Fundisa for Change: Trainer of Trainers – Facilitating E-Learning is a capacity-building course designed to empower educators, facilitators, and trainers working in both formal and non-formal settings to advance Education for Sustainable Development (ESD).

This course supports professional development in digital and blended learning, enabling participants to design, facilitate, and evaluate ESD-aligned learning experiences. It promotes active learning, reflexive pedagogy, and the integration of environmental and sustainability content across diverse educational contexts.

Ideal for teacher educators, NGO practitioners, environmental educators, extension officers, and community facilitators, the course equips participants to support learning in schools, communities, and organisations.

This accredited short course is offered through Rhodes University and facilitated by an experienced member of the Fundisa for Change team. Participants will complete three practical assignments aligned with each module: a needs analysis, a facilitation plan, and a monitoring and evaluation tool. These tasks form part of a Portfolio of Evidence, which is required for successful completion and certification.
