Using Co-operative Inquiry to embed Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) across all programmes offered by Plymouth Institute of Education (PIoE)

Our aim is to embed Education for Sustainable Development across all of our courses, ensuring that all students benefit from an education where social, economic and environmental sustainability is woven into the very fabric of their learning experience, thereby producing graduates who take this learning forward and embed it in their own teaching. To achieve this, the aims of the projects were:  To embed elements of ESD in all PIoE programmes utilising a co-operative inquiry approach (Heron and Reason 2001) • To critically evaluate co-operative inquiry (CI) as an effective mechanism for the implementation of ESD in HE.
