Supporting CLCs through a Partnership Approach
Conclusion of action principles and policy support mechanisms for community-based ESD
Using the framework to identify achievementsRecognition of the significant contribution of non-formal and informal learning in the achievements of the UNDESD.
“CLC critically important for building the links between school education and communities and societies. “ (Nagoya ESD World Conference Report, 2014)
Recognition of the value of partnerships between business and community members in developing locally contextualized curriculum for teaching and learning with school children.
Using the framework to identify lessons learnt
Youth and adult education was not seen as key strategy in previous global education policy frameworks. But SDG 4 provides a valuable opportunity for CLCs to advocate that this view be changed.
National ESD Programmes tended to cater to the general population and not paid sufficient attention to women, poor and indigenous peoples – groups that CLCs can reach being community-based.
AE, through CLCs, can support quality improvements in schools (community management of schools, family literacy/learning) through partnerships.
Using the framework to identify future challenges and recommendations
Advocate for more holistic education for youth and adults.
Establish multi-dimensional / multi-sectoral partnership and finding good strategies to make this happen.
UNESCO-UIL: effective support strategies through advocacy, research, standard setting, etc.
Contribute to greater social inclusion:• Design and conduct learning and education
activities targeting specific groups of disadvantaged people.
• Form alliances with disadvantaged people.
Ensure that gender equality and women’s empowerment are addressed in all programmes.
Using the framework to identify conference recommendations
1. Increase public awareness about the roles and importance of CLCs for lifelong learning for all and sustainable development of the community;
4. Ensure sufficient resources to enable CLCs to function better.
2. Improve the legal basis/regulations and the appropriate policies for maintaining, strengthening and sustaining CLCs;
3. Support collaboration of all providers and stakeholders involved in the delivery of community-based ESD and/or ALE in CLCs.
5. On-going capacity-building of CLC staff is very important to ensure the quality as well as quantity of ESD and/or ALE.
