The "Educational Markets for Sustainability" have been taking place in Chemnitz since 2005 on changing sustainability topics. The initiators of the Chemnitz Education Network for Sustainability and the numerous co-operation partners prepare topics on sustainable development for schoolchildren and kindergarten children and offer these as part of the education market.
The World Action Programme "Education for Sustainable Development" adopted by UNESCO is the orientation framework:
"The aim is to reorient education and learning so that everyone has the opportunity to acquire the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes needed to contribute to sustainable development."
An exhibition entitled "Education for Sustainable Development", in which projects and initiatives from the Chemnitz region are presented, can be seen from 1 to 11 November in the foyer (ground floor) of the Kraftwerk e.V. socio-cultural centre.
