RCE Denmark
Overview
In Denmark we are only one RCE, and functions as an NGO. We are working for national and international networking for implementing and developing education and sustainable development. We are placed in the Northern part of Europe and we are closely related to the Nordic countries.
The network is open for all interested in education and integration and fusion of sustainable issues like environment, social relation, ethics, economic and how to change the development in a sustainable direction. We are open for educators, scientists, NGOs, officials and others with interests in education.

RCE Denmark will act as a national and international powerful centre for praxis oriented and related research and development of education and sustainable development not only within a single education but also across different educational sectors.
We have a board and no secretariat. Board members are selected among members and key partners of RCE. The RCE is working because different board persons have different roles and act as a networking organisation.
