Sustainable lifestyles as part of lifelong learning

How can we promote adult learning for sustainability within work life and education in the Nordics? Based on the results from a Nordic project, four main principles for addressing contemporary challenges and supporting transformation towards sustainability are made visible. These principles can contribute to collaboration and realisation of the Nordic vision of a sustainable and integrated Nordic region by 2030.

Sustainable Culture for Change

We have developed and tested a concept for sustainable school improvement that supports school leader teams in building change capacity. The concept focuses on four key interventions: (1) clarifying the goals of the school improvement project (2) involving staff to foster ownership and collective engagement, (3) applying formative evaluation to guide ongoing improvements, and (4) sharing and reflecting on experiences to build knowledge on how to change. By addressing these areas, the concept lays the foundation for continuous adaptability, as it improves the schools’ ability to handle future demands. The concept thus helps ensure the sustainability of school improvement initiatives.
