Asociatia pentru Educatie si Dezvoltare Durabila - Association for Education and Sustainable Development (AESD)

Who we are?

Association for Education and Sustainable Development (AESD) is an educational center and its main activities are implementation of courses of formal or informal lifelong education, building an organized system of consulting, information and training with a lifelong duration. One of the activities of our association is to analyze the needs of the region and to make a network of local centers of distance learning that can be easily accessed within certain neglected areas.

The SWOT analysis of the Regional Development Agency No.3 South Muntenia pointed out that there isn’t a concordance between the educational offer of the schools and the request of the labour market. Our association tries to be complementary to the educational network that already exists and to offer more flexibility for the lifelong learning of adults. The co-operation with European institutions with experience in the field of education can raise the potential of our association in addressing the needs of education in this region, and at the same time can provide the impetus for the development of a new educational culture in this region.

We hope that our association can make a positive impact on social and economic development and at the same time generate new chances for people at risk of social exclusion, because some of the biggest social problems in our region are early school-leaving, growing unemployment and economic stagnation. It is appropriate that we should strive for the most modern and innovative solutions in our efforts to promote sustainable communities.

Our association maintains ongoing connections with the local authorities and educational authorities to ensure that our actions comply with regional development perspectives and because we believe that best practice in education strategies must be applied at this level. One of the goals of our association is to give marginalized young adults access to lifelong learning and to current job experience in order to be able to obtain fixed employment in the long term. Special emphasis is given to the improvement of social competence, career guidance and learning on demand.
