Regional RCE Conferences - Open Call for 2017

We would like to invite RCE members from the African, Americas, Asia Pacific, and European communities to submit self-nominations to host the upcoming RCE Regional Conference for 2017.

In an effort to step up the contributions of the global RCE network beyond the UN Decade on Education for Sustainable Development (DESD), and in order to strengthen its capacities towards implementing the SDGS and the priorities of the Global Action Programme on ESD, it is necessary to protect the integrity of the global RCE network and to promote the quality of practice, consistent with the principles of good governance.
