In-session Activities

Learning Center

the learning center photographThe Learning Center is part of the official programme of the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) and runs parallel to the CSD plenary sessions. Its purpose is to provide teaching and training at a practical level on topics of relevance to the specific themes being considered by the CSD, as well as selective cross-cutting themes of sustainable development to further implementation of Agenda 21 and the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation (JPOI).

the learning center photographAll participants in CSD sessions are welcome to attend the courses, which are offered in three-hour sessions during regular meetings hours (10:00 to 13:00 and 15:00 to 18:00) in the United Nations conference area. Course instructors drawn from a variety of institutions use a wide range of instructional tools and approaches, including small working groups, case studies and lecture formats, and most courses include question and answer periods and interactive discussions. Participants have expressed enthusiasm for the Learning Center and feedback on individual courses has been positive.
