The project will explore the possibilities of applying competences for sustainable development in the Czech education system - it will provide evidence for considering them as educational objectives, offer possibilities for their assessment as expected outcomes. It will test and reflect innovative educational strategies and methods that contribute to their development.

It aims to link formal and non-formal education, re-orient educational objectives towards sustainability, emphasise the future perspective, offer innovative approaches. The competences for ESD developed theoretically will be put into practice, with identification of obstacles and ways to overcome them. It will thus lay the methodological foundations for competency-based teacher education in the sustainability field.
