In 2014, the UNESCO-Japan Prize on Education for Sustainable Development was launched at the World Conference on ESD in Japan. It aims to support efforts to carry out the Global Action Programme on ESD, by honouring outstanding projects in the field of ESD. The Prize was awarded for the first time in 2015.
Asociación SERES received the Prize for its “SERES ESD Youth Ambassadors” initiative. It is building a cohort of facilitators to help achieve community resilience to a changing climate. The project certifies youth ambassadors to train other young people to become multipliers of established sustainability programmes. It inspires and activates youth leadership for more sustainable lifestyles through individual and collective actions.
Jayagiri Centre in Indonesia received the Prize for its “Eco-Friendly Entrepreneurship for Youths and Adults” programme. It takes an innovative approach to developing entrepreneurial skills and local engagement in sustainability. The programme encourages people between the ages of 18 and 45 to work with their local community, harnessing indigenous traditions, to create their own products with mainly recycled material. Participants learn not only how to make puppets, masks, baskets and sculptures, but also how to market them. The project preserves local culture and the environment while initiating rural business and stimulating competitiveness through real-life learning situations.
rootAbility from Germany received the Prize for its “Green Office Model”. The main actors are university students who form “Green Office” teams with both teachers and administrative staff from their institution. The aim is to make their university greener and more sustainable: the teams learn to run activities such as waste recycling and sustainable catering, while raising their own funding. Green Offices have already been established in six European countries.
Considering the growing interest in the field of ESD, the annual UNESCO-Japan Prize is designed to encourage and publicize good practices in ESD around the world
