The 13th Learning Teacher Network Conference;

From Theory to Action, A Creative Response to ESD

Dubrovnik, Croatia

ESD in action is all about citizen engagement. It is the collaborative energy generated by educational creativity, community action and ethical corporate participation. Transformation is possible only if the objectives are clear and shared by all the partners. How do we reconcile economic growth with sustainability? How does a democratic society encourage citizens to reduce consumption to allow effective climate change to take place? How do we ensure that international agreements on temperature reduction are implemented and supported by nations that are contributing to the problem significantly? There are no magic answers or instant solutions, only a commitment to real creative endeavour to find answers.

The Learning Teacher Network wants and is contributing creatively to the solution. Through its activities, projects, links to teacher education programmes and wide international membership, it has been consistently promoting and advocating for ESD for over a decade now. There is a need to find creative solutions and to bring together the substantial learning of the network on ESD from the last decade and redefine how it can be translated and harnessed into the future needs of society. The LTN is aware of some fantastic work/projects/educational programmes going on to address these concerns. Our conferences are the ideal platform to showcase and share all of these activities and creative ideas.
