national levels
We have undertaken a number of consultancy projects in recent years, drawing on our expertise in a range of areas, including initial teacher education, education for sustainability, and curriculum development.
In 2010 we were awarded the lead role in the Regional Centre of Expertise (RCE) for our experience in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD).
Coordinated via the United Nations Education for Sustainable Development Programme, an RCE is an active and diverse network of people and organisations striving to promote ESD in their region/local area. Each RCE creates a regional/local knowledge base for supporting ESD action, and promotes four major goals of ESD:
We lead the London RCE and using our work in the Centre for Cross Curricular Initiatives (CCCI), and our MSc in Education for Sustainability as a rich source of expertise.
The London RCE partners with a large number of organisations, including: WWF-UK, Fairtrade, Oxfam Education, Tower Hamlet Humanities Education Centre, Sustainability and Environmental Education (SEEd), and London Sustainability Exchange (LSE).
In 2010 we started work on a four year knowledge transfer project with Trinity College London, a leading provider of respected international qualifications across a range of disciplines in the performing and creative arts, and in English language learning and teaching. Transfer of expertise in distance learning pedagogy is at the centre of the partnership.

Our other recent projects include the Teacher Education Network on Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship, which we were awarded with the responsibility to set up and run.
