Dear RCE Members,

The United Nations University in May of this year released its publication "5 Years of Regional Centres of Expertise on ESD". This publication documents the first 5 years of RCE activity, including activities by continent. A map of the 75 RCEs existing at the time of publication is also included. I am pleased to announce that this publication is now available online at:

http://www.ias.unu.edu/resource_centre/5%20years%20of%20RCEs.pdf

The document has many photos including those from RCE Saskatchewan. Thank you to those who contributed. RCE Saskatchewan is also mentioned at various points. You can also get a good overview of the other RCEs in our network. Feel free to share this link with others in your organization and in our ESD community. The global RCE community has much to celebrate and this book is indicative of that work.--Roger

Dear RCE Colleagues,

The World Sustainable Development Teach-In Day will be held on the 3rd December 2010, being co-organised by RCE Hamburg. It will be the largest initiative on sustainability education ever organised, and participants from over 50 countries will take advantage of this unique event

I would like to invite interested RCEs to contribute towards the event, by preparing a power point presentation on one of the topics of the conference, which can be seen:  http://world-sustainability-day.net/en.html

Accepted presentations will, subject to a review, be put on-line during the event and will showcase your work to a wide audience. Expressions of interest to contribute to the event, initially outlining the title of the envisaged input and the author(s) of the work to be submitted, should be sent to us at: beids@beids.de. You will then get a feed-back and a template which you can use for your presentation.

Finally, the authors who want to, may submit a paper about the topic, which may be published in the book "World Trends on Education for Sustainable Development" which will be published in 2011 as part of the award-winning book series "Environmental Education, Communication and Sustainability" .

Established in 1996 and with over 30 ground-breaking volumes published to date, this is the world´s longest running book series on the topic. Please indicate if you want to contribute to it, so that we can send you the template for papers.

Rgds,

Walter Leal

P.S. Let other people know about it!
