Transforming Futures: Advancing ESD for 2030 through Action Research
The Kenya National Commission for UNESCO (KNATCOM) held a two-day workshop on 15–16 April 2025 at Murang’a Teachers Training College, bringing together 30 Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) practitioners from five ASPnet institutions. The workshop introduced participants to action research aimed at evaluating ESD tools with a focus on integrating sustainability into curricula, pedagogy, and assessment through a whole-institution approach.
Participants from Wote TTI, Buruburu Girls, Hospital Hill Primary, Murang’a TTC, and Kenyatta University were trained on the application of ESD tools and developed action plans to guide their research. The three-month project, funded by the Government of Japan through the UNESCO Participation Programme, will generate insights to inform the review and scaling up of ESD practices in Kenya’s learning institutions.
