Whole school approach of ENSI network for ESD in Hungary – achievements and challenges

Summary/Abstract: ENSI is an international network which has supported educational developments, environmental understanding, active approaches to teaching and learning through research, connecting researchers with practice and policy makers and the exchange of experiences internationally on a whole-school approach basis since 1986 (Posch, 1999). Recently whole school approach is supported and promoted by various international bodies (EU, 2010) (UNESCO, 2016)) as one of the key factor for successful education for sustainable development. Supported by this rich international professional background and strong political recommendations whole school approach of education for sustainability is present at the all level of education in Hungary. The Green Kindergarten Award for kindergartens, the Eco-school Award for primary and secondary education, the COPERNICUS program for higher education offer a framework to implement whole school approach. All of these programs give appreciation and professional support but no extra funds for institutions.
