Description of RCE and Geographic Region:

RCE West Sweden is based in Västra Götaland (West Sweden), an area large enough to encompass great variety yet small enough to enable close connections. The region was represented in a UNESCO publication launched at Rio +20 as a model for network-based learning for sustainable development, linking formal, in-formal and non-formal ESD actors. Currently 22% of the population is engaged in non-formal education, while 13% attend university studies. Today a societal transformation towards more sustainable ecological, social and economical futures is the most challenging task for all actors and a lot more needs to be done in West Sweden to achieve this goal. The RCE strives to integrate local educational traditions with innovative leaning and enterprise, balancing continuity with transformation.
