Education for Change' is a forum to communicate ideas and achievements for life long learning in a '2030 carbon-free culture'.
It is associated with a Google Web Site entitled 'New Culture: New Education', and is administered by 'International Classrooms On Line'.From All Corners Of The World
Nations, organizations and people from all the corners of the world are working together to address the present and future challenges from different areas, for a better future for humanity.
With the COVID-19 pandemic continuing to impact lives and livelihoods, a health crisis has quickly become a human and socio-economic crisis, impeding progress towards achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), whilst also making their achievement even more urgent and necessary.
There are only 10 years left to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. That’s why world leaders, at the SDG Summit in September 2019, called for a Decade of Action, pledging to mobilize financing, enhance national implementation and strengthen institutions to achieve the Goals by the target date of 2030.
Accelerated efforts are needed to boost sustainable solutions to the biggest challenges we face. The Decade of Action asks for transformative economic, educational and environmental solutions. We will need inspiration and creativity at global, local and individual levels – from national and local governments, civil society, the private sector, academia and youth. A transformative recovery from COVID- 19 should reduce the risk of future crises and re-launch the Decade of Action.

2030 Sustainable Development Goals
At the UN General Assembly on 25 September 2015, 193 state and government leaders adopted the declaration on Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development2 , at its core are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and its 169 objectives. A new feature is the detailed breakdown in different spheres of activity and the target groups, because the SDGs are addressed to all nations, the so-called “developed” countries as well as developing and emerging countries. Thus Germany appears as a developing country. The implementation of the 17 SDGs by 2030 can succeed only through societal rethinking and a change in our political and personal patterns of behaviour.

Global Learning
Global Learning is an interdisciplinary educational concept which can be understood as a pedagogical response to the sustainable development needs of our global society. At its centre is the interaction between the local and the global level, with action-oriented lifelong learning as the aim, with the acquisition of skills so that one can orient oneself in this globalised world and live responsibly. Correspondingly broad is its interface with areas such as human rights education, fair trade, environmental education, intercultural learning or sustainability . Global Learning is based on the fact that people today live and interact in a globalised world. The challenge for education is to provide learners not only with opportunities to learn, but to reflect on their own opinions and roles in this intertwined global society. The prerequisite to sharing and possibly arguing for one’s opinions are skills and tools: information gathering, forming of opinion, contributing to a culture of debate and possibly dispute, forms of political participation and intervention, dealing with media and/or elected representatives. These are all features of lifelong learning that cannot be incorporated effectively into schooling.

Educational Goals
The Sustainable Development Goal's Target 4.7 is that by 2030, all learners should "......acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including, among others, through education for sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship and appreciation of cultural diversity and of culture’s contribution to sustainable development”. Education for Sustainable Development is more than environmental education. It differs from environmental education as well as from development education through a broader and more inclusive approach, which integrates the environmental, economic and social aspects (“sustainability triangle”). Education for Sustainable Development should contribute to the realisation of the social concept of sustainable development as defined in Agenda 21 (1992), and has the aim of empowering people to actively shape an ecologically compatible, economically efficient and socially just environment taking the global perspective into account.
