Goals and Objectives
The Symposium on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) aims to provide a platform for local and international educators, researchers, and other stakeholders to converge and discuss best practices to advance ESD in higher education institutes. It will explore strategies for engaging and empowering youth via formal teaching and experiential learning opportunities, examine the challenges and opportunities in teaching sustainability concepts, and foster synergistic collaboration among educators across a broad spectrum of disciplines.
Keynote Speakers
Professor Mee Kam Ng, Vice-chair of the Department of Geography and Resource Management and the Founding Director of Urban Studies Programme at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, and Professor Patrick Paul Walsh, Vice President of Education and Director of the SDG Academy and Professor of International Development Studies at University College Dublin will give the keynote speeches.

More than 15 scholars working in ESD from 11 different institutions in Beijing, Ireland, Shenzhen, Taiwan and locally will share their insights through panel discussion and moderation.
