MOTTO FOR THE DAY?

“Education for Sustainable development (ESD) is a vision that aims to inclusively empower all people to take charge, cooperate and create a sustainable future. ESD particularly maintains the importance of culture and society in the transition towards a sustainable future.”UNESCO DESD website ESD is trans-disciplinary in orientation, viewing every subject as having an important contribution and perspective to bring to the field.
