The Ubuntu Network seeks to enable and support post primary teacher educators to effectively integrate Development Education (DE) and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) into their professional practice.

In doing this, the Ubuntu Network has three primary objectives:

    *To generate interest and enthusiasm for DE and ESD among the post primary teacher education community and to create a disposition of engagement with the issues.
    *To support teacher educators to design, deliver and evaluate DE/ESD based interventions within their teaching and professional practice, and to ensure that an action research element is included where possible.
    *To establish and maintain a collaborative environment in which network members share and discuss knowledge and experience of DE/ESD issues and methodologies, and work together on collaborative DE/ESD based initiatives.
