YouthLink Scotland is committed to the role that Learning for Sustainability has in both a current and future practice as a youth work sector. On this website, you can find the current projects that YouthLink Scotland is supporting, resources on LfS and opportunities on how to get involved.
Learning for Sustainability (LfS) is an approach to life and learning which enables learners, educators, schools and their wider communities to build a socially-just, sustainable and equitable society. As an umbrella term LfS weaves together global citizenship, sustainable development education and outdoor learning to create coherent, rewarding and transformative learning experiences that support young people’s development and understanding of the world around them.
LfS is an entitlement for all learners within the Curriculum for Excellence and both the UN Sustainable Development Goals & UNCRC are central to Scotland’s national vision.
