Integrating education for sustainable development (ESD) in teacher education in South-East Asia: a guide for teacher educators Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: UNESCO Bangkok This publication is a cumulative output of the project Sustainability Begins with Teachers in South-East Asia, implemented by UNESCO Bangkok, in cooperation with SEAMEO from 2017 to 2018, with the generous support of the Government of Japan. The initial content was developed together with the representatives of the universities and teacher education institutions who participated in the South-East Asia Sub-Regional Workshop on Education for Sustainable Development for Teacher Education Institutions, held from 5 to 9 June 2017 in Chiang Rai, Thailand. Content has since been enhanced through the sharing of knowledge and experiences gathered from a series of in-country workshops held in Cebu, Philippines; Luang Prabang, Lao PDR; Kampot, Cambodia; Bangkok, Thailand; and Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This culminated in a project review workshop in Bangkok from 24 to 26 April 2018 in which different in-country experiences were shared and comments on the guidebook collected. Twenty-six universities and teacher education institutions have taken part in the project process in total. This guidebook is a result of this collaborative journey.

Material educativo para los países situados en zonas montañosas: una manera creativa de educar sobre el medio ambiente Year of publication: 2011 Author: Thomas Schaaf Corporate author: UNESCO Entitled: A Teaching Resource Kit for Mountain Countries, it is a new environmental education kit similar to the Teaching Resource Kit for Dryland Countries published by UNESCO in 2008. It is based on the same innovative approach appealing to the creativity and artistic sensibility of pupils aged around 10 to 15, and is intended for secondary-school (and late primary-school) teachers and their pupils, this time living in mountain ecosystems, where climate and environmental conditions are harsh, often varying between extremes, and which are subject to the problems of erosion. As an educational tool, the kit offers a practical and attractive way of helping teachers and their pupils towards a better understanding of the environmental problems of their region and to stimulate their quest for possible solutions. In this respect, its content is a further contribution to the United Nations General Assembly’s resolution proclaiming 2002 the International Year of Mountains and is also consistent with the activities developed as part of the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014), the promotion of which is UNESCO’s responsibility.
