Partnering with people and organisations involved in addressing the SDGs in the “real world” can significantly enrich and strengthen education for sustainable development (ESD) content and programs in higher education. The aim of this session is to share inspiring examples of cross-sector partnerships for ESD from our region, and explore the benefits of pursuing such partnerships, good practices for making them work, and opportunities for scaling them up.
