9Foreword of the President of the Kultusministerkonferenz (KMK)ForewordGlobal sustainable development – a concern of educational policyOn 11. 06. 2015, we adopted the Curriculum Framework for Education for Sustainable Development in the plenum of the Standing Conference of the German Ministers of Education and Culture(KMK). On this occasion we took the opportunity to review morethan a decade of constructive cooperation between experts incharge of development cooperation and in charge of education.In 2007, the plenum of the Standing Conference of the GermanMinisters of Education and Culture adopted the first edition ofthe Framework. Meanwhile, this Framework has been implemented in many projects of the German federal states, partly supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation andDevelopment (BMZ). An evaluation in 2013 showed encouragingresults.Target of the new edition is an extension and update of the Framework. The new Frameworkdoes not fundamentally change the approach and orientation of the 2007 version. In principle, the Framework remains integrated into the international pursuit of sustainability; itremains closely linked to the didactics of school subjects and to the competency model. Butall of these elements have been updated and supplemented by several school subjects ofSecondary Level I. Among those, we find subjects without any immediately apparent connection to global sustainable development, like, for example, Mathematics and Sport.The chapter “Sustainable Development as task for the whole school” gives hints on how tointegrate sustainability into the organisation and structure of daily school life.Since 2011, within this project of KMK and BMZ, more than forty authors have contributedto this book of about 500 pages. A task force with representatives of science and civil society has accompanied this project.The Curriculum Framework shall continue to provide conceptual support to the educationsystems and to the federal states’ development of curricula, to teacher training on all levels,to textbook authors and editors of school supplies. It shall offer a guideline for schools todesign profiles or full-day programmes, for their quality assurance and for the participationof external governmental and non-governmental competency. Last not least, the Frameworkprovides a sound basis for continuing the successful cooperation of education and development.Minister of State Brunhild KurthPresident of the Standing Conference of the German Ministers of Education and Culture

10Foreword of the Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ)Global sustainable development – a concern of development politics“Since its publication in 2007/2008, the Curriculum Frameworkhas had considerable influence on the development and practiceof Global Learning and hence on Education for Sustainable Development.”This is the result of an evaluation commissioned by the GermanFederal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development(BMZ). The positive conclusion has encouraged the Standing Conference of the German Ministers of Education and Culture KMKand BMZ to publish the 500 page updated and extended newversion of the “Curriculum Framework for Education for Sustainable Development”.In the new edition of the Curriculum Framework, adopted by the KMK plenum in 06/2015,we have put special emphasis on including the “Post-2015” Agenda on sustainable development. This agenda reaches far beyond classical development politics and the Millennium Development Goals which will expire by this year. It connects all dimensions of sustainability and is valid for all countries worldwide, not just for the developing countries. Thenew goals, to be adopted by the UN General Assembly in September, provide the chance fora new pact on the world’s future with industrial and emerging economies contributing interms of a global partnership. This partnership, however, can only come true if people learnto see themselves as parts of One World. Hence, for the first time, Education for SustainableDevelopment is included as an explicit goal.Therefore it is my concern that our shared responsibility for a good future for all humanbeings on this planet will be addressed by education in Germany. This Framework is an important instrument to implement this goal. Within Global Development Education pupilsand students should acquire core competencies such as the ability to change perspectives orto develop empathy and learn to see themselves as “Global Citizens” of the One World.In order to further stimulate the debate about our German contribution to the implementation of this Agenda, the BMZ has launched the Charta for the Future to trigger a broadbased dialogue together with many stakeholders from civil society, politics, churches, business and science. In 2015 and 2016, we will organise the “ZukunftsTour EINEWELT – UnsereVerantwortung” (Future Tour ONE WORLD – our responsibility) to introduce and discussthe topics of the Charta for the Future in all federal states.Here I would like to thank the federal states for their high level of willingness to support usin advancing Global Development Education. This way we can join our efforts to root thetopics of sustainable development in society.Dr. Gerd MüllerFederal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development
