What 

UN’s organization for international collaboration in Education, Sciences, and Culture, UNESCO, has recently announced two ambitious global initiatives, Education for Sustainable Development: Towards achieving the SDGs’ (ESD for 2030) and Futures of Education – Learning to Become, which focuses on visions for the future(s) of education post-2050. 

The overall theme of this conference is Education for and as Sustainable Development in the Anthropocene. The conference aims to explore how the idea behind “futures of education - learning to become” is essential both for “the transformations of human minds and societies” in general,  in relation to the idea of the Anthropocene, and for the development of Education for/as Sustainable Development as presented in the UN Agenda for Sustainable Development 2030, especially regarding the theme of equality and diversity. 


The conference examines these issues both in general and more specifically concerning Polytechnic Education at Higher Educational Institutions (HEI)
