A short film documentary showing good practices of addressing environmental issues and sustainable environmental development by educational institutions in Denmark, Italy, and Belgium. Climate emergency and environmental issues require drastic social change, including individual and collective changes in our mentality, behavior, lifestyle, and education is a crucial tool for ensuring sustainable development of the environment. Education trade unions have a key role in ensuring that not only education about sustainable environmental development is integrated into all levels and aspects of education systems, but also that it is accompanied by sustainable and adequate technical, financial and staff resources and that education staff receive sufficient professional support.
Following the demand of ETUCE member organizations to support their work on sustainable development and its link to employment issues in the education sector, ETUCE has launched its first-ever project on the «Education for Social Change: The role of Education Trade Unions in addressing sustainable environmental development» which aims to build the capacity of education trade unions to prepare their affiliates to address environmental questions and climate emergency for sustainable development in education and training through social dialogue and collective bargaining with the view to address the impact that climate emergency and environmental sustainability measures have on the education sector in the European region.
