Nordic Summer University hosted a Winter Symposium in Odense, Denmark and NVL had a chance to present the re-launching of NVL’s inspiration book, as well as discuss the positives of working on sustainable education collectively on a Nordic level.

Additionally, NVL’s Network for Sustainable Development presented the output from the first part of the project Development of Educational Models for Sustainable Lifestyles offering 10 recommendations for educators planning education for sustainable living initiatives.
