Sustainability Education for Europe SEFE

About Sustainability Education for Europe SEFE

Sustainability Education for Europe (SEFE) is a new pan-European initiative to increase and improve sustainability education in primary and secondary schools across Europe. Our goal is to give the European youth access to knowledge on climate change, biodiversity, and the environment as a part of their ordinary formal education.

We believe education has the power to set the next generations up for success. It is therefore at the core of our work to advocate for a better future through better education. We believe education is the best investment a government can make, and that well-educated and well-informed citizens are key to tackling the climate crisis.

SEFE is an entirely volunteer-run initiative. We are a community of educators, policy experts, and sustainability enthusiasts, who carry out policy research on national curricula and best practices in sustainability education. On the basis of our research, we publish policy briefs and make suggestions on ways that governments and educational institutions can implement and improve sustainability curriculums throughout Europe.

Through our work, we aim to raise awareness around the importance of sustainability education in Europe. We believe that there needs to be more research and public discussion around the role education plays in the climate crisis. Our advocacy work is based on our policy research and the best practices we see in education. The goal of our advocacy work is to move governments and educational institutions to incorporate sustainability into their core curricula, and also to allocate more funds and resources to this.
