We are in the final stage of United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development that ends in 2014. According to the UN the main challenge is to turn abstract concepts into concrete actions. The Western Harbour is a unique opportunity for both organised academinc education and informal education for all residents and visitors. Despite education being a permanent process we often focus on formal learning in schools. Kerstin Sonesson, the Doctor of Ecology who became a teacher trainer, will here give a richly illustrated overview of the posibilities for education for sustainable development that are offered at the Western Harbour.
