ESDGC ESDGC

Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship (ESDGC) is education that will prepare young people for life in the 21st century.  The Welsh Assembly Government have recently released a document to aid delivery of ESDGC in schools. The ‘Themes’ identified in the ‘Common Understanding’ cover the range of ESDGC and support the delivery of statutory Subject Orders, relevant frameworks, other relevant non-statutory frameworks and the 14-19 Learning Core.

In response to this, NGfL Cymru are developing a microsite that supports schools with good practice examples, policy guidance and links to relevant materials and resources.  This area will also be used by DCELLS as the main vehicle for communicating with schools.
