ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
OGUN STATE SUSTAINABILITY EDUCATION PROGRAM (OGSEP):
TASUED Staff Professional Development Workshop on ESD Competences
Education is a powerful catalyst for change towards sustainability and a driver of all 17 UN global goals for sustainable development (SDGs). Education plays a crucial role in supporting citizens in developing the competencies needed to live responsibly and, at the same time, transform their society. Hence, it is critical to ensure that teachers and educators build the necessary capacity for the essential knowledge, understanding, skills, values, and dispositions to pass on sustainability competencies to the general populace, even as they are deemed catalysts in this chain reaction.
The Ogun State Sustainability Education Program (OGSEP) leverages the acquired competencies of teachers to meet the SDG target 4.7, which states that “By 2030, all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development…” As the Nation’s Premier University of Education, the Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED) kicks off the Ogun State Sustainability Education Program (OGSEP), focusing on professionalizing teacher/staff competencies on learning for sustainability.
The immediate objective of the Ogun State Sustainability Education Program (OGSEP) is first to explore the crucial role of education for sustainable development (ESD) within teacher education by introducing a professional development workshop, “ESD competencies for societal transformation” to all teaching staff of TASUED.
The mission of the OGSEP is statewide. That is, it is a state program responsible for developing the sustainability competencies of every citizen and resident of Ogun State. It covers formal and non-formal forms of learning. In addition, it extends to the workplace, including government offices, staff, and agencies facilitated by the network of teachers and educators.
This staff professional development workshop equips the TASUED educators with relevant knowledge, awareness, and action competencies to become change agents that will transform our societies for the betterment of all people, including their students and the planet.

September 6th – 8th 2022, Hasselt, Belgium
- The Higher Education Summit 2022 aims to bring together those who wish to transform higher education for the benefit of a “safe and just space for humanity” (Raworth, 2017): people who study, teach, research, and contribute to governance at higher education institutions, and representatives of the business world, government, and civil society.
- We invite you to join us to rethink the role of higher education institutions in shaping the economy. Whether we prefer to call it a doughnut economy, circular economy, or regenerative economy – we all aspire for a world in which humans can flourish in close harmony with a thriving planet. And we know that learning is key to driving this transformation (Berlin Declaration on Education for Sustainable Development, 2021).
