Invited jointly by the National Commissions for UNESCO of Namibia and Germany, participants presented ESD school-based projects and discussed how sustainability could be integrated in the school as a whole. In a final Declaration, participants stated that ESD should be more than a school subject and stressed the role of ASPnet schools as pioneers to promote schools as sustainable institutions.
