Gaia in Schools Programme
Gaia Education offers a range of packages to support integrating more holistic Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) into Schools.
Gaia in Schools is a groundbreaking programme designed for schools that are planning to adapt, or already diving into, Gaia Education's renowned Design for Sustainability or GaiaYES curricula.
Our programme brings sustainability to life in engaging and hands-on ways. We believe in making sustainability education fun, interactive, and relevant to your students' lives. From exciting project-based learning activities to thought-provoking discussions and experiential exercises, Gaia in Schools creates an environment where sustainable principles truly come alive.
By aligning with Gaia Education's principles, you'll join a global network of schools committed to empowering students as change-makers. Our curricula provide a solid foundation in sustainable development, ecological balance, social justice, and cultural diversity. We want to inspire your students to become active participants in creating a better world for themselves and future generations.

SDG Youth Multipliers Workshops
Using the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Gaia Education’s Design for Sustainability framework, everyone of any age, in any place, can lead or participate in culturally-creative projects to implement the SDGs in their area, focusing on local needs and priorities.
If you want to teach your students how to design holistic sustainability projects using the SDGs, or are a student yourself who wants to lead SDG action in your school, this workshop is for you!
With our certified facilitators using Gaia Education’s UNITAR-endorsed SDG Youth Flashcards, by the end of the half-day or one-day workshop, participants will have a clear idea of what the SDGs are and how to use them for holistic design projects for greater sustainability in their school and community.
