Honoring contributions to the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development, the Austrian Commission for UNESCO annually awards patronage to selected projects and initiatives – and today recognized our “Solution – Leadership for Sustainability” conferences for their “impact on youth, their innovative learning approach and the cultural diversity of their participants”.

While we are happy and grateful for the recognition, we especially thank the many facilitators, partners and participants of previous years who made this happen. More than that we are also very excited to soon launch an enriched program for 2010 – now under official UNESCO patronage…

“The United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014) seeks to integrate the principles, values, and practices of sustainable development into all aspects of education and learning, in order to address the social, economic, cultural and environmental problems of the 21st century.”

Impressions of the conference and an open group for insights, ideas and perspectives are accessible at emersense.ning

“Solution – Leadership for Sustainability” is an annual four day conference by AIESEC and emersense first hosted in 2006. Until now around 200 selected participants and well over 40 reputable guests and partners from across the world have participated in this unique learning platform to create a sustainable future.
