On 5-8 January 2020, I went to the University of Bristol, United Kingdom, as a member of the Advisory Group for a large (£2.5 million) action research project on Transforming Educational Systems for Sustainable Development (TES4SD). The project will have national hubs in India, Rwanda, Somalia and South Africa, and project leaders from each country participated in the meeting, and presented at a public launching of the project. One of the main project organizers, Terra Sprague, is a member of the International Environment Forum, and another Ashley Brockwell, is a long-time friend and fellow researcher on values-based indicators of education for sustainable development.
