The Course for Sustainability is an educational programme for key government officials responsible for the “three pillars” of sustainable development: economic, social and environmental well-being for all in the present and future generations. It is designed to give members of various ministries and agencies — not only environmental — a chance to examine the major approaches to sustainable development.

Noted professors and experts conduct a series of modules that examine strategies, methodologies, policies and actions to further sustainability in governmental plans and programmes. The course structure has been chosen by the project partners to best suit the needs of key policy makers in the region. Alumni events encourage participants to maintain their dedication to sustainability long after the course ends.

Four rounds of the Course for Sustainability have been successfully completed for governmental officials in Central and Eastern Europe. In April 2008, a special nationally tailored Course for Sustainability will begin in Kazakhstan.
