“Learning for Sustainability” (LfS) is a cross cutting theme in the Scottish education system. As Learning through Landscapes we welcome the refreshed Learning for Sustainability Action Plan (2023-2030), with 5 key themes and 25 actions for all who work with children and young people to take forward.
The term “Learning for Sustainability”, coined in Scotland, is now gaining traction in other countries as a cross-curricular approach which enables learners, educators, learning settings and their wider community to build a socially-just, sustainable and equitable society; and as an effective whole-setting approach which weaves together global citizenship, sustainable development and outdoor learning to create coherent, rewarding and transformative learning experiences.
