The goal is to build the capacities of relevant institutions, teachers and students towards an understanding of the SDGs and their implementation in the coming period, and to enhance cross-border cooperation between institutions in the field of education for sustainable development (ESD) in SEE (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo*, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro and Serbia).

* This designation is without prejudice to positions on status, and is in line with UNSCR 1244 and the ICJ Opinion on the Kosovo declaration of independence.

The project will directly involve around 70 policy makers/legislators from ministries of education and other relevant educational institutions in the beneficiary countries, and approximately 700 experts, educators, teachers and students in secondary education. Bearing in mind the number of secondary schools and vocational education and training (VET) schools in the target countries (over 1,000 schools and 470,000 students), as well as the potential involvement of families and the general public, the project will have an extremely wide outreach.

Activities implemented during the three-year project are divided into three clusters:

• institutional strengthening and supporting national and international institutional networking;

• developing an online educational tool and building the capacities of teachers and educators; and

• increasing students’ knowledge about job creation opportunities.

• Assessments
• Capacity building and training
• Cooperation
• Knowledge transfer
• Grant programme
• Events organisation
