Education for Sustainable Development

Our vision on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) helps determine Djapo's direction. Discover why we are convinced that ESD can contribute to quality education in our theoretical framework 'The school as a place for practice'.

ESD or GCE: what's in a name?

In 2014, Djapo resolutely chose Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) as the pedagogical framework to realise our vision and mission. Yet we also often talk about Global Citizenship Education (GCE) and seem to use the two terms side by side. Why is that?

Make your thinking visible

In our theoretical framework, we emphasise how useful it is when children and young people learn to make their thinking visible.

Action-oriented thinking in practice

'The school as a place for practice' aims to strengthen the confidence of children and young people in their own ability to shape society. How do you achieve this in practice?
