Education Network

UK ITE network for Education for Sustainable Development/ Global Citizenship

The network is funded and supported by ESCalate, WWF, Oxfam and the TDA and managed by the Centre for Cross Curricular Initiatives (CCCI), London South Bank University.

The network objectives are:

• To provide a UK forum for mutual support, debate and the exchange of ideas
• To raise the profile of EFS/GC within ITE providers and the associated
• organisations with whom they work, for example, the TDA, UCET, subject associations
• To develop partnerships for ESD/GC learning and teaching programmes and
  research projects
• To provide a platform for joint activities and events
• To provide for continuing professional development in ESD/GC for ITE university
  and school based tutors
• To gather a body of interesting practice and research in the field of ESD/GC
  practice and ITE
• To enable ITE to learn from the experience of other sectors e.g. schools,
  community, and business
• To form a strong base of support from which to influence policy and practice with
  respect to ESD/GC

The network was successfully launched in July 2007. As a result a steering group was formed with representation from HE, NGOs, ESCalate, UCET and the TDA. The network management team comprises Sally Inman, Maggie Rogers, Ros Wade, Alison Hatt.

A researcher has now been contracted to start drawing together a body of theory/policy/practice in ESD/GC. The website is being developed through ESCalate and the TDA in conjunction with CCCI.

If you would like to be involved in the network please send your details to Alison Hatt at CCCI ahsccci@lsbu.ac.uk and you will be added to the contact list. Further information including the membership of the steering group, minutes of meetings, conference details will soon be available on CCCI website www.lsbu.ac.uk/educ/ccci or ESCalate website www.escalate.ac.uk
