Sustainability
June 20, 2022
Brock Corydon School is committed to integrate sustainability topics, issues, and approaches into classroom activities.
It is our goal that our students will become informed and responsible decision-makers, playing active roles as citizens of Canada and the world, and will contribute to social, environmental, and economic well-being, and an equitable quality of life for all, now and in the future. We want to prepare our students to live sustainably and to establish life-long sustainable development practices.
Education for Sustainable Development involves incorporating key themes of sustainable development – such as poverty alleviation, human rights, health and environmental protection, climate change – into the education system. ESD is a complex and evolving concept and requires learning about key themes from a social, cultural, environmental and economic perspective and explores how those factors are inter-related and inter-dependent.
The ESD initiative in Manitoba is linked to the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development, a project of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
