learningforsustainability.net is an online sustainability resource which aims to provide a practical resource for proponents of multi-stakeholder learning processes.
It defines sustainability as a process, rather than an outcome or an external achievable goal. The site notes that in sustainable development everyone is a user and provider of information, and notes the need to change from old sector-centred ways of doing business to new approaches that involve cross-sectoral co-ordination and the integration of environmental and social concerns into all development processes.
It also provides links to a number of tools and teaching resources with a sustainability bent, including a number of excellent games such as My Sustainable House and Stop Disasters. Games are an excellent, structured way of learning for children especially, as they contain multiple levels of increasing complexity which increase knowledge as they go, and they offer a wide range of challanges that help combat boredom (Kirriemuir & McFarlane 2004).
