To culminate the EC+10 events being celebrated around the world a conference will be held at CEE Ahmedabad from November 1-3, 2010. The conference titled "Ethical Framework for a Sustainable World" will be a 3 day conference with pre conference workshops beginning October 30.
The EC+10 Conference aims to close the gap between the principles enshrined in the Earth Charter and their acceptance and integration into practice. It seeks to provide a forum for people from a wide range of sectors to share and assess experiences as well as explore creative and effective ways to integrate EC principles into their practice.
The Conference will set the context for evolving appropriate techniques, processes and indicators relating to the application of the EC framework and principles within the larger canvas of Education for Sustainable Development.
The EC+10 Conference will seek to facilitate an invigorating consultative process through thematic workshops that will bring together thinkers and practitioners from a variety of sectors. The Conference plenaries will set the tone and pace for the more focused discussions and interactions.
The Conference consultations will centre on identifying effective and creative ways of embedding into practice, the values and principles that constitute an ethical framework for a sustainable world.
Participants will include EC member associates, partners, users, UNESCO members / Education Ministries, NGOs, Youth, Youth Groups, Universities and other Academic institutions, Research institutions, Religious groups and Business, CSR groups.
The conference is being held with a view to do the following :
• Strengthen efforts at making ESD central to education practice and training
• Clarify the role the EC can play in education
• Share experiences on the use of EC in education
• Strengthen partnerships with the EC
• To capture the spirit of the events related to EC + 10 and to use the ideas to discuss and launch the vision for the EC for the next decade ( 2011-2020)
