Quality education for sustainable development - Aalto Sustainability Talks 22.10.2020

Education is a basic human right and key to change. Research suggests that investments in quality education pay off in fundamental ways ranging from individual well-being to more equal and cohesive societies and economic performance. Yet, at the same time, we are currently facing a global education and learning crisis. By taking “Quality education” as one of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, the global community has acknowledged its crucial role as the indispensable basis for the common strive towards a sustainable future. Essentially, the target of quality education covers also acquisition of knowledge and skills to promote sustainability thus, being an enabling factor for achieving the other SDGs. This session of Aalto Sustainability Talks discusses education from sustainability’s perspective and strives to contribute to the on-going discourse around potential solutions, different approaches, and alternative angles to the global learning crisis. The session features Professor of Practice Ritva Reinikka, Staff Scientist Edward Mutafungwa and Associate Professor Annina Suominen. The event is chaired by Director of Aalto Global Impact, Riina Subra. The seminar series is organized by Aalto Sustainability Hub. For more information, visit: https://www.aalto.fi/en/events/aalto-...
