    The Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is a decade program (2005-2014) led by UNESCO and held in Germany. The ESD means (obtained by BNE-Portal: Education for Sustainable Development ) "education that enables people to foresee, face up and solve problems that threaten the life on our planet  It also signifies education that disseminates the values and principles
    that are the basis of sustainable development (intergenerational
    equity, gender parity, social tolerance, poverty reduction,
    environmental protection and restoration, natural resource
    conservation, and just and peaceful societies). Lastly, it means
    education that highlights the complexity and interdependence of three
    spheres, the environment, society – broadly defined to include culture
    – and the economy".

    Considering education as the core of human’s mentality formation, we applaud and promote this kind of initiatives.

    The planet belongs to the next generations, so our children should learn to respect and take care of it.
