Welcome to the TESF Network Plus
We support collaborative research to develop understanding of how education systems can act as drivers of sustainable development in India, Rwanda, Somalia/Somaliland and South Africa.
The Transforming Education for Sustainable Futures network is funded by the Global Challenges Research Fund through the Economic and Social Research Council Network Plus scheme. It is coordinated out of the University of Bristol and works with partners in India, Rwanda, Somalia/Somaliland, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. It is due to run for three and a half years, from November 2019 to April 2023.
Our research addresses the role of education in climate action, decent work and sustainable cities. Addressing inequalities relating to poverty, gender and the status of indigenous knowledge are cross-cutting themes in our work, as are concerns for foregrounding marginalised voices and decolonising research.
Funded projects
Our aim is to develop new knowledge that can assist education policy makers, practitioners, non-governmental and community-based organisations to implement policies and practices in education that are transformative and can contribute to ensuring equitable, just and environmentally sustainable development.
We are funding and supporting a balanced mix of 60+ exploratory, innovative studies and pilot projects lasting up to 12 months within the four countries of India, Rwanda, Somalia/Somaliland and South Africa.

Visibility and voices of children, integrated learning in school gardens ... just some of the things making my brain buzz in Day 2 of Insights and Inspirations @TransformingESF South Africa

Anticipating the One Child On Tree child forest tree planting. The children are excited as all of them will receive a tree with their name on it, which they will plant on a site that was availed by @HuyeDistrict. @OCOT_CF @UCmhs @MHB_Research @CoEBrwanda
How do we create collaborative, equitable research and learning spaces that heal and don't wound?
One of many issues from today's Insights and Inspirations @TransformingESF South Africa conference
