5 SEED NETWORK The European COMENIUS 3 network, School Development through Environmental Education (SEED) is a group of educational authorities and institutes who promote Environmental Education as a driving force for School Development. Within the 14 European SEED partner countries and 5 SEED member countries, Environmental Education fosters an innovative culture of teaching and learning that promotes Education for Sustainability. SEED invites schools, teacher education institutes and educational authorities to work together, to learn from each other s experiences and to accumulate their knowledge in their quest in working towards sustainable development. TARGETS Because of the creation of the COMENIUS 3 networks, SEED is able to encourage co-operation among its stakeholders by working on existing, completed and prospective COMENIUS projects. Stakeholders associated with the network benefit from these environmental education developments. SEED also facilitates a close dialogue and better understanding among policy makers and practitioners in the various education systems. The ultimate target group is the pupils who benefit from innovative teaching practices and modern teaching and learning pedagogies.

Austria will check the (Austrian) student mobility together with the Austrian Socrates bureau (Ms. Birgit Schattenmann) and provide this information to all partners in respect of the coming COMENIUS 2 contact seminar in Szeged. QUALITY INDICATORS It was decided to formulate statements of SEED (as well as ENSI) to the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development of the UN Assembly based on the results of the Quality Indicator study. (expected or hope for outcomes, specific focuses, action competence, participation) On basis of such a paper the national commissions of UNESCO should be contacted Austria was asked to collect a literature list for the Qualitiy Indicators study.

The network has been called School Development through Environmental Education (SEED), because the results of the ENSI conferences From Pilot to the Mainstream 1999 in Hadeland /Norway and Learnscape Across the Globe 2001 in Reichenau / Austria enforced ENSI to emphasise on the interface of those issues. So SEED derived respectively based on the projects ECO-Schools, Mainstreaming and Teacher Education. 7
