Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is essential in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our model introduces ESD to schools through a science based curriculum that is based on experiential learning through the hands-on use of innovative green technologies. Every school in the world is both an educational institution and an economic unit that requires a supply of basic services for its students and operation.
Our approach supplies schools with the technologies from partner companies that can provide schools with these basic goods in a sustainable, efficient manner; and educational resources that can utilize these technologies for experiential learning about science, technology and sustainability.
In this pilot, in Kenya, we implemented the model in the renewable energy domain, introducing biogas generators to provide fuel to the school kitchen.
