2019 RCE Awards for Innovative Projects on Education for Sustainable Development
2019 RCE Awards for Innovative Projects on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)
Now in its 8th year, the RCE Award celebrates projects and programmes on ESD within the Global RCE Network, honouring RCEs who have made outstanding contributions to address local sustainable development challenges in their regions.
The Award recognises projects and programmes that bridge local and global perspectives on sustainable development, those that engage with transformative learning and research, and initiatives that contribute to community engagement, research & development and capacity development of stakeholders and partners.
The winners of the eighth annual RCE Awards covered projects across a spectrum of the SDGs and themes, including climate action, sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption and production, and of course, quality education. Recipients were awarded across three categories: (1) Outstanding Flagship Project, (2) Acknowledged Flagship Project, and (3) Honourable Mention.
