'Sustainable Capacity Building and ESD' and '60 Minutes to Convince'

In early September 2005, UNESCO's Bureau of Pubic Information launched a series of 60 week-long events organized as part of the events to mark the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Organization and designed to focus attention on a range of the Organization's activities. Each week, an hour-long seminar entitled 60 Minutes to Convince, held at lunchtime on successive Tuesdays, evoke, week by week, 60 subjects at the heart of its action.

Among the weekly seminars, a fair number relate to 'Sustainable capacity development and education for sustainable development', including:

  • Education for All (5-9 September 2005)
  • Citizen education (19-24 September)
  • Teachers (3-8 October)
  • National policies and Education for All (7-12 November)
  • Secondary and vocational education (30 January-4 February 2006)
  • Education of girls and women (6-11 March)
  • Higher education (3-8 April)
  • Distance learning (29 May-3 June)
  • Education for sustainable development (5-10 June)
  • Education through sport (17-22 July)
  • Non-formal education (25-30 September)
  • Science education (9-14 October)
  • Arts education (23-28 October)

In addition, sustainable capacity development is explicit in a number of the activities presented and discussed in other weekly seminars (e.g. that on 'Science, technology and development').
