Ms Leona De Khors:

One of the five priority areas in the ESD to 2030 strategy is accelerating local level actions, so it is promoting schools' involvement in activities in their local area. As Ms O'Connor said, we issue a quarterly ESD newsletter to all schools. We have more than 1,000 subscribers. That highlights activities taking place in schools. Schools write in and tell us what they are doing and for doing that they get a voucher towards ESD and projects in the school.

One of the criteria for granting ESD funding is an element of local activities by the school. We have a call at the moment for organisations that support schools, like Green-Schools, ECO-UNESCO and other organisations providing resources and CPD to teachers. That call closes this week. In September, we will issue a call for funding for initiatives and projects on ESD in schools.
